Vitali Klitschko's chin is ovarated.

Not by a punch...

He hasn't.

 

how? they cant manage round 6 on the gas they have.

just because a retired gassing 38 year old nobody Sanderscan cause havoc to the K bros, that doesn't mean that this old nobody can beat all yesteryears golden age fighters.... it means, and only means with surety this sole fact - that an old nobody can cause havoc to only the K bros.


if being a fatboy would have been an advantage in the golden age, then buster mathis would have ruled the golden age with ko stoppages of ali frazier foreman. NO it didn't happen.

so please cut the crap on this gassing fatboy superiority theory.

 

FFS who did Sam Peters actually KO? and who did Arreola ever beat?



Nobody of note

 

He had a really good chin. I guess you could say an iron chin.

I just don't think he was hit often enough by big punches to draw the conclusion that it's among the best in history. That uppercut by Lewis was sick, but it's also the sound the punch makes when it connects that influences people.
Holyfield took that exact same uppercut in the 9th against Lewis but nobody talks about that, because it didn't have that 'crack' to it.

Sanders connected with a hard left hook that Vitali clearly felt, and had him backpeddling and borderline running to buy time to clear his head.

Other than those two times, I don't recall a banger landing clean and hard against him. Briggs hit him flush with a so-so right hand late in their fight, but it wasn't a full-blooded power shot.

His never being down is a feather in his cap, but it has as much to do with his awkward style, physical dimensions and overall skill as it has to do with his chin.

He never took a sustained beating of any kind, and never took even two or three hard shots in succession. Chuvalo, Mercer, McCall, Cobb all did and more.
There is just not enough to go on to suggest that his chin is in that class.

 

To me Vitalis chin is untested more than anything else.

And Corrie Sanders dropped him in the first round. And no Corrie Sanders wouldnt drop anybody in the first, because he didnt.

 

Yeah, untested is a good word. Tested to a point, but not thoroughly tested.

 

Yes, tested to a point.

Hes definitely above glass jawed. Id say his chin is good.

To be pronounced great it has to be tested, like Alis and Holyfields were.

Great isnt something which is just thrown out there, you have to earn it.

 

I've never watched kickboxing. Who are some good fighters? Who are the best kickboxers in the world?

 

wow yeah just watched this fight...at the end vitali and team celebrating beating a 38 year old who only stopped because he was gassed out halfway and still dropped vits.


that's like celebrating a win over 40something version of chuck wepner.

 

This often repeated myth from the idiot attaboi that he was dropped by a left hook from Sanders is nonsense. The punch in question didn't even land, Vitali blocked it and it went flying past the right side if his head. It never made contact with his head.
He then got shoved off balance by Sander's right arm. This is why the ref ruled no knockdown.

 

Semmy schilt is the greatest HW kick boxer who ever lived.
