Rate klitschko's chin

[thebigkabosh]

Being able to take a punch is the MOST important attribute for a boxer. Without a doubt Grabimir has one of the WEAKEST chins of any HW champion in history. This among other reason why Grabimir can't beat 37 year old retirees, has to lean and hold over mediocre opponents and why he is such a weak H2H fighter.

[TheRichCoward]

It's around a 3. Very poor.

[MPX309]

I rate it quite highly, about 6 foot 2 inches highly.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

His loss to Purity was more about stamina. His loss to Sanders was more about speed. As far as Brewster, something was wrong with Wladimir after the fourth. Brewster barely hit him with anything. Wlad just went down in a fight he was easily winning, not mention dominating Brewster in the rematch.

Samuel Peter put him down three times in their first fight, although one of those looked pretty suspect. Yet, Wlad got up to beat him then and again later on. I don't see that Wlad ever had a weak chin or a problem with his chin. It was more about confidence. Emanuel Steward helped him regain that confidence and he has not lost or even been knocked down since.

As far as other champions, I know Floyd Patterson hit the deck and got KO'd way more. Tyson had more than a few losses by knockout. Michael Spinks got blasted out in one round by Tyson and Holmes got KO'd by him. Lots of great heavyweights got knocked out. Most of them are huge and have the potential to knock anybody out.

pretty much agree. you don't become a dominating champion regardless of opposition and style if you have a glass chin. wlads chin is far from granite and only average but it isn't glass or hed have been starched by more than just corrie sanders in 60+ fights

he was also knocked out by nothing men Ross Purrity and Lamon Brewster

[SN!PER]

One of the hardest chins to hit in boxing today.

That chin has developed a mind of its own. It's like play-doh. It can dodge a punch even when Wlad's head isn't where it's supposed to be.

[Larry the boss]

He clearly has a weak chin..BUT!!! he has found away to dominate with a weak ass chin...we all as humans have weaknesses but in order to survive we must find away to survive with those weaknesses...and he did

[Build That Wall]

His Chin is Mitchell bad. The huge difference between Klitschko and Mitchell is that Klitschko is good and he knows how to box and bore the masses to death. Mitchell bored us all in Mitchell vs Banks 2. One of the worst fights ever.

Klitschkos strengths make up for his bad chin.

Khans does not.

[Elroy1]

Obviously Klitschko has a decently solid chin.

It's utterly ******ed to think that the HW champion of the world with the most 200+ fights in history (66 and counting) along the FEWEST losses and the heftiest average opponents (235-240lbs on average) can POSSIBLY have a weak chin.

How this is even a continued issue these days is unbelievable!

Look at the head on the guy for Christ sake!

And if he has been hurt, dropped at times, it should come as NO SURPRISE! Look at the guys he has to bloody fight by comparison with the "school children" of past eras!
