Wladimir has a HIGHLY underrated chin

Hard to say due to the fact anyone who gets close enough to land a punch immediately finds themselves in the Klitschko grip of death.

 

No he just uses his height extremely well and fights very cautious controlling behind the jab, wlad is a smart dude he knows his jaw is glass so he doesnt risk it (unfortunately for us even when winning clearly) allthough some of his kd's were due to fatigue more than jaw being shattered imo.

 

Accumulation shots and being tired is another thing entirely...I can agree with that. But he has been hurt with single shots. And even though we are talking about massive guys throwing extremely hard shots that would take out guys like us, we are only comparing them to their peers.

As far as Brewster hurting Wlad, it actually happened kinda early.

Time 1:47.....4:38 for the replay

But again, Brewster is a big strong 200+ guy with a big punch. It's not like these type are common anyway.

He was also sneaking in body-shots.

There is a lot to getting tired fast when hurt. That's why guys that can control their emotions/mind/body, when hurt, are incredible.

 

Wlad has gotten great at not getting hit flush in the chin. That is why his chin is improving. It's a byproduct of not engaging until the coast is absolutely clear, then waiting another two rounds.

 

Wlad's chin consists of wet toilet paper and dry horse **** and it's about as underrated as Tyson's power.

 

how is his chin underrated when he barely ever gets tagged on it cleanly, and when he has, he's had it utterly shattered or at the very least, brutally cracked? that doesn't sound like an underrated chin, unless people underrate the shittiness of his chin.

 

Emmanual Steward taught Wlad to stay behind the jab and use his height... and to step back when his opponent comes forward. His chin is still **** but he seldom gets hit on it flush. He's still a boring ass fighter and him and his brother are the very reason why there needs to be a super-heavyweight division. They've made a career off of beating up on small heavyweights and built up cruiserweights and everybody thinks their ATG's. If the Klitchkos were 6'2 - 220 they wouldn't be ****

 

Which (proper) HW champ has been down the most times? Is it Patterson or Wlad?

 

Patterson by a country mile....something daft like 22 times on his arse

 

That's a terrible argument.
That's like saying if Shaq wasn't 7'1, or if Michael Jordan was 5'9.

And, if they were different heights, they'd have a completely different body, a completely different style, etc... in addition, there are plenty of big guys who SUCK. You think Tye Fields sucks, well guess what? There are many fighters his size, who Fields would absolutely demolish. Same goes for other sports. There are a lot of 7ft guys who can barely tie their shoes, and would never make it in the NBA. The height/size argument is not valid.

 

Wlad's chin isn't bad, but it's not really that good.

A man who can whack hard and land flush can stop him.

Hence why Sanders gave him a beating. No accumulation there.

 

I think Wlad's chin is fine. But he seems to go into shock more than anything else and loses it. It's like some video game where if he gets tagged he loses energy to a drastic level. He was like that against Purrity, Brewster and Sanders, though Sanders' quick hands were extremely accurate.

It would be interesting to see if he ever gets tagged again and how he survives if he did.

 

Louis was down around 12 times most of which were around 200lb fighters or under.
