      - 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!
      This is humor, remember kids... It's like when Bush presented arguments for an Iraq war. Bottom line is: Just because it makes sense, it doesn't mean it's true :P

          Haha, that's hilarious.

          Bush - "We know two things in this world, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and Wladimir Klitchcko has a good chin"

              I think it's an ok chin with an excellent defense and offense that rarely allows us to see it tested.

                  Wlad's chin is not good. It's not glass like people make it here, but it's not good like you're making it either Tunney. The Sanders fight shows that his chin is not good. The Purity KO was fatigue IMO. And I have no idea what happened in the Brewster fight.

                  But yea, I'd give his chin like a 5.5 out of 10.

                    Your standards are too high.

                      His chin is not that bad.. BUT he has no punch resistance.. He does not know what to do when he gets hit..Well now he does he just clinches.. which he should have done in the Sanders fight..

                      It's almost like he doesn't consider that his opponent is allowed to hit back sometimes.. It almost seems like shock
