Vitali Klitschko's chin.

Vitali's chin isn't as hard as Dino's head.

 

The Hide fight always makes me ****. Hide was the bookies favourite and got knocked out by a punch that didn't even connect. Glass heart as soon as he felt Vitali's power.

 

Put it this way. When vitali fight, if you are a fan, you won't be nervous that a single punch is gonna knock him out. Quiet similar with Tyson, although with Tyson you can discourage him and beat him mentally and then knock him out with accumulation.
The same can't be said about Lewis, wlad, wilder or Joshua.

 

Who was his best comp?

Look at Wilder's record. Who on there is worth talking about?

 

Not even the best chin of his era.

Povetkin
Lamon Brewster
Chris Byrd
Valeuv
Vitali

He just cracks the top 5. Of his era.

 

Not even NASA has a shell harder than Dino's noggin.

 

Povetkin was floored three times by Wlad.

Brewster was floored by Wlad, and Ko'd cold by Helenius.

Byrd Ko'd by Ibeabuchi, and Wlad. And by a light heavyweight.

Valuev didn't fight many punchers, but Haye, who barely fought finally decided to throw a punch in the last round and it wobbled Valuev. Valuev also pulled out of an opportunity to meet Vitali.

I'm not saying you didn't pick durable guys, but as I showed you they all showed less punch resistance than Vitali, and in many cases did not fight as many punchers!

Pick another era. School is still in session for you.

 

Once from a punch. The other two kd's were from throw downs. The shot that Povetkin got up from and kept coming forward off , was the same left hook that put giant Pulev to sleep. It didn't phase Povetkin one bit.
He took an ungodly about of punishment in that fight and not just from punches. Head locks , back breakers , choke holds .. you name it. Wlad basically used him as a picnic table. Most guys would have been carried out the ring after 6 rounds of that , but Povetkin was still fighting on up until the final bell.
He was assaulted more in that fight than Vitali was in his whole career.

Then you have the Huck fight. Got battered from pillar to post while he was completely gassed out and never went down once.
Took huge shots off prime Chagaev and barely flinched.
Fought Firtha with one arm. Go watch it. He literally won the latter half of the fight with one arm. Vitali would have quit in that situation.
Povetkin was tougher and had a far sturdier chin than Vitali. Its undeniable and the evidence is all there to prove it.

Its becoming fairly obvious you have very little to no knowledge on what you're talking about.

Before he knocked Wlad out , Brewster shipped shots off him that have laid guys out cold. Wlad was detonating bombs off Brewster's head and couldn't come close to putting him away. It turned out that Brewsters chin was harder than Wlads fist.

Go watch Brewster vs Liakhovich and witness what an iron chin really looks like.

Go watch Brewster vs Meehan round 8. In that round alone , Brewster took more clean hits than Vitali did in his entire career. He went back to his corner with his jaw broken yet still came back and fought till the end. That whole fight was a war and Brewsters jaw stood up to an unmerciful amount of clean punches.
To say Vitali has shown a better chin than Brewster only proves that ydksab.

Byrd took Wlads power punches for 12 rounds and he wasn't even a HW. I doubt Lewis could have taken some of those right hands. Vitali certainly never withstood an assault of power punches like that and don't say Lewis because he was throwing slow , sloppy punches.
Wlad threw with speed and velocity back then and the same shots polaxed his next opponent Jeffereson in two rounds.
Monster puncher Tua threw power punches into Byrd against the ropes and couldn't even drop him , let alone put him away.
His chin stood up to shots from big hitters Golota , Williamson and MaCline... MaCline flattened Peter 3 times , he couldn't drop Byrd once.
And didn't Vitali avoid a fight with MaCline.? Yeah he did , just like he avoided fights with Rahman and Tua as well.

Just like Vitali never fought many punchers but at least he fought Haye in his last ever fight. If I remember correctly , Vitali fought Charr instead of Haye.
Both those guys have never seen their chins tested with any sustained beating.

The mystique of Vitali's chin comes from a fight in which he fell apart at the seams from an uppercut and a few right hands. Lewis didn't bring it to him any harder than he did with the west of his opponents. Vitali just reacted worse , especially when compared to Mercer , Holyfield and Mavrović.

You sound like a guy who only watches Klitschko fights and make the mistake of assuming others have no knowledge of the division.
Vitali never being down is your only argument but that holds no water since all the toughest chinned fighters in history have been down and OUT.
Outside Lewis , Vitali was never down or beaten up , because he never fought anybody. Its not a coincidence that the best guy he fought made a soup sandwich out of him in only 6 rounds.

vitali had a good chin. He had to have one for his combative style to succeed.

 

vitali would laugh at wilder and ask for the left too

he would say something like -" you gonna harrass me, Windmill? go on harrass me!" or whatever foreign people say in american movies.

 

I'd put Dominick Guinn ahead of everyone in terms of
chin in this era. ****ing stone chin.

But as far as the question, Vitali's chin is proven iron.

 

All I can see is a slip vs Sanders that wasn't given as a knock down anyway. Teak tough by any definition.

 

that definition is to be accurate, teak tough against 38 year old retired failed contender. to be fair.

its the claim that his chin was fine against the retired version of the guy who couldnt get a title shot when prime.


just being accurate.
