    Has his chin ever really been tested? Can we conclude it is iron? Has he ever been hurt? I think i remember McCline stunning him but it was hard to tell

    And Rico please no comments from you, your head is that small you could wear a tube sock for a hat

    Tommy Morrison?

    They all have huge hands.

    if anyone can do it, it is going to be vitali - that would be the real test of how good his chin is

    Valouev has a rock solid chin, stronger than rock. He has been hit, but he did not ever blink his eyes.

    Sure he has.

    Monte Barrett threw a wild right hand in round 1 I think it was and wobbled him a little. Bergeron also stunned him once or twice in their fight.

    I think it's a hard task with the reach and height advantage he has. Opponents have to lunge in and reach up to get him, which comprises a lot of power on the punch.

    If anyone is going to put him on the floor, I think it will be a Klitschko

    Correct, he has been stunned a few times. Barrett, Bergeron :)lol:), Bidenko, and Nobles have all stunned him momentarily. His chin is still solid though, it takes the right punch to take him down. I'm sure the K-Bros and Arreola could do it.

    Valuev has been in with some solid punchers who all connected occasionally, but simply did not do any visible damage. If Valuev leans back a little he is out of reach for the smaller HWs or minors the effects of punches.
    In addition Valuev seems not to be prone to cuts.
    IMHO it is impossible to floor him.

    Imagine they teach him how to develop a real killer instinct...
    Valuev is too much a nice guy / fair sportsman IMHO.

    No it wasn't, Valuev is the biggest fraud in boxing ever and NO ONE comes close, this guy gets more gifts than anyone and no one brings it up it's ridiculous and insulting. This guy being a champion is an insult not just to boxing but to humanity and sports in general.

    I wonder if the guy he fought in his 20th professional who was having his first prof fight thought he had a rock chin...maybe

    Put him in with a prime Lennox Lewis and see if you are saying the same thing!
