U know what cracks me up about Wlad

sorry,im still trying to work out the 'invisible' bit.:huh
surely the russians would be better using that for missiles and stuff.

 

Exactly. Rahman's chin is MUCH worse than Wlad's. Wlad actually got up in those fights. With Rahman, it was one - and done. :nod

 

Invincible...NO!!

but most say that he doesnt have a strong opponent to make him look good :good

 

If Wladimir had gotten hit with the same right hands Oleg and Lennox caught Rahman with he would have gotten knocked out as well. With his height and his defense, Wlad is very difficult to hit flush.

 

Punches usually are location, or the ones you do not see that KO you.
Example is Ali= Knocked down, and NEARLY out by a 180 LB Cooper, yet after that fight, Ali was able to take shots harder than that from Frazier...Norton...Foreman, and he withstood all those, except Fraziers' 1971 15th rounder, but Ali got up.

 

people always hate on the best

 

Wlads chin is very weak, you dont get knocked down 12 times and TKOd 3 times having a average chin. Wlad has learned how to better deal with his glass jaw by clinching and throwing great jabs to fend other fighters off.

The last fighter to test the chin was Peter, and Wlad was hurt and down a couple times, if manny wasnt with Wlad then he probably would of been TKOd that night. The fighters that have been fighting Wlad lately have not been able to really test Wlads chin, and the last time he was really hit solid was over 2 years ago.

Time will tell wether Wlads chin is just collecting dust or by some miracle it has improved, I just hope we see a heavywieght has the ability to get on the inside and test it out.

 

There's no proof for that whatsoever. Fact is, when Wlad's been knocked to the canvas, he's gotten UP. His stoppage losses were TKOs, not BRUTAL KOs like Rahman suffered.

The key in evaluating chins is the QUALITY of the KO, not the QUANTITY. Both Rahman and Wlad have been stopped three times, but Rahman was knocked the F*CK out, Wlad wasn't. There should be NO question that Rahman's chin is MUCH worse than Wlad's.:-(

 

Too many have already made fun of the invisible Wlad typo :rofl

Agree. But unless Rahman's chin is paper mache, then Wlad has close to an average chin - which by definition is what most fighters have.

Why do so many (this is not directed at you) seem to believe that a fighter either has a good to great chin or a "glass jaw". Outside the hate factor :-(, it's as if many don't think there is a middle ground :think

 

Wlad got cuaght with a much hard punch than either of those when he wa fighting Sam Peter, and shook it off. Peter hit him with the same left hook he hit Sykes, Williams and others with that resulted in KDs and KOs, but Wlad did not go down from it.

 

Those guys are idiots. :yep

 

If there was 3 more Wlads, all that would happen is they'd keep fighting bums and never eachother.

Wlad needs to be fighting the other belt champions, and only them.

 

Wladdy is the best heavyweight by default. He is only good because everybody else in the division isnt any good. This will hurt his legacy when he retires.

 

At 6'6" and 240 pounds, Wlad is quite easy to see. He would stand out in a crowd of people. Even his staunchest supporters wouldn't claim that he is invisible
