Leg prime? It's nothing to do with his legs. 1- Wlad doesn't commit with full on aggression like he used to, far less risk = less chance getting ko'd. He's much cleverer than young Wlad. 1B-- When was the last time he fought a big puncher in their prime and took bombs? Brewster or Sanders landed cleanly, Haye didn't but the 1 big punch he did rocked Wlad. His legs are the same, his boxing skills have improved drastically.
Chagaev was not allowed fight outside Germany. He couldn't pass the medical exams. He was a sick patient. Wlad is a bully who cherry picks guys who have no chance of winning. If a guy presents a stlye that might trouble him, he is past on to big bro instead. Wlad is a disgrace to boxing.
Sam Peter, Lamon Brewster, Corrie Sanders, David Haye, Mariusz Wach disagree. (WK) Tomasz Adamek, Kevin Johnson, Odlanier SOlis, Manuel Charr disagree (VK)
mccline hit like a mother ****er and was a borderline top 10 guy. sanders came from nowhere. it certianly wasn't a step up, more like a keep busy fight to see if a fight with lewis could be made.
1. I want to see the source of Chagaev not being allowed to fight outside Germany please. 2. People were giving Haye a legit shot of KO'ing Wladimir, he didn't pass him to Vitali. 3. I believe many people saw Peter icing Wlad in their first fight.
Sure.. And Wladimir took on the challenge. He isn't afraid of fighting anyone, recently a lot of contenders haven't liked the idea of fighting Wlad though.
You funny Germans, Wladimir was like 26-27 when he lost 3 times. 2nd and 3rd tiers in boxing knocked him out. The current heavyweight division doesn't include any top American. Unreal, no? Poor division, Klitschkos are overrated. Wlad was like 4th tier in the past, Vitali somewhere between 2nd and 3rd tiers. By the way, do you know Vitalia was caught with steroids back then?
Funny that. I clearly remember Wlad being the clear Ring ranked number 2 during Lewis's peak years. Funny that.
Chagaev was going to fight Valuev in Finland but no doctor would allow him to fight due to him being diseased. The American Association of Professional Ringside Physicians also said he was unfit to fight. But he was allowed to fight in Germany because Wlad likes beating up the sick.
And Joe Frazier was being able to pass the eye test by cheating, he was blind in his left eye. He was "unfit" too. Except he went on to beat Ali. Buster Douglas dominated and stopped Tyson despite having the flu. If beating up "sick" people is so easy, why couldn't Ali and Tyson do the same? (Actually Ali beat in the end though) Don't forget Cleveland Williams, the guy was literally shot, had the bullet still in his leg making him crippled and had parts of his intestines removed. Beating up "sick" people is not something just Wlad does, it happened all the time and Wlad is no less disgrace than Ali or whoever beat up a "sick" man at a time. Chageav was the third best man in the division and Wlad beat him.
Wasn't Bute ranked ahead of Ward? :rofl Comparing any Klitschko to Lennox Lewis is like comparing Lennox to Ali. The Canadian was real. For you, Lennox Lewis murdered Vitali Klitschko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhIRC9Jm-94 Ask anybody, Vitali is regarded in the US better than Wladimir. In his prime.
