Wanderlei would've been KO'd by that punch any time in his career, IMO

Rampage is still the same size he's always been taller then wand thats no secret. I mean if you watch the weight in were the stare each other down there the "same" height because wand has shoes on and Rampage doesn't but there frame is the same, maybe wands is even a hair bigger. Check it out.

Hell, had Rampage connected that cleanly on Chuck at 71, I might've expected to see Chuck be put out completey for the first time.

I think that punch would have knocked anyone out.

Wandy has never had a strong chin.

Ya, that punch was pinpoint,flat out on the jaw, anyone is falling or getting ktfo on that one.

I dont know...Wandy does seem to be KOed easier nowadays after that CC fight.

His chin has never really been tested up until that fight with rampage where he caught him and little and dropped wandy in pride. But he recovered. Chuck was connecting, but he recovered. Rampage just caught him right on the button. You can make a agument from the belfort fight, but he wandy ate some straights. But hes always been open to those punches, just know only but chuck,rampage,belfort were the only ones skilled enought at the time to hit him. But his chin is solid, he proved that against chuck arguably.

But a direct shot..and a power shot for that matter right on the button is dropping anyone.

you pretty much have to agee with the TS. it was a perfect counter hook, that would knock out just about anyone. If you dont agree, you probably belong in a harry potter book because you are a troll.

after the Diaz and Pulver fight, I think Gomi would survive a Rampage punch..........jk too much mass behind it compared to Pulver.

You cant really say that, because how many ppl have been ko'd by cro cop with that same kick? I did notice something since that fight though. I did notice him beefed up with a lot of muscle(which if not balance right, could hinder ones throwing punches ability).

TS is right.
some people here put Wand on a pedestal.
