No, I mean who boxes when they are involved in a street fight. It's more of non stop offensive punching with a little wrestling...just look hatton v tszyu for street fight!

ur talkin about peters chin like it was sumthing special, he has a good chin, nowhere near a very good 1 as u saw in the 12th, he was about to get ***ed up right there if klitschko threw 1 more hard punch but he was 2 scared. he didnt take dat many hard punches from wlad, u can see dat the right straights wlad was throwing in the fight werent his hardest by a long shot, he was sacred to throw his hardest in case of a counter, and the left hook dat landed in the end of the fight, dat wasnt a clean shot, watch the fight and pause it on impact of punch, the punch lands on peters chin and shoulder, half half, imagine it was clean, peter wudve been OUT

u can see dat the right straights wlad was throwing in the fight werent his hardest by a long shot

probably... Wlad was not flat-footed... and Manny told him not to worry about the power

[Kid Achilles]

No he definitely landed some very good straight right hands that snapped Peter's head back yet didn't stop him from coming forward. Not all of them were killer shots but he did did land some beauties that would have at least staggered/ knocked down almost any other heavyweight.

Peter has a great, great chin.

how can u say dat, if a heavy cant take a shot like dat, why is he fighting, srsly, look at tyson, how much he got hit by ruddock and he didnt stagger. ruddocks power is alot more then wladamirs. achiles, arent u the one sayin a heavyweight can take a punch dats alot stronger then a middleweight? doesnt dat mean heavyweights shud be able to take the same amount of punches as a middleweight seeing dat there chin is made for there punch force?

I think Larrry Merchant used to the right expression 'yeah Jim, but its like he's chopping at a mohagany tree.'

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about with the middleweights. Peter abosorbed some good shots from a puncher who, according to Tommie Shields, has heavier hands than Tyson and IMO hit with much better technique and perhaps even power than Ruddock. Maybe in your own little world Wladimir Klitschko is not one of the best punchers alive today but it seems that the rest of the world is on a different page than you. When someone takes a beautiful right hand (couldn't be much straighter actually) thrown from a guy like Wlad, and keeps coming, well I'd say probably that's an exceptional chin. When he does it all ****ing night I'd say without a doubt that's a concrete chin.

I also don't see how mentioning Tyson as some kind of standard makes any sense as it's well accepted here and everywhere else that Tyson had a very, very good chin himself.

Also Tyson didn't stagger? I remember him doing just that, and I remember him saying in interviews that he was in awe of Ruddock's power and he had never felt anything like it before.

just for the record, in a post fight interview, manny said that wlad never threw a full power punch because in case he missed manny didn't want wlad to be off balance and caught with one of peter's wild swings.

so peter's chin didn't get the full test.
