That was the secret of big George's success. A very limited boxer in terms of skill. He would have been useless and easily beaten were he relying on power alone because he was easy to hit, unlike Wlad. But George could bash brains in AND take huge punishment. Wlad instead has to rely on defensive measures (which unfortunately include the much hated huggy bear routine!)
hardest punchers of all time in no particular order:

Rocky Marciano
George Foreman
Ron Lyle
Earnie Shavers
Razor Ruddock
Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Joe Frazier
Sonny LIston
