    This guy is 245 lbs.

    This guy is two hundred and forty-five fking pounds.

    That left hook was insanely quick, but Wlad has been KO'ing guys with it for some time. How many other 245 lb men can throw a devastating leaping left hook KO shot like that?

    Wlad's speed, both hand and foot is severely underrated.

    I agree with you. Shame we're not seeing it in action against better opponents. It's a sorry state of affairs when Pulev was seen as one if Wlad's bigger challenges in recent times.

    This! :deal

    Some people were absolutely delusional. Pulev looked fast next to a 54 year old Thompson and they figure he's faster than Wlad :rofl:rofl

    He's a 245 pound man who's 6'6 and in amazing shape, its not that shocking.

    Best Wlad performance in a while. I thought Wlad was beginning to show signs of slowing down but his conditioning and preperation were right on again.

    It was clear early on that Pulev didn't have the speed necessary to evade the jab, much less the hook. Haye and Povetkin, by contrast, were at least more mobile. But I don't necessarily rate them ahead of Pulev who came to fight and landed some good punches.

    When you are in with someone this slow you will look quick.

    Full time golfer put a quicker W on ice in less than 9 minutes.

    Lennox absolutely demolishes W and makes him look slow.

    No, Lennox would not. No disrespect to Lennox who was a great fighter and would likely have won prime to prime but his punches weren't faster.

    I would not bet against prime Wlad, no matter who is fighting. Maybe only vs Vitali. :D

    Lennox has many assets but superhuman speed is not one of them.

    That's some serious fast twitch mesomorph explosiveness.
