Better Punch Resistance & Durability: John Ruiz OR Wladimir Klitschko?

[BoxCleva]

Between John Ruiz and Wladimir Klitschko, who do you believe possesses the better punch resistance and durability?

Is this a serious question? Ruiz has been knocked down hard by Toney (!) for Christ's sake. Also down twice against Golota. Ruiz has a very soft chin.

And Wlad has been knocked out by a fat golfer Corrie sanders aswell as ross purrity and lamon brewster.

Ruiz has by far a better chin than Wlad.

2 of those 3 losses were primarily due to fatigue. sanders is really the only guy to starch wlad and he had that sneaky power from the southpaw stance that was very dangerous early on

Fatigue had a bigger role in his losses with Purrity and Brewster...although you can easily argue they forced the fatigue and countered up with shots to finish him. But the point being, when you are tired it becomes easier to knock you out. Sanders was just a blow-out. But as far as Sanders being fat and all that...power is still there; especially early.

Wlad has heart though...no denying that. He could have quit in those fights and he didn't...especially the Brewster and Sanders fight.

Wlad's chin isnt very good at all. The punch that floored Ruiz in the first would have had Wlad doing his bambi impression. Wlad always looks funny as f.uck when he gets stopped.

Wlad gets knocked down by a right-hand at 2:50



I'm not sure he is vulnerable like that now though because of the way Emanuel has him set.
