One punch power I'm talking about. He has brutally knocked out opponents with single shots. His power is vastly underrated.. its just a shame Wladimir takes so long to unleash some right hands & left hooks.
landed flush on sanders at will and couldnt put him away when sanders was determined, to say wlad is top5 hitter is ludicrous, I could easily say guys like tyson, foreman, marciano, tua, frazier hit harder than him and theres a ton more guys 2 maybe top20
I dont think wlad even belongs in that class, do you honestly think haye would take tyson, marciano or even lennox flush right hand? I honestly beg to differ I think Haye would be laying flat on his back
Due to the head movement of Haye I don't believe any right hands or left hooks landed flush with full force.
Wladimir never really landed clean on Haye and he fought to cautious. He was holding back because he wasn't comfortable letting his hands go. Wladimir has brutal power IMO. He isn't an accumulation puncher, he has genuine one punch KO power in both hands. Brutal left hook, and straights. If these guys all had their power measured I believe Wladimir hits as hard as the above mentioned.
Not only that, look at how many clean shots it took for him to put away a shop worn version of Hasim Rahman when it took other big punchers like Oleg Maskaev and Lennox Lewis much less powerful blows to put away a much younger version of the former champ. I remember Frans Botha also being particularly unimpressed with Wladimir Klitschko because it took Wladdy 8 rounds to put him away while suffering from the flu. Whereas Lewis annihilated him in two and Tyson blasted him out in five with just a single ****ing punch. Big puncher he is... but an all-time great power puncher - Wladimir is not. :verysad
Wladimir takes longer to knock his opponents out because of his style. Hell Wladimir won't unleash anything of note until the latter half - but when he does he hurts his opponents. Tyson blasted guys out early because he was ferocious and in your face from the opening bell. His style was to overwhelm and bombard with you hayemakers until you were out of there. Lewis doesn't hit harder than Wladimir IMO.
Lewis is a different class to Wladimir, I think if Wlad ever fought Vitali he would get iced and ktfo within 6
