I didn't say he declined since Haye, I said he has PHYSICALLY declined since Chagaev, almost half a decade ago. He's getting older now, more wear and tear, more stress on his body, etc. |

No way does a younger version of Wlad completely negate someone as explosive as Haye through movement, footwork and understanding of range. Just watch his fights throughout his career, he has declined a bit physically but his boxing iq is far higher. Less excitement, less early knockouts, but far far less risk. It would take a very specific style and attributes to beat present day Wlad. |

What does it prove? It proves that in his last fight his workrate was at an all time high. The very opposite of being in decline.
You dont really know why you said he has declined ,probably just to argue with me , and now you're stuck in a corner not knowing where you are. |

Why don't you salvage Vitali Klitschko's punch stats against Kevin Johnson and Lennox Lewis? Believe he threw over 1,000 punches against Johnson, more than against Lewis. Must have never declined then.

You're using punch statistics as evidence that he hasn't physically declined, not taking into account that each respective fight was against different opponents that led to different punch outputs due to differing dynamics.
In a nutshell, it holds no water. It's akin to using a much, much older Vitali Klitschko's punch statistics against Kevin Johnson to show that he hasn't physically declined since his fight against Lennox Lewis. Just a shitty argument. |
