    I didn't hear or read anything about the Klitschko's admitting to a lack of "an iron chin". However
    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.

      WOW Man! I've never seen anyone on here that thinks like I do about Wlad. I don't even bother trying to defend him anymore. Everyone has made up they're minds that Wlad has no chin and it's BS. I'm not saying he's George Chuvalo but he can clearly take a decent shot. I seriously think it was more of a confidence issue with Wlad more so that a weak chin.

        First of all roy in his prime wouldn't be able to do this,these men are not bum a** Ruiz who was the easiest pick with the least respectable title at the time Roy chose to move up,Secondly he does not have the chin to hold up to the attack Vitali and Wlad would put out but being that wlad has a buttery chin then I would say thats a 60%-40% for wlad but against vitali?! 100% vitali.

        Roy is senile,his hype is getting to him to much.
        Please dont tell me you think Roys punching power would be any kind of a factor. Wlad brushes off Roys best shots.

              Yeah but see, it's how the fight ends that matters.

              Seriously? Again, it's how a fight ends that matters. See Moorer-Foreman. You deserve red k for this part of the post. Jesus Christ................. And you want an investigation to cover his failure.

                      I hope ya'll have fun, I'm sure you will. I'd rather watch an ESPN 2 card live though. Neither is much on relevance and Roy's superman image was shattered a long time ago to me.
