Devastating power. See the Brock KO for the effect of his shot Even his left hook has more powerful than many have in there straight right hand, see the Chambers KO
Manny Steward said he's the hardest puncher that he trained. Freddie Roach said Wlad was the hardest hitter that he held the pads for. Wladimir is an ATG puncher. Definitely in the top 10 in history
The real reason is that at least 50% of boxing fans watch and comment on boxing through a nationalistic lense, and a large number have been brainwashed to see Russia as some kind of enemy (especially the Americans and British) This is the real reason why Wladimir does not get the credit he should be getting or the respect. Wladimir has knocked high level opponents out with a short left hook or a jab- that is real power none of the current crop have displayed. The last fighter with similar one punch power was Lennox Lewis.
Brock is a bum and so is Chambers. So knocking out 2 bums makes you great? Wlad is a good puncher though. I would say punch for best punch he is less than guys like Lewis, Foreman, Bowe, Morrison and Tyson. Possibly even lesser than Vitali. Hell he is probably lesser than Joshua, Wilder, Amir Mansour or that Cuban guy. I never seen Wlad knock out or knock down somebody who was known for being durable.
Wlad never knocked anyone out who was known as durable? Complete B.S and you know it. Chris Byrd was brutally stopped by Wlad, and was notorious for being difficult to nail and difficult to hurt. Wlad took his V- was the first to knock him out. Many others tried, but Wlad took his V. Another name, Tony Thompson. He was notoriously durable and had never been knocked out or beaten before. Wlad knocked him out!
So he's only knocked out bums so can't be considered a great puncher yet Joshua, Wilder and Mansour hit harder? Lol which A level opposition have they proved this against?
The Brock fight was even prior to the stoppage and Brock was a bum. Wlad couldn't even land a punch on him for the entirety of a round. It was either the 3rd or 4th round. Brock out landed him on power shots and Brock was an undersized bum.
Because you type LMFAO it proves what? Bowe was really talented until he ate himself and his career away. Brewster and Chambers are just bums period.
