    Brewster is in th running for "hardest left hook ever" and he didn't knock Wlad unconscious with it. Three of Wlad's stòppage loses were mostly from exhaustion (more literally getting punched while exhausted). Sanders just kept drilling him from an angle he couldn't defend until the ref had to stop it.

    Didn't you question Carnera's chin from the Baer fight, where he fell 9 times while fighting on a fractured ankle?

    Now you want to take an apologist approach to Klitschko because stamina?

    Old school fighters can fight with pneumonia and it wouldn't matter. Yet there is always some colorful, in depth reason to justify a losing performance for a good modern fighter.

    Double standards.

    No.

    What is "an apologist approach"? How did I "justify a losing performance"?

    Is everything ok, bud? You seem a little high-strung over there...

    brewster-stopped after a round in which he stayed on his feet.
    peter-took several big shots, came back strong every time and won the fight.
    joshua-dominated a round after being dropped, dropped Joshua, and was winning before being stopped on his feet at 42 years of age after. The uppercut he stood up to was monsterous.

    How so?

    Joshua steamrolled him in the fifth round, and ran out of gas so he could not finish him.

    In the 11 round, joshua got that second wind and finished him. Wlad got hit by a right uppercut while trying to clinch, got hurt and in panic mode... Went to the canvas not from actual punches, but from panic mind while joshua was throwing at him

    The point is he went into a panic mode everytime the other guy got to him. He cannot go toe to toe, he crumbles and in panic goes to the canvas while not receiving punches to the chin actually...
    He just went down in panic mode everytime the fight breaks, if he cannot clinch or run by turning his back like in povetkin and Fury fights

    Proof of terrible stamina and when the gasses he has a bad chin.

    No. His durability is very questionable since he was koed by four much less than great fighters. He developed a clutch and hold at all costs style to avoid punishment since he cannot take punishment.

    But he didn't, so you don't have a point.

    Wlad hadn't quite properly integrated Steward's clinch heavy strategy into his repertoire and wasted a ton of energy pushing Brewster around the ring. Throwing 50 power punches a round didn't help either.

    ummm, while Brewster does have power he didn't land much, nor was the finishing shot all that clean. Glass chin is overstating things. He certainly has an average chin at best though

    He lost his legs after taking the uppercut from hell.

    How do you find the motivation to keep this up, after all these years?
