Wlads chin is average for a heavyweight!!!!

[Johnnybur]

Just to make a quick point about wlads chin. He has never truley been counted out in any of his losses. He has never been hurt so bad that he hasnt able to get back up. You cant say that about Lewis or Tyson.

[kenso]

all of his knockdowns besides corrie sanders were due to other reasons besides clean flush punches

lamon brewster - wlad was apparently drugged
sam peter - wlad was tired, and got rabbit punched (IMO only one of the knock downs was even legit)

how ever, we have yet to see wlad take a MONSTER shot and stand up through it. wlads chin is definitely suspect, but i find it remarkable how he manages to end most fights by KO, without getting hit, and without being a runner.

say what you want about wlad, but his supposed weaknesses are directly addressed by his fighting style.

sadly a number fight fans these days find wlad boring. im personally a fan of the klitschkos. like them or not they are the only thing keeping the division even remotely stable. if it werent for them titles would still be regularly changing hands with the likes of ruiz, evander, or worse - rahman.

Well said, its about time someone made a valid post that was actually fact based.

He has taken the count over 10 times. Wladimir's career would've come to an end due to his suspect chin if not for him developing a much more cautious style.

10 times??? He has never been counted out of a fight by a ten count? What are you talking? 8 counts maybe. If you read my original post I said he has never been counted OUT. Meaning he couldnt beat the count.

I meant he has taken the count as in he has been knocked down over 10 times.

Never been counted out but he has been stopped three times and was clearly on his way out in all of them.

Here's a video of Prime undefeated big puncher Samuel Peter landing his money punch MONSTER left hook flush on Wlad's chin. That was the same left hook that brutally KO'd Jeremy Williams.

Wlad took Peter's best punch and was unphased. He ducked the follow up punch and fired back a right hand.

Wlad took Peter's best punch pretty well.

Once again, a nice post that is based on facts. Good job. But for some reason guys like me and you who like the Klitschko Brothers, we are considered "nuthuggers". Isnt that the term they use.
