Chagaev is still 225lbs and you can pull up YouTube clips of his power training. You want to tell me that Shavers, Frazier etc can punch hard, but discredit Chagaev's punch? I don't think so! First it's "anybody over 200lbs can knock anybody out" and now it's "225lb Chagaev can't punch"
Samuel Peter didn't either ey?
Tony Thompson was able to breach Wladimir's defence many times and landed a lot of good shots to seemingly no effect. WATCH it!
I know that Wladimir has taken some big shots. Quite a few actually because he's had so many fights against so many punchers and I have seen all of his fights. You only THINK you know because of what you read on biased articles!
Again, I want to make it very clear that I don't claim Wladimir has an iron chin. But he DOES have a GOOD chin with respect to the current division. It is actually ridiculous to claim that the most dominant champ in history vs the heaviest and hardest hitting era can ACTUALLY have a glass jaw!
These 12 KD's he suffered actually occurred over only 6 fights and consecutively when they occurred. When Lennox Lewis got sparked out he was unable to get up at all! You cannot PENALISE Wladimir for GETTING UP several times when he is knocked down consecutively as if this is WORSE somehow than staying down!
Disregarding gas related and medical conditions and counting all 6 occasions as relevant chin issues, please name me ANY other boxer who comes CLOSE to having fought so many 200+ fights with so FEW incidence of being KD'd? There are NONE!
If you want to maintain that Klitschko is a glass jaw, fine, but you inadvertently admit that Klitschko has superior skills to anything else yet seen if you do.
The truth is in between, trust me!
One further thing. If Wladimir Klitschko decided to fight on in his 40's (which he wont) and put on some chub as many boxers do as they age, he would be able to take an even better punch no doubt!
The most athletic boxers sacrifice chin for speed and agility and workrate.
The toughest boxers sacrifice speed, agility and workrate for chin and resistance.
You can see this clearly throughout history, the athletic boxers got slaughtered when they lost and the chubbers survived more often than not.
If Wladimir Klitschko had decided instead to come in less than athletic during his career, you would be complaining instead how he ate too many cheeseburgers etc.
"Enough with the games mate! Your messing with the Grand Master!"
