    Does the shot that knocked Lewis out

    Does the shot that knocked Lewis out knock out Mike Tyson, Holyfield or any other HW's? it seems to me that the shot Rahman landed would of knocked most HW's out. McCall is a noted puncher who set Lewis up perfectly and countered him with a shot that he had been working on in training camp.

    Is it more a case of Lewis defensive liability than a bad chin?

    It may have wobbled Evander, but It wouldn't have knocked him out. It probably would have given Tyson jelly legs. That was a huge punch and even iron jawed guys like Ali, Evander and guys with good chins like Mike would have been hurt by that.

      I think it was more of a mistake on Lewis' part. His chin wasn't as bad as people make out. He took some heavy punches and stayed on his feet.

      The shot Rahman landed would drop most HW's IMO.

        I think even Heavyweights with very good chins would have been at least hurt by it. Tex Cobb probably would have just looked at Rahman though.

          I think the shot that Raman landed on Lewis is similar to the shot that Shavers caught Ali with in the 2nd round that buckled Ali. Both were against the ropes with the fighter that got hit misjudging the distance of the punch.

                    I love Tex Cobb (no ****), he was funnier than Ali, had an even better chin, but to be polite to Cobb, that's where the similarity ended..

                    I'd say Rahman's shot, landing flush which it did, would KO over 90% of HW's..

                    Cobb, McCall, Ali, Marciano, Chuvalo & possibly Holmes may have beaten the count..
                    Both Holyfield and Tyson, had a better chin than Lewis, but not quite as good as the above..
