Wladimir Klitschko has a good chin

[NakiFan]

His chin is ok, i think people always jump on ko losses etc a bit too fast.

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!

In those 55 fights how many times has he taken hard punches and not been stopped?

He's got a bad chin. Its his height that saves hm most of time, as punching upwards tends to take some of the power off.

Can't wait for a HAYEmaker to land on his bonce!!!

Eh...No. He hides behind his jab, a very good one I might add but there's a reason he fights like a mouse. He very rarely gets hit due to a combination of his nimbleness (for a big guy), size advantages and a seriously consistent jab. His chin is 3/10, and that's being generous and he has serious psychological issues when he gets tagged hard.

I bet this thread will change a lot of minds..................

IMO he hasn't got a good chin at all and i also think he lacks confidence in the ring at times aswell. But i think its too his credit weak division or not that he has got a below average chin, and he's managed to become the number 1 Heavyweight.

I actually think that the glass chin myth helps Klitschko. Because his opponents/trainers are maybe so fixated on this issue that they don't try anything new.

[The Hammer]

In those 55 fights how many times has he taken hard punches and not been stopped?

Many, many times. Jefferson was a big puncher, but Wlad walked right through him.

[IMDAZED]

Even Wladimir himself would disagree with the threadstarter.

[P4P GOAT]

many, many times. Jefferson was a big puncher, but wlad walked right through him.

didn't he get knocked down in that fight ?
