Wlad glass chin?

[HarvardBlue]

A glass chin? The man went 11 years without a KD (as far as I can remember), how all of a sudden he's has a glass?

This is one of those backwards way of discrediting Joshua.

Next we'll be hearing Wlad was wheeled into the ring straight from the old folks home.

I think his chin has always been better than people gave him credit for. The losses to Purrity and Brewster were about him gassing, Sanders took a lot of shots to finish him as did Joshua and he got up from big Peter shots and came back to win that fight. I'm not saying he has an iron chin, but he's a tougher guy than people have given him credit for

Hardly, that uppercut in the 11th would have sparked most he's right out.

I agreed.

Also the way Wlad looks really flustered once he gets hit often makes it seem he's a bit more hurt than he might be.

He doesn't have a glass chin at all, but as you say, it's not iron either. Haye is similar, people say he's chinny but he's never actually been iced or anything. His two stoppage losses were stamina and injury problems. Any other time he was dropped, he got back up. He took plenty of good shots in his career like Wlad has.

Some of he comments tonight make me think some people have no idea about heavyweights or are just plain illogical.

These aren't welterweights ffs.

Glass chin? F.uck right off. Wlad got banjo'd multiple times by a powerful 250 pound man. Joshua got it too from a 240 pound puncher.

You can't talk about glass in the heavyweights for me.

Preach....

Haha.

If anything this fight proved he has a very good chin. I don't remember fighters getting up after AJ put them down. Wlad got up every single time. Nothing wrong with his chin and definitely nothing wrong with AJ power.

That's because Joshua was exhausted when he landed those shots and they weren't as clean as he landed on other fighters.

Sometimes I wonder if people even know wtf they're watching.

David Price ...possibly.

But they're still getting bombed out by big men.

He doesn't have an iron chin like say a George Foreman or a Mike Tyson, but not many do. I agree with those that pointed out HW is different. Clean punches often rock people or KO them outright.

True. Easy to say from my couch.
