    Wladimir Klitschko hasn't took many shots to his head after 2005. Why nobody haven't been able to touch his glass jaw anymore? It takes just one good punch to knock him out, just like Erkan Teper landed than beautiful left hook to Price. That hook would have KO'd Wlad too.

    Its probably combination of his skills, reach, keeping distance, and illegal tactics clinching etc. But Wlad is getting older and slow, so in the future there should be more openings to hit his glass jaw again.

    Because all of his opponents are overweight slops with poor conditioning ? They are only capable of fighting one minute in any round ? Could that be the answer?

    He fought Haye and Povetkin, but either of them weren't able to land clean shot.

    Wlad has never been one punch KO'd, try again. He's got a much better chin, and recovers a lot better than Price.. Not to mention that his defense, and movement are on completely different levels.

    It take more than one good punch to drop Wlad. He'd have probably held on and proceeded to stop Teper if he got hit clean like that.

    But in reality that guy could never land on Klitschko.

    Wlad, unlike most heavyweights, can actually see and read punches thrown at him. He has something called a defense. Look it up.

    Just like Haye, Chagaev, Povetkin, Pulev, Chambers, Byrd or Ibragimov?
    Yeah, try again.

    Wlad makes them look like that, yes. Funny thing is they all look good coming into the fights, until Wlad makes them look very slow and average.

    wlad makes them look like they gass out after 1 minute?

    how? does he steal their lucozade between rounds? how does he make them gass from throwing a few punches.

    how does he reduce the stamina of his opponents to that of laymen?

    Wlad has never been knocked out, he always got up again. He only lost via TKO ;)

    shames the guys who destroyed him were sub world class or retired fatties then.

    imagine what would have happened with prime sanders (the one who couldn't land atitle fight in the lewis era). good thing wlad picked him when he was supershyte.

    Frustration, they lose the will to keep trying because every time they try to launch an attack they either get caught with a big shot or clinched. Works every time.

    Wlad controls range far better than he used to. Being so tall and having such a good jab combined with his foot speed makes it hard to get in range and even if you do get in range he clinches.

    Price got caught trading, Wlad doesn't do that, he looks to beat you to the punch then either move away or smother the counter. He engages on his terms when he has the advantage he would now never allow himself to trade with an opponent like Price did.
