I'll take your word for it.
BUT....and it's a BIG "but", Vitaly gives a very authentic imitation of an iron chinned warrior, and Wladimir has been hit by several heavy punchers without effect.
He has 3 losses, all by stoppage, which are completely misleading.
#1, against Purrity, he was 21 years old, a pro for exactly 2 years and it was his 25th fight. Also, he weighed only 225. The gfight was stopped in, I think, the 11th, by his corner. Until then he'd bounced Purrity from everything except the overhead lighting, and won every round well.
#2, against Corrie Sanders, if you watcg closely, you'll DEFINITELY see that Klitschko was seriously butted as well as hit, simultaneously, several times, causing the KD's. AND....he kept getting up.
#3, The Brewster fight should have been stopped by the ref in rd 4 as Brewster was almost being killed in the ring. Klitschko was hardly hit in the next and last rd. Nothing to warrant this always finely tuned and fit fighter melting down so suddenly and helplessly. The fight should have been called an NC and a huge investigation instituted.
Since then he's been hit more than a little, flush on the chin with no obvious effect. He has a good chin.
