    So no little man had a good chin? Dempsey didn't have a good chin? Marciano didn't have a good chin? Chuvalo?

    Those are the guys at heavyweight who had the best chins. It certainly isn't Wlad lmfao.

    Nobody's talking about Amir Khan in a pie-eating contest though. A more apt comparison would be Amir Khan compared to a much bigger fighter know for having a questionable chin, like Wlad. Does anyone really doubt that Wlad could take punches from a 190-lb opponent better than Khan could?

    George Foreman was not a super heavyweight lmao.

    Holyfield wasn't beat up by any super heavies he always put up a good fight. Over 3 Bowe fights he was stopped once, won 1, and gave a hell of a fight for another. That is extremely inconsistent and weakens your argument if you are trying to use that as evidence.

    Any halfway smart fighter would fight Wlad differently from Khan. Line Khan and Wlad up then hit both of them with a Joe Frazier left hooks while their eyes are closed and I guarantee you both are going to be knocked out. Let me guess, "one would be more knocked out than the other"?

    Not familiar with the quote but yes, if a welterweight who knew how to punch suckerpunched a heavyweight in the right spot, he could very well knock him out (and at the least break his jaw). It would be much easier for that welterweight to knock out another welterweight though. Not sure what this has to do with anything.

    The best chins in the heavyweight division history are "smaller" guys.

    He wasn't saying sucker punched he was saying in a fight. Don't try to change the meaning of the quote.

    Irrelevant. Why conjure up such an extreme scenario to make your point instead of answering my question?

    How am I trying to change the meaning of a quote I haven't seen when you haven't even provided the context??

    Would the ko punch that Breidis Prescott landed on Amir Khan have knocked out Wlad or Michael Grant?

    That is the only way to equally test it because no fighter will fight the same fight against Khan as they would Wlad.

    Chuvalo, Marciano, and Dempsey had better chins than any other heavies. Vitali is the only one I can think of that could be mentioned up their. Ali had a great chin also. Can't think of one super heavy that had a better chin than those guys...can you?
