    Spot on. Most people underappreciate Wlad's incredible determination and passion for the sport. You don't come back from where Wlad was after the Brewster loss, dust yourself off and go on to dominate the division for 11 years unless you have tremendous heart.

    Youre absolutely right- It is basically over, because taking away the jab means he knocks you out with the left hook instead. Holmes jab would be ineffective against Wlad.

    There's also no point continuing this if you really think Holmes was the faster fighter.

    As for Larry's comments- he's just the player hater of the year, just like Johnson was in his day when he rooted for white heavyweights because he wanted to be the only black champion.

    Dude is an ATG boxer and hater, plain and simple.

    Aha, sure. Did you even watch boxing? Pulev was thinking the same, ask him now .... Left hooks, right hands, Klitschko ****nal is insane, he can change tactic as fights goes on. Opponents looking for the right hand or the jab and Klitschko KO them with that left hook.

    Do not compare that Russian farmer Pulev with ATG Holmes.

    The finish of the Austin fight, Wlad throws 5 consecutive left hooks in a second and a half, including the one-shot KO hook to start the salvo.

    lmao! Klitschko couldn't throw two consecutive left hooks in a second and a half. You must mean a minute and a half.

    Pulev is not russian and I'd give him very good chance to beat wilder

    Yes, but he also is a top-5 all time heavyweight. It kind of balances out.

    You're right. He could throw two in less than a second.

    Tony gave a good effort, but never had Wlad in trouble, let alone big trouble. You are going to have to explain this claim.

    Steward always acted that way, you would think Chambers was ahead going into the 12.
