    But come on.. his chin is no worse than Lennox Lewis's

    Lennox has been KO'd from 1 punch.. Twice.. Wlad never..
    but they were beautifully placed and timed shots right on the chin.

    could u picture wlad standing up to the kind of leather that lewis did against mercer?

    or taking those early left hooks from tua?

    i personally cannot.

    wlad chin is not glass, but it isn't good either, and lewis's was better.

      Lewis may have a slightly better chin than Wlad, but Wlad definatley has more heart. Wlad always gets up, unlike Lewis.

        Thank You and I agree 100% ..His mental make up is what is worrying....

        But It's a fixable problem..I guess time will tell

          Once Wladimir takes part in a 'war' and comes out victorious, I'll concur that he has heart, until then....

            wlad has never been hit with a shot like the one rahman hit lewis with in africa. nor has he taken a shot as well timed as mccall's was, as lewis was coming forward and going into the right hand.

            lummox did not lack heart in the ring (he never quit unlike the little ukranian who couldn't), but his recuprative powers were not that great.

              So were Corrie Sanders's.. and Brewster' was right on the money Too...

              Sam Peter nailed Wlad with a beautiful right hand in round 4 .. His best shot of the night.. Wlad was hardly phazed..

              I promise I am not saying Wlad is an ATG or anything.. I just think alot of his criticism is Unfounded and based on the word of BOXREC warriors..

                  LoL Holyfield in his prime would of annihilated Wlad, Holyfield was a monster in his prime. Holyfield had good power, not one punch knockout power, but from accumulation of punches so he can probably knock Wlad out. He definitely has a chin from the wars he had with Bowe, so he would of took some of Wlad's best punches and still keep coming, on top of that his handspeed was insanely fast, even faster then Wlad. Holyfield in in his prime would go to war with Wlad, the question is would Wlad kept fighting. You guy's are overrating Wlad he has beaten no one great.

                    the more i watch wladimir settle in to this change/alteration of his older style, the more comfortable i am with saying he could challenge most anyone.

                    WK fights a lot smarter these days. he is refining a perfect mother****ing jab. he has added uppercuts to his game - especially as part of a finishing combo. he is a hell of a lot more comfortable moving in the ring and fighting in the pocket.

                    i've been a fan since around 2000 or so, and have all of his fights in my video archive, so i am quite familiar with the recent changes set forth mostly by manny steward. every fight, he is looking better, more smoothe.
