See he is exactly that... Fast for his size where guys like ali, and tyson were jus incredibly fast. Ali seriously had middle weight speed aan when tyson threw combos u forgot he was a heavy weight. wlad isnt really all that fast he is just one of like five heavies in shape at this time lol.
Wlad and Lewis are two of the most naturally gifted HW boxers ever and genetics role in athletic performance plays a part but it's not everything ,that's why sluggers like Foreman can be just as good and better.
Did you just start watching boxing? Lennox is known for his uppercut. Wlad isn't, unless you want to put it on that show "America's Funniest Videos."
Plus Lennox could **** you up on the inside with shots from awkward angles, dirty shots, the hook to the body cum uppercut to head...ala Tyson...and obviously the uppercut was one of his honey punches. Lewis was very agile for a big man, Wlad isn't. Wlad on the contrary doesn't throw a single punch on the inside, he is there to grab, lean and nothing else. Very similar to Amir khan who also does nothing on the inside. Lewis would grab on the inside with his left hand, and 9 times out of 10 would have his right hand free to throw. Wlad grabs with two hands usually around the head, which illustrates his total lack of confidence on the inside.
A joke right? I'm no hater but he's a robot compared with Ali,Patterson,Dempsey,Holmes and any other amount you care to mention. For athleticism no heavyweight has come close to Ali.
This. I'm not sure why people are rating Wlad so highly as a 'naturally' athletic person when his physique is anything but natural. It's the result of years of training. Ali was more naturally gifted, but still he had to train. Wlad is just big. Course he's gonna have good KO power; he's 6'7 and 245lbs..!
David Haye.. Tyson? Herbie Hide, Roy Jones, Ali, Liston, Tommy Morrison, Larry Holmes all far superior naturally. Wladimir isnt that natural.. he's well drilled and very very strong.
It's pretty obvious that Wladimir is the most naturally athletic HW in history, no one will seriously claim he isn't. What's important is what a fighter does with that natural athleticism,Klitschko has put it to good use and he deserves credit. Guys like tyson and Ibeabuchi used their natural athleticism to **** women and men, and I just think that's wrong.
Maybe a younger version of Wlad. Personally I think he was in his physical prime earlier on, he's considered prime now only because of his boxing IQ. He was way faster back then, just being honest with no disrespect.
I got quite a bit of quotes and gifs of people laughing hysterically. If this were in the classic forum, all of you guys who vehemently disagree with my post would be blasted by people who actually aren't ******ed.
