Honestly, Wlad's chin isn't THAT bad...GOT KO'ed after stamina problems against the two biggest punchers in the division. Took Sam Peter's best, no LEGAL Knockdown's...ImSoFlyyy is that Cassidy in your sig? And you forgot to put 50 Cent and Yayo in there...
Id say Mesi. Dude had a punch and TKOd Devarryl TOS Williams. TOS also was about to TKO/KO Wlad in their match but that shady ref stopped the fight. Who you think wins?
Oh man, I have to disagree TOTALLY with this post.
First of all, DeVarryl was not TKO'd by Mesi, he was KO'd, and his name is Williamson, not Williams.
And I don't see how you can say Williamson was on the way to KO'ing Wlad. The only fighter hurt in the fight was Williamson. Wlad won every round, other than the one with the little flash knockdown, which was simply Wlad off balance. The judges scored it 10-9 only, if I remember right, because Wlad chased Williamson around the ring the rest of the round, much as he did the entire fight.
And I didn't see anything shady about the cut stoppage. It was in Vegas and it was a huge gash in his forehead caused by a butt, leaking blood into his eyes. That is right in line with how they stop fights or not in Vegas. If it's a huge gash that leaks into your vision then they stop it. None of us knows what might have happened, but I don't see any evidence that TOS was going to KO him at all.
Mesi has good power, no doubt, but he doesn't seem to have the chin to match. TOS never hit him clean- that fight was the battle of who landed first when they both started fighting wild. And Mesi was hurt terribly by Jirov, who is not a puncher at HW. Imagine what someone as rangy and with as much power as Wlad would do to him. Wlad would be a tough, tough fight for Mesi to win. I don't see it happening.
There actually was one legal knockdown which was the one in the 10th. But your right, I dont think Wlads chin is as weak as everyone thinks. But this thread is silly, before i said Wlad KO in 3 but could be earlier. Either way Mesi would get destroyed.
TKO/KO splitting hairs. Williamson knocked Wlad down the round before it was stopped. Thats why I think Williamson was about to TKO Wlads ass to retirement. Get it?

Yes, I get it. I just don't agree. Do you remember the knockdown? Wlad was off-balance and did a little half-squat and his knee touched the canvas for less than a second. The epitome of a flash knockdown. From that you think he was about to get stopped? When he got up and chased Willaimson around the rest of the round? Like I said, I just disagree totally.
