Wlad doesn't need to be. Wilder was going life and death with the likes old man Ortiz in that timeframe any version of Wlad is better then any version of can crusher and the fact that that Ortiz is an old man and was literally forced off of his heart meds to get clearance to fight makes it even worse. Face it at no point was Wilder ever a good boxer he has **** fundamentals and literally lost every time he stepped up he was a manufactured champion.
Lets please not be childish . Wilder had limited skills ( for a world class level fighter ) and balanced it with his unbelievable punching power . After him being an olympic medallist , 48 pro hw fights , 5 years wbc world champion , 10 title defences with an incredible KO rate and +10 years of undefeated hw boxing its really really weird to claim the has just **** fundamentals and he is a munfactured bum who would be cleared by the fella of next door boxing club . He has his limits and glitches but i think he deserves some respect .
It’s because they don’t know **** about boxing, or athletics in general, really. If you think anyone that “can punch” can become an Olympic medalist, and a reigning world champion for several years, you just really don’t know anything about the sport. Im not even trying to be mean or abrasive, there’s just not much of a better way to put this. We could even take examples of popular fighters who were hard punchers who didn’t achieve what Wilder did, but that still doesn’t drive the point home, because to even reach a level of popularity they also had to have more than “just being able to punch.”
No, not at all. What fury did in wilder 2 was nothing like wlad would do. Wlad was too careful. fury wasn’t jab and grab
Fury literally was doing the kronk jab, right hand, clinch, just like Wlad, but adjusted to his size and lack of power.
Can we please be serious? None of you here, would actually put money on Wlad had he faced Wilder in '17.
He was throwing a stiff jab, 1,2’s and was rushing wilder with relentless aggression. It wasn’t a wlad jab and grab affair to break your opponent down. “Kronk Jab” lol, if you use a similar Jab and don’t train their what’s it called? It’s just a proper jab instead of his lazy back hand flick which is an incorrect jab
I used Kronk as they both used that style under the Kronk Gym trainers. Wlad could definitely pressure Wilder like that and since he beat him up and knocked him out in sparring, he wouldn't lack confidence to come forward, like he sometimes did.
Yes because success in sparring has any relevance to actual fighting. Someone should've told that Quarry ahead of his fight with Norton.
You know not all sparring sessions are equal right? And there's a big reason Finkel kept Wilder away from Wlad. They knew it spelled doom for him. Only thing Wilder would have is if 2017 Wlad was totallt shot.
