Vladimir with Vitali's chin; What would his record be? I honestly think Vladimir would be nearly unbeatable and be undefeated. Vlad still is a very good fighter, with an exceptional jab, defense, skills, handspeed, size, one punch power. He just has a chin that unfortunatly let him down a few times.
Two of Vlad's losses are amazingly similar to Lennox Lewis's shocking defeats. Lewis L KO 5 Rahman Lewis L TKO 2 Mccall Klitschko L TKO 5 Brewster Klitschko L TKO 2 Sanders
I think Wlad suffered more from nerve problems in his earlier fights and was too tense, his chin is still questioned but I don't think it's china.
Wlad wouldve still lost those fights ... He got rocked by a clean straight left from Corey Sanders and he wouldve still got hurt with good chin. The other fights that he lost was because he wore himself out and was exausted ... (Brewster & Purity) He redeemed himself against Brewster ... and doesn't have a chance to against Purity or Sanders. I still say he has 3 KO losses despite whatever you guys think about his chin. Anyone that gets hit flush with a HW power shot is out of there ... or has the chance to be out of there. I think that Wlad made some crucial mistakes during those fights and paid for them. His chin shouldn't be in question --
the Brewster loss had more to do with his health and conditioning than his chin. Purrity i didn't see Sanders would've still hurt him he is a massive puncher and was landing flush.
Vitali took a great punch from Sanders early, shook it off and proceded to give Sanders the beating of a life time.
Vitali has a mean streak. Vlad can be too nice. Vitali would of slapped Haye ( and that could knock him out). I know Vitali wouldn't listen to that ****.
There's no doubt that if you could take the best attributes of each and roll them into one, you would get an ATG. But life doesn't work like that.
probably 1 less loss against sanders. sanders was known to gas badly. but wlad hit purrity and brewster with everything except the kitchen sink and still couldn't get rid of them. He just punched himself out in those 2 losses. i doubt a granite chin would have prevented those losses. experience and intelligence would have been more effective in those situations.
Not only that, remember that HUUUGGE uppercut by Lewis in their fight :yikes It just seemed that it was nothing :bbb
In the Purrity he was just outlasted, Purrity was able to take all he had to offer till Wladimir had nothing and was DEAD tired so Purrity took over and finished him off.
Against Purrity he ran out of gas if he had a god chin it wouldn't have change much. Sanders has very fast punches and Klitschko wasn't able to see seem coming I'm not sure If a Wlad with Vitali's Chin would beat the Sanders of 2003 Sanders only weakness was his stamina. Sanders was close to Ko Vitali an Rahman too. Against Brewster there was something wrong with Klitschko i still believe Klitschko was ill or something like that he looked gassed after the second round. I'm not sure what would happend if Wlad had Vitali's chin But with Vitali's chin Wladimir would fight more offensiv against Brewster.
