Wlad klitschko ko machine

Klitschko beat a 40 year old Tony Thompson in 6 rounds.
Tyson beat a 38 year old Larry Holmes in 4 rounds.

 

I'll leave the question of "goodness" aside, but the "exiting" part can be summed up by this:

Klitschko is a bigger man who fights cautiously against smaller opponents
Tyson was a smaller man who fought ferociously against bigger opponents

 

As a Wlad fan he is not as exciting as he once was but he is like you said still an efficient KO guy

Actually I liked his finish in Peter 2 how he attacked with both hands til Peter fell, never seen anything like that from him during this title reign and thought it was what we were gonna see

Vs Haye he did what he had to vs a guy who wasnt gonna let himself be KO'd or fight much for that matter

Mormeck he KO'd quickly and rightfully so and he did it with accuracy and with few punches

Thompson 2 he KO'd him much faster and with much less difficulty. Also he dropped him and stunned him late in the 5th and in the very next round stopped him..he also really didnt batter him he stopped him with very few shots

Wlad frustrated me in fights where he hurt the guy and took a while to end it

Chambers was stunned in the 2nd or 3rd. Chagaev was down early, Rahman was getting hit and hurt early, there are a few more i cant think of off the top of my head

vs Mormeck and Thompson he hurt them and dropped them and then took them out shortly after being initially in trouble not carry them 5 more rounds

 

WELL SAID! :happy

 

Wlad is not a ko machine.
He's just fighting hand picked opponents

 

Yeah, hand-picked as in mandatory contenders for his title that he has to face or give up world titles.

 

He was exciting early on when he would look to knock you out or get knocked out but now he's so boring to watch even Sven Ottke watches his fights when he can't sleep. And I'm a Hopkins fan, who can stink it up the joint with the best of them but Wlad can be so frustrating to watch because you know he could step it up and get the KO if he wanted to. He could have raped Haye had he wanted to but decided to fight like a 2 metre tall, 245lbs Sven Ottke instead.

 

Roy Jones jr fought mandatories yet people still accuse him of fighting bums

 

And? You said hand-picked. A mandatory is the opposite of a hand-picked opponent.

 

I wouldn't put Wlad's fights on the same level of boredom as the majority of B-Hops (minus the Haye and Ibragimov fights)

 

atsch But ROY only held a BELT . VLAD has them all except his brothers . I assume you get this ?

 

Bingo.

 

Boring or not, he still is a KO machine. Out 58 fights, 51 by KO. Doesnt matter if the fight itself can be boring, you can expect a KO most of the time.
Only thing that sucks is that in both of his unification bouts, he failed to KO the opponent.

 

he better be a ko machine , with the competition hes fighting.
