    What ATG's were chinny?

    The upcoming bout with Amir Khan (I'm not suggesting he is, or ever will be an ATG incidentally) got me thinking bout fighters with questionable whiskers.

    Question is, are there any ATG fighters who could be reasonably classed as chinny?

    To quantify, I mean fighters with suspect resistance in their Prime and not fighters who lost it late on (eg Jones Jr).

    Possible candidates? Hearns? Louis?

    What you think....

    first one who comes to mind is Lennox Lewis who twice got wiped-out by journeymen, those 2 journeymen never replicated that punch power again in their careers nor had they shown it before they fought Lewis so it is fair to say that Lewis was very chinny... yet the Lewis huggers will claim that Lewis was `not focused`or the referee counted to fast`or it was a `lucky punch` etc

      I personnally don't have Lennox as an atg but def suspect chin.

      Aside from McCall and Rahman he got shook by Bruno, Briggs, Tucker and Mercer.

              I have to be realistic here and say Joe Frazier.Now personally myself,I don't see this man as an ATG but many do unfortunately, and if he is regarded as such then he most certainly would be on anyone's "chinny" list.

                Do you ever go a day without complaining about Lennox Lewis?

                    I may need some schooling here as I have a less than extensive knowledge on Smokin Joe.

                    Ok, he got taken apart by arguably the divisions most monstrous puncher ever.

                    Who else aside from Bonovena floored or badly hurt him?

                    Struggle to picture him as chinny given the amount of leather he took off Ali (a sharp enough hitter to take out Ole George) without goin over.
