    I like Klitschko but his chin is suspect.

      Ross Puritty is a mountain of muscle, 250lbs and outweighed Klitschko. **** boxer, big puncher. And Lamon Brewster was a great boxer and great puncher and had relentless heart and pressure.

      But none of that is even relevant.

      Puritty and Brewster never WON by exposing Wladimir's chin whatsoever.

      Wladimir gassed out against Puritty because he was inexperienced (20 fights but he wasted every opponent in the early rounds and had never been in the later rounds ever before, whereas Puritty was a veteran boxer. Moreover Puritty received a 1-sided bashing and only survived because of an iron chin.

      Wladimir collapsed against Brewster because he was suffering from a hyperglycaemic shock which nearly seen him in a coma.

      Your points are not even relevant at all and betray you have no idea what you are even talking about.

        he was stopped primarily from fatigue in those fights. you could have tapped him on the shoulder and he would have fallen down. corrie sanders is the only guy to flat out starch him

          Agreed.

          Corrie got him good.

            It's utterly ******ed to think that the HW champion of the world with the most 200+ fights in history (66 and counting) along the FEWEST losses and the heftiest average opponents (235-240lbs on average) can POSSIBLY have a weak chin.

            How this is even a continued issue these days is unbelievable!

            Look at the head on the guy for Christ sake!

            And if he has been hurt, dropped at times, it should come as NO SURPRISE! Look at the guys he has to bloody fight by comparison with the "school children" of past eras!
            Spot on. Wlads chin is many orders of magnitude greater than previous champs, he's fighting the hardest hitting men out.

              I'd say it was average, neither good or bad, its better than its made out to be.

                pending on his stamina its pretty solid I'd say. not tested often and has shown bad signs but he's recovered well from them and not let it be a repeat issue

                  It has to be solid considering he's a heavyweight and has only been KOed 3 times

                  In a huge amount of fights. Not amazing for a heavyweight but i'd still rate it like a 6/10

                    Nobody has actutally KO'd him, just tko, and if it wasn't for Sanders nobody would question his chin as he gassed out vs Brewster and Purrity. Peter 1 you saw a guy very low on confidence going down just to conserve himself.

                      Not sure vs peters whether it was more of his lack of stamina than chin

                      Now his conditioning has become legendary and he hasn't been hurt but he hardly gets hit
