Thread: Wlad's chin.

How good/bad would you say it is? Sure, he's been TKO'd before, but Sanders headbutted him, and he was tired against Brewster and Purrity.

His chin I'd ridiculously weak for a heavyweight and the times he was KOd were not the only times he was down, he has been down 10-11 times in his career.

His defences are excellent now so he rarely gets hit, but his chin is hugely suspect and could still make him horizontal if it is hit by someone with power.

If refs actually stopped fighters, holding, leaning etc he would not still be fighting.

He's good at what he does but if he had to fight strictly adhering to the rules, he would not still be holding a belt.

I think Wlad has a good chin despite his knockout losses. Most HWs have punching power and anybody who gets hit clean will go down.

Against Sanders, he just caught cold . It was just an element of surprise..

Against Brewster, his fatigue got him knocked out.

Let wilder have a go on that chin if he can get past Wlads ever improving defence.

Sadly, i cant see that fight happening as its too much risk for Wlad.

Wlad's chin is underrated IMO.

If that was the sport that we followed then Fury may have gotten an DQ or NC for the way he stopped Cunningham...

Who has legitimately floored Wlad?

Sanders, Brewster, Williamson, Sam Peter...I think Purrity just had him on the ropes

Yeah cause wilder is all about takin chances, you mean its to much risk for wilder, who the f has he fought?

Id give it a c- he's never been out cold gets knocked down but gets up even if on stanky legs, and its usually not off one shot but combos so not shit but below average

He was tired against Brewster and Peter, and Sanders headbutted him.

Who's rocked him?

When Emmanuel Stewart taught him to understand and control distance, it more or less made his ability to take a punch irrelevant.
