    I’m sorry but wlad isn’t even top 5 ATG heavy left hookers. Possible not even top 10

    barely top 50 over all the weights

    He's a good hooker in the same way that Floyd was a good jabber - like, yes, each was quite adept with it when they put their minds to it, but you don't associate them in either case with the respective punch (and rightfully so, as it factored only very lightly into their success - with the caveat that at least in Mayweather's case, the body jab was a pretty consistent part of his arsenal for many years)

    Probably. However for me the sweet left hook against pulev is more impressive than Austin’s 10 short ones against the ropes.

    I heard scuttlebutts over the last decades that he was a real hard head when it came to "coaching", his ego was so big he would simply not listen to the dudes that wanted him to use a more balanced approach.

    not critizizing to much, I am a bit like that myself in all walks of life, lol, just saying his jab and move style (as you put it) was really impressive and he focused so much more on defence and not getting into trading wars.

    Well the V isn't wrong necessarily, but it requires changing which transliteration we're using. Do you prefer Wladimir or Volodomyr?:D

    Yeah. Stupid on his part or badly advised. Trainers who screw around with a Fighter's natural style shouldn't be allowed to carry the bucket.
