    Lennox Lewis. It took a single punch from 2 journeymen. No accumulation, nothing, just a punch and down he goes.

    He got up from both but was stopped. Down twice in his entire career. Took flush punches off Tyson , Tua , Bruno , Briggs , Grant , Vitali etc without blinking . I think that proves he had a very good chin . Tyson , Evander, Bowe went down more often than him .

    I noticed a few people mentioned Roy Jones and I may have to agree. Roy's reflexes were so extraordinary that he almost never even took a clean head shot for the first 40 or so fights of his career. I get the feeling that if in his prime he had the reflexes of a mere mortal, he would have been knocked around the ring like Zab, Wlad, and other glass jawed fighters.

    Primo Carnera didn't have the best of chins and he was a "title holder"

    Andrew Golota gets KO'd his fair share of times

    No way did Lewis have a glass chin! Just watch this.

    I thought Lewis simply couldn't get up from both. Got counted to 10 and that was it. His legs simply couldn't hold him. When Lewis faced Tyson I don't even think Tyson connected. I just wanted Tyson to connect that left hook to Lewis' jaw for him to crumble but Tyson, I dunno, just didn't had what he needed (past his prime, intimidation, etc.). When he faced Klitschko and got hit on the jaw before the fight was stopped he was fazed easily, same thing with Kltitschko.

    I didn't find out I was related to him (kinda sorta) until after he'd died. From what I've learned it seems once his cage got rattled it stayed that way.
    Oops

    Floyd Patterson is debatible. He got knocked out by 2 all time greats twice each and ingamar johannson. 5 times out of 64 fights. I don't see a glass chin.
