Here is what Emmanuel Steward just said in a recent interview about his pupil: "Wladimir is one of the most devastating one-punch boxers in heavyweight history. He’s not the type of guy who wears you down. He can turn out the lights with one single punch."
He also said in the same interview that Wlad is becoming "...of the probably most respected and maybe on his way to becoming one of the top fighters in heavyweight history".
What do you all think? Discuss...
I seem to have missed this one punch monster shot, he seems to UD everyone nowadays. And for the last part, no is the simple answer.
LMAO! Come on, admit you haven't watched Wlad fight.
Wlad has the power to get early KOs but doesn't want to take chances. He remembers what happened against Brewster and Sanders. He rather chose to wear opponents down using a great left jab , perfect defense and movement. Wlad doesn't care about entertianing the fans, he wanna keep his titles and doesn't wanna get hurt in the process. He has no confidence in his chin.
To me it's worse than Mayweather VS Baldomir coz Mayweather didn't have the power to stop Baldomir whereas Wlad had the power to stop Ibragimov and to KO Chagaev earlier.
Not a big fan of Wlad,but i gotta admit both brothers are dominant,and yeh,maybe he IS one of the hardest punchers in history,i mean,we all love past fighters,but lets give him credit,he hits hard as **** and that can get overlooked just because of the era hes fighting in

WTF is Steward talking about? Wlad wears all his opponents down with the jab.
i heard another interview where steward said the same thing
i've never been a big wlad fan but he seems to have that one punch KO power emmanuel talks about
watched the brock fight the other night wlad has a tremendous right hand
And since you can't even get the man's KO record straight, it's kind of pointless to have a discussion with you about his standing in history, because you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
Who does Sultan punch in the face in your avatar?

The last time you must have seen him fight was a couple of years ago then...when was the last time he got a UD?
So that you don't embarass yourself next time, I suggest you find a helpful website called "BoxRec".

Really? Check out this record and tell me how many UD's Wlad has in the last 5 years.

I don't know how to brothers from the same family can have such a difference in "chin" - Vitaly has never been knocked down and took the Lewis' best shots. Wlad has been knocked down by 5 different fighters (I think). I don't get it. Maybe I could say it's balance because Wlad is so tall but Vitally is even taller. Is it psychological or physical? I think it's more psychological for Wlad. Either way, I don't think Wlad's chin is glass, he probably has an average chin with everything else being extraordinary (punch, movement, athleticism, skill..).
Neck size is something important in how good someones chin is, Vitali has a noticeably smaller / stronger neck then Wlads. Other then that and different exercises you can do to strengthen your neck you are either born with it or you're not, Vitali was and Wlad wasn't.
if he had Vitaly's nastiness, he would be very scary
