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.Quote:

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.
Waterford crystal.
If that was the sport that we followed then Fury may have gotten an DQ or NC for the way he stopped Cunningham... ;)Quote:

When Emmanuel Stewart taught him to understand and control distance, it more or less made his ability to take a punch irrelevant.
So knock downs don't count if you're tired?
Ricardo Mayorga is now your biggest fan. :)
wlads chin is better than it was as he seems a lot more confident with it
in the past the slightest knock and he'd seem to be scared of another and as a result took another if you get me :)
but as noted in an earlier post his confidence comes with his excellent defence, but his defence relies heavily on holding and leaning which isnt really in the rules, so perhaps if this could be stopped he might not have enjoyed the success he has and would still be chinny
