    Bruno was such a good guy but you would be waiting for him to get lamped and it was basically like someone turned him off. He was an absolute sitting duck then.

    I always remember Lewis getting knocked out by Rahman and I watched that and thought is it even possible to hit someone harder. Then Lewis hit him harder in the rematch, lol.
    Bruno suffered k.o's mainly because of his stamina issue after 6 rnds ,only one guy ever actually k.od him before stamina was an issue and that was Mike Tyson 2x .

    The punch you dont expect is usually the one that puts you out ,i think that was the case in both Lewis k.o 's ,i did see him get stunned a few times to Briggs, Grant ,Tucker ,not sure if its actual chins than moreso the type of fighter and preperation you take for a specific fight that will effect the odds more of someone getting knocked out .

        I suggest you watch the Haye FULL fight .

        Wilders chin isnt even proven yet against TRUE proven power punchers . Wlad has fought Peter , Haye , Povetkin and even ped Wach nailed Wad with a right from hell.
        You cant actually put Wlad ,Haye has buckled Wilder with head gear on . Theres a few Past champions who would not take the shots Wlad has .

              more importantly he was only proper KO'd by two men, liston and johansson. both of whom were massive punchers. ali stopped him twice too but ali didnt turn his lights out, floyd was just beat down to the point he had nothing left.

              getting KO'd by liston and johansson doesnt make you chinny as far as im concerned.


              patterson went down around 20 times in his career. maybe more. dropped by smaller guys and lesser punchers than liston and johannson, too. his chin was not good.


              it's true that getting knocked out by liston and johannson doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad chin, however, you need to consider the nature of the knockouts. patterson was down seven times against johansson in one round. liston stopped him in the first round twice! the guy didn't have a good chin and you need to stop making excuses for it.

                  let's also keep in mind that johansson was 6' and 195-200 himself, certainly no giant HW. only had around 15 lbs on patterson, which sounds like a lot in a boxing match, but at HW where everybody can hurt each other it's just not that big of a difference. and FFS the guy was HW champion of the world and we need to judge him as a HW, not give him some kind of pass becuase he was small. marciano was a small HW with a great chin. does that mean hes' got the best chin ever becuse he was small? nope, just makes him another HW with a great chin.

                    There's definitely going to be quite a few Wlad fans on the edge of their seats with anxiety when he gets in there with Joshua.
