  • Besides Lennox when was the last time anyone tested Vitali's chin?

    I can't think of a single opponent since Lewis that really caught Vitali square on his jaw. I vaguely remember Sanders trying to test it but not having any success. Vitali has been credited with a solid chin but I'm starting to wonder if the legend has outgrown reality.

    Sanders buzzed him quite badly. It was arguably a knockdown. No one else really.

      Sanders rocked him, and if he'd been in shape he most likely would've KO'd him. He tired out fast as hell though, really poor conditioning.

        Hard to judge really because both the Klits have this leaning, awkward style that makes incoming punches look worse. I remember sanders going at him but Vitali stood up to the attack.

          I vaguely remember Chisora landing a number of flush shots.

            Will have to rewatch but from memory it was as one-sided as anything and Arreola was nothing but a punchbag who landed virtually nothing.

              Chisora had Vitali gasping for air and desperate for the fight to end.

                Meh ignore that I read it as Arreola for some reason

                But yeah Chisora fought very well that night & landed a lot of flush shots to head and body

                  Right. I'm not saying Vitali hasn't been touched on the chin but I can't recall anyone since Lewis catching him just right and turning his legs to jelly. Chrisora did not do that to my recollection despite landing some decent shots.

                    Isnt it weird that Vitali has a really hard chin and Wlad is sorta chinny.
