Why do people call Wlad "weak-chinned" when he's proven otherwise?

Im not saying that Wladimir is god awful or that he will get knocked out by any decent punch that hits him, buts its obvious that when you fight him your strategy is either to drain his stamina or tap his chin.

    his chin is not the worst, but its obvious its a weakness.

    Really? Examples?

          I beg to differ. ANY fighter hit with that left would have been destroyed. Except for Vitali, who somehow was able to withstand it.
          You're reaching, bro.

              Wlad never recovered from that headbutt, which caused a nasty cut, and was not able to defend himself against the second and third knockdowns from the heavy-handed Sanders.

                Excuse me? You asked for examples of when he was hurt by shots. I provided one. Listen, I'm perfectly willing to defend your side of the argument, but not when you post ****** shit like that.

                  Weak Chinned but he's not proven otherwise. The only thing you pro-klitschkos are citing is a few shots from Sam Peter in their second fight. I don't need to explain why that's not impressive.

                  He has however, got a much, much better chin than Harrison, Bonin, Maccarinelli.

                    Actually, you do. Or are you saying that Peter lacks power? Shit, it's about the only quality he does have.

                      I've seen a few clips of Sanders' fight with Rahman, and from what I saw, Rock's defense was good enough and he was evasive enough that Sanders wasn't really able to land the money shot on him.
