no competition is why hes still dominating,i not saying hes not talented but hes not an atg by any standards,hes just in the weakest era of heavyweight boxing weve ever seen
The only fighter who has a style that acually can cause problems to Wladimir is a more experienced Price or Seth mitchell. However they are grades below Wladimir at the moment and will have to work on their footwork ( especially Seth ) Don't you think he would of dominated the Louis era aswell? Don't you think he would have caused some sort of problem to Ali, Foreman, Fraizer. To not say he is an ATG is ignorant and bias as hell. He is one of the greatest heavyweights of ALL time.
Wlad's power is tremendous. Thompson takes a pretty good punch, and he was lucky the ref gave him a little extra standing time after the first knockdown. Wlad should have 2-3 more good years left. I would like to Povetkin fight Wlad.
Wlad has progressed significantly since his first Thomson fight, as showcased yesterday. He has improved as a boxer, takes more risks, while preserving his speed and power. I would like it if he would show just a tinge of an inside game, but I guess that will always be his weakness. The Wlad who lost to Sanders or who barely survived S Peter, would have lost to Haye. This Wlad, I don't think there's any HW out there who can beat him, apart from maybe Price/Helenius by one lucky shot.
I wouldn't say better... He shows plenty of fundamental flaws. NOBODY around to exploit them, The only fighter with the tools to beat him shares the same blood line. Vitali KO 1
gets better with age, eh? Well cant wait till he turns 50 and starts facing only senior OAPs. ...not.
Or is it possible that his recycled opponents who are already older than him, May be just a little older than the first time they fought? Why isnt Wlad calling for an Arreola match? or a Chisora match? its time he fight a real fighter
