Wladimir Klitschko's chin.

[VG_Addict]

Now that Wlad is retired, how was his chin? Was it really as bad as people say? Sure he was knocked down a lot of times, and stopped 4 times, but in one of his losses, he was exhausted. You don't take punches as well when you're tired.

Average or below average chin, but well above-average heart. Always got up when he was put down - not bad for someone that wasn't 'born' a fighter but was 'made' into one.

This. Anyone at HW with decent power can drop anyone with a perfect shot. I say Wlad had a slightly below average chin, but it wasn't a glass chin. People try to make it seem like he's a heavyweight Amir Khan.

Wlad's heart is always overlooked. He always made an effort to get up, even when he couldn't.

Samuel Peter dropped him numerous times, three or four times I believe, but he couldn't keep him down. If his chin was that bad, Wlad would have been out cold taking shots against a big puncher like Peter

All this weak chin stuff is bull. Decent chin. Look at who he was floored by and was never KO'd cold. Don't forget, these are heavyweights.

I don't think he has a bad chin, it's HW boxing so they can all punch. He just never seem to react well to getting punched if that makes sense? I think he looked more hurt than he actually was. Imo.

Disagree completely. NO HEART. NO DOG IN HIM. Complete opposite of Vitali.
Heart is having half your eye torn open and your screaming at the ref to continue. Not getting knocked out by Lamon Brewster and claiming you were poisoned by his camp ROFL!!!

Wlad had 0 heart, 0 dog in him.
As Roy Jones would say, “he’s like a pitbull that can’t fight off the bottom” that means he looks good when he’s winning, but when stuff gets rough and he’s getting beat on he folds.

1st loss - as a young fighter towel thrown in due to exhaustion, but not really a KO or a Quit, wouldn't really question his heart.

2nd loss - repeatedly knocked down heavily by Sanders but got up each time, how else could he have shown heart?

3rd loss - whatever the reason, he was out of it v Brewster and the final knockdown was even a trip over the refs leg (watch it again) but he still tried getting up, wouldn't call that no heart either

4th loss - I suppose we could question his heart in terms of perhaps fearing the risk of unloading as Fury had him out of his comfort zone, but could argue it as an off night

5th loss - Got up 3 times from heavy knockdowns v current heavyweight killer away from home at age 41, 2 years inactive...this instance it would definitely be ridiculous to question his heart

This.

Wlad absolutely hates to get punched. Of course, everybody does, but some fighters would take one to give one. Wlad wouldn't take one to give two.

Although he got put down quite a few times, he never finished any fight on the floor, never. That says something.

It's not the best lets be honest, he did the dance from a jab V Pulev in the first round with the first landed punch.

It's not David Price levels either though.

His chin is good. Look at the jokers here talking about below average. A few punches from Joshua or any decent heavyweight, and we’d be mopping up your brains from the floor.
