    I have no doubt Wlad hits hard, but he's not the one punch KO artist people say he is. The point is, they kept getting up.

    Wlad and Tyson have both demonstrated one punch power.

    And fighters have got up against both men. It happens.

    Ruddock kept getting up against Tyson to finish the fight. Ribalta kept getting up before being stopped on his feet, Spinks even got up.

    Brewster's career ended the night he sustained a retinal detachment against sergei liakhovich after he made **** of Wlad.

    He was retired for over a year and a half before Wlad called him for a shameful rematch.

    Brewster had the same injury that retired antonio margarito.

    Shut it clown. Byrd was tko'd in the 7th round in the rematch when he was years and years past prime. His legs were completely shot and he could never punch even in his prime.

    Middleweight GGG would of slaughtered that version of Byrd. Even worse it the fact Wlad won his major title and kickstarted his reign off that win.
    :rofl
    What an absolute joke.

    Who did Wlad ever take out with one punch?

    I keep hearing this but nobody has the answer.

    Jefferson got up multiple times like it was nothing.

    Wlad took 8 rounds to KO shot Rahman, who got KO'd by Lewis, Tua, and Maskaev.

    In my opinion, that's just BS from Holmes. Fighters always mention guys they survived as harder punchers than the ones who finished them. Tyson, who actually knocked him out, hit him less hard than guys that couldn't KO him. It doesn't make sense. He was probably hit so hard he half lost consciousness.

    Actually 7 rounds. And just watching the fight it's obvious it had nothing to do with a lack of power on Wlad's part. Rahman spent the fight on the ropes in a high guard with Wlad tapping him with jabs and not forcing anything. The first power shots that landed dropped Rahman and the fight was over not long after.

    These things happen. James Smith went the distance with Tyson despite being Koed by Broad and stopped by Larry Holmes. Watching the fight we can see its because Smith like Rahman was in complete survival mode and nothing to do with Broad and Holmes having more power than Tyson.

    And Rahman was not KOed by Tua. The first fight ended in a controversial stoppage with Rahman on his feet and complaining, and Rahman went 12 in the rematch.

    Chambers had been hit with many shots before going over. He was ready to go in round 2 but managed to last another 10 , so how was he one punched knocked out.

    Took Wlad two fights and when Peter was obese and past prime to score a ko. Thats not knocking a guy out with one punch.

    Billups vs Raw Lewis, I'll give you that one.

    Tua who's never been knocked out?

    Mavorovic who also never got knocked out & who retired after the fight?

    No shame in not knocking out either Tua or the Mavorovic of that night. Foreman wouldn't knock either of them out, Neither would have Tyson, nor Wlad.

    Wlad hits harder, no question. He's ~7 inches taller, weighs more, and has perfect technique (as did Prime Tyson). Both are some of the biggest punchers the sport has ever seen, but I think Wlad clearly edges Tyson in this category.
