Even after getting knocked out he just continued to come forward on the offenive instead of regrouping. Thus he took a pretty good beating. He'll Learn from this loss, and I would bet the house that he destorys Sanders in a rematch. That said I think he drops way out of the big time heavyweight picture for a while.

I agree with BrainDead, most of the fighter's Klitschko faced were afraid of him. They kept their distance and were afraid to exchange with him. Let's give Corrie Sanders some credit. He didn't run and he wasn't afraid to mix it up with him. When he caught Klitschko and he went down. Sanders went right after him, which it seems some fighters these days have forgotten how to finish a guy. Well Sanders didn't forget and Klitschko went down too many times. It's like he couldn't even see that left. Klitschko said Sanders has very fast hands. I don't think their that fast. Obviously Klitschko will learn from this, but no matter how much he learns or trains. He will always have a weak chin. People wanted to know the answer to that, and Sanders gave it to them. On this night Sanders was the better man, and I don't think that should be taken away from him. Perhaps his brother Vitaly has a better chin, he appears to have a thicker jawline.
I have a theory that most to all super tall guys that are 6'5 and over basically have weak chins. Lennox Lewis, W. Klitschko, Jess Williard, Primo Carnera, Lew Savarese, Gerry Cooney. There are more I can't think of them at the moment.
