    Imagine really hot girls in camo wondering what to do while Wlad has a really, really annoyed look on his face. He then pats the girls on the asses and tells them to behave themselves.

    It really, really doesn't require a great deal of speed. It really doesn't. There are loads of cracking jabs that aren't based around speed. Liston really is the best example. It's the nature of the punch. There just is not time to adjust if it is thrown with proper form.

    Yeah, fair enough, I got a little excited there. Take Tyson. Tyson's handspeed made his hooks and body-punching lethal, right? But it was the technical prowess of his jab that was impressive, not the speed. Anybody can get a jab across, jabs need to be proper, not fast, proper, accurate. This has been proven in my opinion.

    Pavlik has a very good jab - another one that isn't fast though.

    In terms of composite punching I disagree with your appraisal of Klitchko's speed. But a lot of people do seem to think otherwise. Maybe he will prove me wrong, I will look carefully.

    We just disagree on certain fighters having exceptional speeds on their jab so there is no point in continuing the argument.

    I always thought the Mercer fight was a great example of Wlad's speed. He had some very quick and solid combos in that fight.

    I've seen Thompson vs Krasniqi and Timur, but I've seen every single Wlad fight.

    Wlad by easy KO/TKO; possibly earlier than you all might think.

    I'm glad this fight finally happens. It brings us one step closer to Klitschko-Povetkin.

    Hello JisI!!!!!!! You are correct!!!!!!!

    Take a look at Vlad Vs. Thompson, Vlad is about 3 inches taller! However, does not matter how tall Thompson is, he is overmatched. It's the skill that will matter in this fight. Austin was listed at 6 feet 6, and Jefferson, 6'6", Bostice at 6' 5", etc.

    Vlad by very vicious knockout.

    Malibua because you jumped down his throat and insinuated he was a dumb *****, do you not think he now deserves an answer from you (without having an heart attack) for his genuine question as to why we're seeing this fight again?
