    Absolute bull****. Compare like for like....do you think WALDO could have taken the shot that Lewis took from Rahman and got up? I think not, personally considering he's been knocked over by far, far worse fighters than the Rahman that Lewis fought that night in Africa. Bear in mind the only reason WALDO fought Sanders was because Sanders was the guy that LOST to Rahman by KO, doesn't that give you some perspective here seeing as the Sanders loss is the only loss that the WALDO lovers seem to count as 'genuine' (**** knows why)

    Look at the guys record....he's fought poor competition his whole career and he's still managed to be KD'd a dozen times, that tells you all you need to know about WALDOS chin. God help the guy if he was around when there were genuine monsters in the HW division...Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Lewis etc...

    To the thread starter, good post with legitimate information/evidence to support your position, the problem with some folks here is that they are quick to disagree but aren't willing to do the legwork to support their argument with facts/information/evidence. All you need to see is the post in which the guy says Klitch was knocked down "like 13 times" as if it's a guessing game. In the initial post the man told you exactly how many times he's been knocked down, how many fighters knocked him down, and you are still "guessing". Bottom line, your point stands because it's the only one supported with any sort of logic, information, and/or documentation. It should be a challenge to those that disagree to do their own research or gather legitimate data that proves otherwise. Good Post dude. For the record I'm not trying to agree or disagree with the overall premise, but until someone can show me something to the contrary, you present the best available argument.

    Damn sttraight I have...of course the WALDO lovers will make their excuses and bang on about Lewis being stopped twice but the bottom line is that WALDO goes down pretty much EVERY time he gets caught. Can you say the same about Lewis? **** no, he took hard shots his entire career, went down twice and was only legitimately stopped once, the McCall stoppage wouldn't have happened had he been a Kraut fightnig in Germany as we all saw with the WALDO-Brewster fight.

    Bar room philosophizing about who would have knocked him out from the past accomplishes nothing. The fact of the matter is Wladimir Klitschko has fought the best out there the past 6 years and ducked no one...

    Yep. A 50+ Mercer. What a feat, Wlad was able to take Hard Left Jabs from a ancient Mercer.

    Nah, his chin isn't underrated. It's rated appropriately. It's a definite weakness. And he knows it.

    Mercer was 40 or 41, and not wore out. Bhop is what 43/44? He still could beat the best out there. But Mercer fought the best and NEVER got KDd until he met the VERY best!


    Ive seen every fight Wlad has fought since 98, and only Sanders hurt him. Peter rabbit punched him offbalance all night, and Wlad still came in. Brewsters mobconnections did their job, and got Brewster a belt, that is until Wlads corner stepped up the security, and the real fight was fought, basically punch for punch until the true winner was still standing.

    Man, I wish Lewis was 5 years younger, oh wait, he started ducking the Klitschkos exactly that many years ago. OK ten years younger. Wlad would beat him down like Rahmans redheaded stepchild.

    I wish Tyson was ten years younger and still a lunatic. Oh wait, he's still a lunatic, but 10yrs younger anyway. Wlad KO 6.

    I wish Ali was prime. Wlad KO 1

    I mean cmon people. You cant compare what those other guys MIGHT do against him. They aint fighting no more, and none except Tyson and Lewis had the oppurtunity. But Lewis ran like a biitch, and Tyson couldnt even beat McBride.

    BTW. Any version of Cory Sanders vs Wlad ends in a Sanders KO. To quick, and too strong. What an abso****inlute waste of pure athletic ability.

    And to the OP. Good take!:good

    BTW. IMO Ali UD over Wlad. That was a knock at the haters.

    Wlad's chin is decent enough, Corrie Sanders hit him with the kitchen sink and he still got up.

    Guys glass chin means you are always getting KO'd and always going down. Michael Grant has a glass chin. Wlad is a champion and 2 of his losses were clearly due to stamina, if he had a glass chin his record would be 40-14 not 54-3. Glass chinned fighters are not guys that have won almost all of thier 60 pro fights

    Felix Trinidad and Prince Naseem Hamed were knocked down numerous times in thier career, did they have glass chins too?

    So what are you trying to say? That Wlad has a better chin then Lewis? Its just that he is too much of a pansy to stay on his feet?
