    you are a delusional hater, it's you who needs to learn the sport. Rahman has been brutally ko'd several times in his career, not wlad... wlads chin is much better than rahmans

    Wlad gets hit less cleanly because he is a better fighter with a better defense.

    I don't think Wlad would stupidly stick his arms out so Lewis could nearly decapitate him (although I do pick Lewis to stop him).

    Wlad would probably stop Maskaev, he is unlikely to get to the point where he is tired and hurt and gets hit with a perfect shot that sends him out of the ring.

    It is kind of difficult to compare chins when you take into account defense and the quality of the fighters.

    Primo Carnera had a chin that was so soft - as per his own promoter's description - if he was lightly hit by a fighter 100 lbs lighter than him he'd be sent to the deck every time.

    Wow, you really have a thing for Patterson, don't you. Look, he may be your hero, but when stacking him up with champs, by any measure, his chin comes at the very bottom. KO's comparable with any champ, but couple that with all the knockdown's he suffered, and its not even a debate.
