sanders isall wrong for wladdy. little klitchbro gets koed again.

Haven't you heard? He'd beat Muhammad Ali now... I just read it.

Yeah I agree with that.

Sanders would have easily knocked out Ali, perhaps in the first round of course.

And the overwhelming favourite for a second encounter would be Wladimir Klitschko of course.

Pulev has never been knocked down as an amateur or pro, he has an iron chin.

Oh really?

The Wlad that lost to Sanders could beat todays Wlad.

that was an off balance shot to be fair. he didn't look dazed at all. I still thought pulev had a better chin than what he showed against wlad. dunno if wlad is hitting harder in his older years or pulev's chin isn't what I thought it was but he got hurt every time he got touched by wlad. I really thought hed last till the late rounds but wlad proved me wrong

Wladimir is possibly the hardest puncher in history of relevance to elite level boxing.

Pulev's chin is of iron but not many can take shots like that and not go down unless you are Marius Wach.

wlads left hook is as powerful as any punch in history imo. there's been fighters that have taken his right hand but how many fighters have you seen stay up from a wlad hook? its a damn shame he doesn't throw it often becuz its definitely his out punch

That straight right has put many boxers to sleep as well. Yeah sure many boxers have taken it but have a look at the guys he is hitting with it.

As the punches in HW boxing get harder, so do the chins.

Povetkin and Wach etc took many of them and survived but I credit that to a chin of iron.

I've never seen a better right hand in absolute terms.

44 times in 4 and a half rounds seems excessive to me. 180 times against povetkin seems excessive to me. henry akwindade cries himself to sleep because he missed out on the henry akwindade era of dominance.

using a shoulder roll and movement are legal. the only difference is what wlad does is illegal. if there was a guy that only threw low blows would you be ok with that? he's just utilizing his strengths after all. he's really good at punching people in the balls it's no different.

Ahahah, funny thing is that Akwindande vs Lewis was not nearly as bad as many Klitschko fights, it surely isn't comparable to Wlad vs Povketin.

Akwindade clinched because he looked dazed and in deep waters against Lewis, basically he gave the impression to be surviving.

Wlad doesn't clinch to recover or to slow down the pace when the pressure is up, he systematically clinches and leans on his opponents to wear them down, which , surprise for Wlad's fans, is illegal. Clinching is tolerated if you are hurt, or under heavy fire, but it's not supposed to be part of your offense.

As for Wlad vs Sanders, I believe any fighter capable of getting on the inside or at least stay in trading range has a good chance against Wlad.

It seems to me it is not much of a chin problem, the Ukrainian seems to fold when things don't go his way and he is not allowed to fight at his pace.

In slow paced fights he can take a decent shot, but if the pressure is up, he just freezes.
