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
    Doesn't really matter if he was hurt, he was still knocked down by a journeyman.

    Wlad is the only hard puncher he's fought really, so it's hard to say if he's got a good chin. What we do know is that Wlad punches extremely hard. It takes a lot of power to put a 250 man with Pulevs frame out with one shot.

      Almost every single boxer in the HW division today is a hard puncher.

      The average boxer today weighs nearly 230lbs.

      Basically the HW division today consists of an era full of George Foremans

      That is WHY it is no shame to occasionally be caught and dropped by a journeyman today.

      In the past, when champs and top contenders fought lesser opposition, they got hit lots. But it didn't matter because the punches were bearable.

      Today they are not bearable. That is why todays HW's like WK and Pulev fight more tentatively.

      Watch Stivene vs Manswell as well, exactly the same. A single punch can end it. Look how careful they are.

      This is a no brainer! As usual!

      Todays journeymen are more dangerous than yesterdays champs!
