    In his next 19 fights up to his Brewster loss,is was much the same with only one going the distance. In his next 15 or so fights he either KO'd or stopped all but 3 of his 15 fights, most by KO, also some of the TKOs could have been classified as KOs if the ref hadn't interceded before the 10 count.
    Sorry, this is how it went down.

    Pre fight "Haye is a glass jawed bum, Wlad will knock him out with a jab"

    Post fight "Blah blah blah"

    You can't have it both ways, your boy won, but either David has a better chin than you were all ranting and raving about or Wlad has less power, its one or the other

        At no point in the fight did Haye take a true 100% solid punch. If he were to take the punch that Calvin Brock took, I'm sure he, along with most boxers, would go down.

        If Haye's chin was SO bad that he couldn't even take a Lennox Lewis jab, then he never would have made it to the championship level period. Haye lasting 12 rounds isn't a testament to the punching power of Wladimir. It has more to do with Wladimir not wanting to take any risks, and Haye avoiding engagement at all costs.

          Before the fight all the klitschko fans were saying such things AND I QUOTE "Haye has the most hillarious glass jaw in boxing history, Wlad will brutally KO him with a jab"

          Didnt happen

            Emmanuel Steward said he is the biggest punching heavyweight he's ever seen so therefore hits harder than Lewis.

              Its very hard to knock somebody out that is in full survival mode.

              Yes Wladimir does have real K.O power in not just his right but his left too. Quite clearly he is one of the hardest hitters in HW boxing history.

                Manny Steward say BS like that all the time about dudes he's CURRENTLY training. Then when he stops training them he hypes up the next dude he trains. You take anything Steward says with a huge dose of dalt.

                  I don't like the way he fights, but he undoubtedly has power in both hands. If he weren't so afraid to get hit and went into seek and destroy mode he would be a straight up beast.
