    Larry knows what he's talking about , especially regarding the jab , since he may have had the greatest jab of all time.

    Wlad never had no jab. A big tree trunk arm in your face doesn't equal a great jab.

    All these buthhurt insecured Klit****s calling Larry racist. I'm guessing you guys have not seen him diss Floyd Mayweather,James Toney and George Foreman.

    Why stiverne? I didn't see anything last week that would me to such a conclusion, if anything his poor performance confirmed my opinion that Wlad and Vitali are all wrong for him.

    As for the jab, Povetin and pulev had it well scouted, instead of forcing the issue Wlad just adjusted and used the left hook more. Wlad will jab agai fn. Especially if he had all stiff like stiverne in front of him.

    I think Larry got a point.

    Wilder, Stiverne, Fury are real challenges for Wlad.


    They ain't no Jennings or Briggs.

    :lol: Jennings and Pulev are tougher than minimum 90% of Holmes's opposition.

    Maybe Holmes should confab with Wilder about that jab since Wilder saw it very, very, very close several times when Wilder sparred Klitschko. Maybe Larry's opinion will materialize into an actual contest between Stivern or Wilder versus Klitschko and I have a feeling Larry's statement will seem like he was utterly clueless when he said it after we see the results of Klitschko-Wilder or Klitschko-Stiverne.

    True Holmes was king of a c rap era. Good fighters he fought; Witherspoon, Spinks, Tyson.

    Saying that Wlad has no jab is delusional, but even worse is saying he has no heart.

    Wladimir, whether haters want to admit it or not, has probably the greatest comeback by a heavyweight in the history of the sport. Let's go back 3,941 days: Who would have thought Wlad would be where he is today?

    My guess would be no one in this world, other than perhaps Wladimir himself. And yet, today is the 3,941st day in a row Wladimir has went undefeated. :bbb

    Wlad has seemed to abandon the Jab in favor of the left hook lately which he has always had a very good one but quit using it for the most part when he got with Steward.

    Larry also needs to realize Wlad is 38 years old. Holmes was finished at 35 and at 38 he was getting knocked around the Ring like a Ragdoll against Tyson.

    Yes because Gerry was EXACTLY like Vitali. Get out of here with that ****. Holmes would be able to land a Jab on Vitali. Style wise that is an awful fight for Holmes.

    Nope. They are bums. Pulev is a farmer from Eastern Europe and Jennings drew with fat Perez.
