I'm not claiming he has an iron chin here. If Wladimir gets hit hard, he gets hurt. When you face such big opponents, that's not too shameful.
But he can and has taken many very hard punches over his career and won as well.
That was a jab. Wlad was wobbled by a jab. That is why he holds so much.
Wladimir Klitschko when KOed by Sanders involved butts. He got up 3 times before being waved off and finished on his feet. The other losses were gasses in which he was never actually KOed anyway (KD's and then waved off).
He got up 3 times vs Peter a savage and feared puncher, like Earnie Shavers x3 and a couple other times against other opponents to, to WIN.
He has taken multiple bombs vs other boxers too, like Chagaev who slammed him with a big right after the bell which Wladimir took flush and undefended and shook off as if it was nothing. Pulev landed power punches too and Wladimir didn't drop. Povetkin, Wach,, Haye all landed good shots on him and he didn't drop.
Obviously the Pulev jab knocked him off balance, nothing more.
The day Wladimir gets knocked down by a jab I'll be here to hear I told you so!
Your rubbishing Klitschko in a fight he dominantly WON by savage KO and was never KDed in himself! Something is wrong with the picture? Biased!
