Vitali Klitschko's power?

Question

Why was Lewis able to walk through all of Klitschko's punches and not get knocked out?

Vitali said before the fight and I quote, "Lennox Lewis has a glass chin and I want to use that weakness". Too bad Dr Ironfist looked like he'd been through a meat grinder before he got that chance.

Also he couldn't KO Danny Williams and keep him down, and neither did he KO Corrie Sanders. His power is seriously weak for a heavyweight champion yet he was called the ring magazine champion??

So my question is, was Vitali's power overrated?

Answer 1

He is measured at 1325 psi on the punchstat test from russian sports science just before he turned pro. He is very heavy handed. One of the only heavys who can throw over 1000 punches with power and in fact I think he has the record for heavyweights. Mike Tyson had power but I do not think he would get inside on Vitali. Plus Vitali does have a great chin. Wladimir In my opinion is much more of a crisp puncher with more power and a little faster. Wlad has the one punch power
