Yup, late to non-existent! A 747 FO over at airliners.net was saying with the centre of gravity sitting in front of the main gears on the 747 if you flare too late you pretty much "push" the main gears down onto the runway.
Ouch. Just look at the inboard flaps shake with the impact, massive amount of force being absorbed by the tires and airframe.
