Can anyone knock out Wlad now?

could he be knocked out? sure. but it ain't ****ing likely

 

Helenius will shatter the glass chin more impressively than Sanders did. If they will ever give him the chance to do it.

 

Based on his age, Wlad will start to deteriorate at some point, make more mistakes and possibly also get injured in fights. That's when he'll be more vulnerable.

That point may well be off another 2-4 years though.

 

I can't see it with the current crop of contenders. Wlad is just too defensively sound and hard to hit clean.

 

Robert will have to catch him at the right time, though. Right now, Robert would be TKO'd.

 

Everyone seems to agree he won't be knocked out, but how about being legitimately knocked down again?

 

Sanders will get outboxed from a distance every round before Wlad's superior power knocks helenius out with 1 punch. Helenius is a dangerous fighter though, I would like to see that fight.

 

That sure might've happened, but Sanders hit the home run pretty soon and easily, anyways :yep

 

Could he get knocked out again? Sure. Anyone could if hit cleanly enough.

Is it likely he gets knocked out again? No, not really. He's aware of his weaknesses and has developed a style that almost totally neutralises it. Of the current guys fighting, the most likely to knock him down is probably someone fearless and aggressive like Pulev, though he's far from the hardest puncher in the division.

 

Seth Mitchell would, Chris Arreola could.

 

The guys that ko'd Wlad all had serious power, chins and near limitless
resolve. Point to these guys in the current top 10. Despite Wlads size advantage
he's still probably the quickest guy, best defense, and 1 or 2 in the power dept.
Not a Wlad fan but got enough respect of him to realize he probably doesn't
get beat by anyone in this crop.

 

Yeah, both of those dudes could. Eddie Chambers could, if he landed often enough. Question is, how likely is it that both of the above would land with enough "flushness" and consistency to be able to TKO Wlad?
