    What does a great defensive have to do with having a great chin?

    Using your logic, 5'10 186 lb w/ 68" reach, Rocky knocks Wlad out too?
    This is my last response to stupid posters

    You can't jump on the other guys back to protect yourself. Block, parry, slip, counter punch, or get out of the way.

    Wlads defence is illegal , so how can it be great?

    Those defensive moves are a masterclass in old school rough house tactics. it's good to see a young and upcoming prospect like Tyson Fury now also emulating Wlad the master of these lost arts. The way Wlad and Fury delt with Povetkin and Cunningham was a joy to watch.

    See, this further proves YDKSAB.

    Fury held USS to stop him running away so he could throw down on him. He ran and pushed him into the corner to hand him the first KO of his career.

    Wlad holds on because he wants the other guy nowhere near him and will NOT let go till his ref moves him to a safe distance:patsch:oops:

    Be gone dummy.

    Wlad brings out the worst in the British xenophobes.

    The UK is getting more racist and angry by the day.

    Quite a few of the most hatefilled Brittards have never recovered from Klitschko's stunning easy win over their boy David Haye. It badly affected them emotionally. Didn't one prominent, angry Brittard that posted here actually die/commit suicide while posting on here during the fight?

    Whats more interesting is that it is actually 8 1/2 years without being
    floored since it is now 2014. Alot has happened in the
    2 years you've been asleep.

    Wlad has dominated a weak Heavyweight era in which he jabs and jabs and jabs from distance and rarely gets close enough to attempt to land a power shot unless his opponent has been sliced, cut up, and fatigued from trying to reach a Vlad who is constantly pulling out and away from a non-puncher.

    Wladimir Klitchko is afraid to open up against feather fisted heavyweights. His cautious approach is the reason why he's stayed off the floor.
    Vlad is a fighter who has immense offensive capabilities but he doe'snt employ them for fear of his china chin being fractured.

    Bowe, Lewis, Tyson. Holyfield faced all three, two of them prime and Tyson still being very formibable.
    Thats dangerous competition.

    Name me Wlad's top 3 opponents????


    Fighting cautious and soft in a very weak era with the size and talent that Wladimir has is outright embarrassing!
