When has Wlad taken a flush shot and survived? (Post video clips)

[TitoFan]

Lost between all this back and forth about who's better between the Alis, Foremans, Fraziers, Tysons, Lewises, and Wlads... is the ability to take a great punch and react well. Ali took hundreds of big shots throughout his career and took them well. Old Foreman got hit much more often than young Foreman... and took punches exceptionally well. Frazier did nothing but take punches so he could land his own. Tyson was rocked by big hitters, and always kept on fighting. Lewis got KO'ed twice (both were avenged). But he also engaged in wars with the likes of Vitali and others.

But what about Wlad? When has Wlad been truly tagged, and managed to survive and maybe even win the fight? Sam Peter? Is that the only example? Who else has tagged Wlad and not put his lights out?

Wlad doesn't get hit flush, because he rarely exposes himself enough to get hit.... and because most of his opponents are scared shitless as well. So it becomes a battle of jabs and/or pawing. If the opponent makes a crass mistake, Wlad may or may not pounce. But the pouncing is done in a defensive posture. Just in case the opponent has some life left in him.

Has Wlad proven his chin to the point where he can hang with the greats in that regard? If so, please post any video clips where Wlad is seen getting rocked, but survives the onslaught and comes back to take control of the fight.

Can't find a video since I'm on the phone but as defensively as haye fought with wlad I think he tagged him good in the fifth, wlad came back tagged him harder and at that point haye went all track suit, also think he got tagged in the twelfth against haye. Don't get me wrong wlads chin is far from even good but takes more than one punch to put his lights out.

I'd love to see those clips. I watched the fight the first time and cannot honestly remember Wlad getting hit with much of anything flush. This was the buildup to the fight... Haye's power versus Wlad's suspect chin. The fight was disappointing, to say the least, with an excrutiatingly low amount of punches thrown from both combatants. Then Haye gave us his injured toe story, and it all went downhill from there.

Outstanding amount of video being presented here

I also do not recall Haye doing anything either other then looking like a deer in the headlights for 36 minutes. That fight was a dud. Perhaps the first Peter fight when he was dropped 3 times but I don't remember a punch landing flush.

the 2 times I can remember were Sanders and Brewster, and we all know what happened there. To tell you the truth, Brewster only landed one good intial inside left hook, and wlad just flapped and flopped around like a seagull.

vit has a better beard as lewis really rocked him several monster shots and vit hung tough.

i could be wrong but i dont even remember wlad getting hit to cleanly in the Sam Peter 1 fight

everytime peter even came close wlad seemed to go down, i think haye hit him harder

its a while since i saw the peter fight mind and ive only seen it once

So are we saying he gets knocked out if he is caught flush ?
If that is true , then Wlad has the best defence in the history of boxing , because in 62 fights he has lost only 3.
Those stats alone say he is a defensive master , thats if you are saying he gets knocked out if he gets hit flush.

Indeed. His jab, jab, grab and lean defense has served his jello like chin well. He adapted and cured insomnia at the same time.

I understand your point , but not getting hit and winning is part of boxing.

And I yours and fundamentally agree. The idea after-all is to hit and not get hit. Unfortunately for the spectator and because he has a chin that Locche could dent, Wlad has taken that ideal to a whole different level.

That is true but if its in the rules its fair , yes it may be boring sometimes , but very effective.
I dont remember past champs thrilling us every minute.
