Wladimir Klitschko has a good chin
Wlad doesn't have a great chin like his brother, but he does have a good chin. Here's some facts about Wlad:
- He's had 55 heavyweight fights, and he's been down in six. That means he's had 49 heavyweight fights where he hasn't been down.
- In his first 22 fights, most of which he won by early KOs, he was never down, not once.
- In the six fights where he's been down, two were because of gassing, not because of punches to a delicate chin (Brewster I and Purrity).
- In the Pannell fight, the knockdown on the first round was just a flash knockdown - Wlad wasn't hurt, and proceed to KO his opponent in round 2. The knockdown in the Williamson fight was also a flash knockdown, Wlad wasn't hurt at all - that one could have been ruled a slip.
That leaves two fights. In the Peter fight, there was only one legitmate knockdown, where he was hurt a bit, but not seriously. The other two "knockdowns" were 1) from a rabbit punch, and 2) from a combination push/rabbit punch.
And there's of course the Sanders fight, where Wlad was badly hurt by a head butt, and then by punches.
Really, in 55 fights, that's the only ONE where Wlad was badly hurt or stopped by being hit: the Sanders fight.
He isn't iron-chinned like his brother, but contrary to what some people say, Wlad has a good chin!

He does not have a good chin. He has a bad one. He just has good offensive and defensive skills to not be caught. He also has the height to not be caught either.
