    I remember reading that do to his massively muscled body, Primo Carnera could take body shots all night long. Now, when you hit him on the chin...

    Yeah I agree. While definitely not as bad as most say it was, Wlad’s chin was far from his brothers. I think a lot of it boils down to all the strength and conditioning work Wlad did. Especially with his core.

    Ali took too much body punches until he got the Parkinson.
