Harder left hooker than Tua/Tyson and a bigger right hand than Lennox Lewis

If Wlad had his brother's chin, we would be the GOAT. But nobody is perfect. Vitali on the other hand had glass body.

 

Wlad lacked close range offense. Lewis with a granite chin would be a better fighter than Wladimir with a granite chin and would beat him

 

Hmm, Chambers never went down in almost 50 fights except being one-shot knocked out cold by Wlad. Rahman was knocked out numerous times and the KO he got from Lewis was beautiful and brutal, but nowhere near as devastating/cold as Wlad's KO of Chambers.

How about Wlad knocking out Pulev in an absolutely brutal fashion by a left hook? Or Calvin Brock with his right? Or taking out huge guys like Jefferson and Austin (both are far bigger than Ruddock and Rahman) in devastating fashion? Or Paea Wolfgramm?

 

Wladimir also had stamina issues he lost fights to Puritty, Brewster, by punching himself out those fights weren't chin issues.

Even with a good chin if Wladimir was really tested in a back forth fight vs a top upper echelon fighter his stamina could let him down again.

Wladimir was a master at controlling a fight but if you disrupted that control cracks would start to appear.

 

would what? they can't fight more than 6 rounds before they get way slow and vulnerable. smaller guys from back in the day take em into the later rounds and beat them like red headed stepkids.
