Great fighters who cant take a punch!

[ICB]

as soon as I read the thread title I knew people would be starting with the Lennox lewis nonsense...

He's a heavyweight for god's sake... yes he has two KO losses but if a 220 pound man hits anybody clean on the chin and they don't see it coming then they will get knocked out.

The two shots that got him were pretty massive. The glass jaw chin is basically a story/fallacy spread about him by people who haven't seen much, if any of his fights besides:

a) The Tyson fight
b) The Knockouts

Bruno hit him with some MASSIVE punches.

As for Roy Jones Junior, that's debatable... who had decent punch resistance... tarver caught him right on the button with a massive punch he didn't see coming, again - if a light heavyweight hits you flush then you'll know about it.

The Johnson knock out was the result of a sustained beating.

I don't think Roy had a great chin or anything but it is underrated to say the least.

and Lewis' chin is ridiculously underrated.

Well said, Lennox has actually been in fights where he took massive shots and stood up to them....In the Tua fight he took big shots and stayed upright

The Bruno fight is another

Roy is another fighter it is hard to judge because it was not until after the return trip from HW and combined with age before he was starched

I actually think the Gary Mason fight is his most underrated one, Gary Mason could hit really hard. And he hit Lennox Lewis with plenty of flush shots, and gave him a good argument. But that eye of Gary Mason's was horrendous, i think Memphis once told me. He was there ringside, and he heard Gary Mason "Yelp". As the final blow hit him right in his swollen eye.
