Wladimir has 3 Knock out losses. The first one against ross purity was more a stamina issue so was the loss against brewster ( even if brewster caught him with clean shots, klitschko gassed already out before). The only time he was realy knock out on clean punches was against corrie sanders, who is dangerous for all the heavy weights because of his big punching power and is hand speed.
He also got knocked down 3 times by samuel peter, who is too a huge puncher, so even a guy with a good chin can be knock down by peter(an peter caught him behin the had once or twice).
so sure wlads chin isn't good, but can it be that his chin is underated ?

How can he have a glass chin if he keeps gettings up from fucking bombs. He stood up all those times against Sanders, now how many HWs would stand up after being knocked down so many times.
Then he is dropped 3 times against Peter, how many fighters would drop three times against Peter and come back to win the fight?
Is his chin great? Hell no it aint, the man panics too much. But it aint glass either.
In the end it doesnt mater, because you can knock him down all you want, he will come back and win the fight....so Who cares of he drops, if anything it makes things more excting.

I dont think his chin is that BAD.. he has serious mental issues when he gets hit.. But the guy has taken some mighty fucking punches and kept getting up.. So I would say his CHIN is underatted..
What you have to understand is.. They guy is so good.. The naysayers and haters have focused on the one thing they can criticise the guy for.. even if it's not accurate.. Remember all they want to talk about is 2 losses and NOT 48 wins and 43 KO's :no:
The answer to this question will be given to you in the Brewster fight. I think this fight defines his chin unless he totaly destroys Brewster but I dont know if that will be the case. Look for some back and forth action in this fight and also your questions about the chin will be answered
No. The puritty loss was from a big uppercut that made him wobbly in his traditional fashion and caused him to rell around on his rubber legs, stamina is a great excuse. The Nevada doctors said that wlad looked fine just before he got stopped, when he was putting brewster down. He got caught with 2 clean left hooks and his legs left the building, he was out on his feet rather like how bruno would often go.
He actually was out from the first sanders knockdown, the ref gave him 14 seconds by way of trying to help him since it was in germany! He went back down without another significant punch landing.
In the Peter fight, none of the knockdowns were from clean punches, rather than credit him for getting up id question why he went down, it seemed like a passing brush of air from a missed punch scared him into collapse, he was never caught big.
who is still the IBF hw champion and the number one rated hw? Klitschko is

against brewster he gassed out, you can see that in at the end of the 4th round he tried too punche brewster i think it was with a left hook, and he fell in front against the ropes, in the 5th his defense was very low
I don't think it's his Chin..
He got up what, all 10 times that he was down..
IMO it's how he reacts to getting hit. When Wlad gets tagged, he gets very panicky and discombobulated
It is underrated in the sense that he's not got a complete glass jaw in comparison to the average journeyman HW.
BUT, for a top heavyweight and a potential world champion, he has a weak chin. If he gets hit flush he's all over the fucking place. Luckily for him he doesn't often get hit flush because he's pretty damn skilled and opponents are now more worried by his right hand than landing their own bombs!
Against Peter he wasn't exhausted and went down 3 times.
2 of them were shots to the back of the head and Peter is a hard puncher, he got up from everyone but his chin is at best decent
its easier to KO a person who is tired then he is fresh.
and punchs that you dont see them coming are going to KO that is why counter punches look harder espically when a person is open and abit off balance then when he is in his blocking stance

He has been down a few times but like you said he gassed most of the time!!!! He has a good chin IMO!!!

The problem with Wlad is that he panics when he's caught flush and has a hard time regaining his composure. The notion of him possessing a 'glass' chin is grossly exaggerated though.
I think you hit it right on the button. He gassed twice, got knocked the fck out by a guy that he didn't give any respect to, and got knocked down a couple of times against dirty shots by Sam.
His chin is fine. It might not be the best but it sure as hell isn't glass. I think a lot of people think this because of the way he use to flinch so bad when a punch came within 5 inches of his face. With Steward as his trainer, he's started to block more shots instead of backing away from them. The only way Wlad loses will be if he gasses. If Sam couldn't knock him out, no one else will. Not even Sanders.
