    What if Wladimir......

    What if Wladimir went on to vs someone like Tyson after Castillo, and went on to take some of the biggest shots ever thrown by Tyson without falling, and in the end winning with 9th round stoppage. What would your opinion of his chin be?

    Wladimir needs to rebuild his confidence first and foremost before he can start taking on serious oppoenets. He needs to fight like 10 fights on showtime against non championship caliber fighters, then maybe he can consider fighting somebody of the Caliber of Rahman or Tyson.

    Wladimir Klistchko fights are always entertaining, if he ever learns how to take a punch he can be the best fighter in the heavyweight division, but that probably is not a possiblity. His first comeback fight on showtime after the loss to Brewster was not very encouraging.

      He should hang out in teh Kronk gym all day for like a year just fighting the meanest fighters in there with no headgear and small gloves and learning how to dog fight and get a little toughness in him, that is what he should do.

        He should go spar with Mike Tyson and David Tua everyday and get used to taking their punches, then if he ever can do that, everybody elses punches will seem like nothing to him, even if he gets knocked out like 8 times in the process.

          Wlad doesnt have a weak chin, dude. We all know this. You're basing your idea of that on a ko from one of the hardest hitters in boxing. Sanders would have put a horse down with that shot. And Brewster, well do we really need to rehash that again? Everyone knows Brewster did nothing to contribute to Wlads loss there.

            I asked you people what your opinion on his chin be afterwards, not what he has to do. You totally twisted my topic, with stuff that I didnt ask for.

              I would say what I've always been saying: Tyson is overrated as a puncher.

                Let me say this, then, Enayze:

                IMO, Wlad's chin has never been suspect, so my opinion of it after a hard duel with someone like Tyson would be very much the same as it is now. As far as I can tell, Wlad's chin is no worse than any other heavyweights out there.

                  I would have agreed with you in that statement, except for the fact in his bout after the Brewster loss he was hurt bad by that opponent on showtime, and it was not a very big punch that caused him to be hurt.

                    Tyson is overrated as a puncher to an extent.
