A fun fact about Wladimir Klitschko...

I completely disagree. Both Vitali and David Haye went the distance in their last fight. It was David Haye's only title fight, and he built his knockouts up in the Cruiserweight Division. We have no idea how that will stand against the top heavyweights. He has only fought one... and went the distance in a very uneventful effort. Clearly all of them know how to finish opponents. I don't see how Wlad can be negatively judged against the other two Champs as far as finishing fights when Wlad is the only one of the 3 (even though Haye isn't really a true Champ) that finished his last opponent. Especially considering the fact that Wlad has consistently fought at a higher level of competition than either Vitali or Haye. Either way... I think that they all 3 clearly don't suffer in the "know how to finish a fight" department. As a matter of fact... since you pointed it out... it seems that today's heavyweight top dogs know how to finish fights better than the "greats" from the past. I guess today's heavyweight division is much better than people try to make it out to be.

This shoestring "theory" of yours is nonsense anyways. We all know that people have been spewing this same nonsense about Wlad since Ibragimov, Chagaev, and Rahman/Maskaev/Peter, ect... were the other Champs. Wlad has a higher knockout percentage than all of those guys. This is nothing more than hate. Wlad is a great fighter, and with being a great fighter comes A LOT of angry, jealous people. That's the way the world works... especially the boxing world where so many people are biased... and only seem to want to support people of their own color, ethnic backround, or country. Luckily for me... I am not held down by none of that bull**** and like fighters of all colors from all ethnic backrounds, and different countries throughout the world.

 

What? I am not sure if that made sense.

Either way... it was Sanders who didn't want the rematch. Do you bother knowing the truth before you post, or does that even matter? Wlad was told by the WBO that he had to wait until Sanders defended against Brewster before he could get a shot at Sanders again. Wlad fought Moli and Nicholson based only on their WBO ranking and the fact that it would keep him in line for a mandatory shot at the WBO title. Sanders sat on the title for a year and then dropped it without even defending it once. Sanders openly stated in a video interview on "m a x boxing" that he turned Wladimir down repeatedly for a rematch. He sat there ON CAMERA and explained that Wlad wanted a rematch with him really bad, but that the only way he would give Wlad a rematch is if he (Sanders) fought and beat Vitali Klitschko for the WBC title. Sanders obviously lost to Vitali and then fell off the map. How the hell can you blame Wlad for Sanders openly admitting to denying him a rematch? Wlad even went to the WBO right after the fight pleading for an immediate rematch, and they denied him because immediate rematches were not in their rules and Wlad didn't have it in the contract. Which, if you remember the fight was tossed together on short notice after 11-or 12 other boxers refused to fight Wlad. Of course Wlad and his team were overconfident and didn't think an immediate rematch would be needed. Lesson learned on that end... but that doesn't change the fact that Wlad can't force Sanders to get back into the ring with him if Corrie refuses to do so.

 

What the ****?

First of all... Yes, Wlad rematched Brewster and stopped him. This even after Brewster stated in interviews that he wouldn't give Wlad a rematch unless Wlad became mandatory challenger. Using the excuse that he felt Wlad and his team took away from his win over Wlad by claiming foul play. As soon as Wlad won the WBO and got the chance... he fought Brewster in a rematch. What does that tell you? Wlad wanted the rematch all along and only when Wlad had the title again was Brewster willing to fight him again. Wlad also had a scheduled rematch against Puritty in which Ross pulled out of the fight claiming an injury. Wlad also chased Corrie Sanders for a rematch, in which Corrie Sanders openly admitted that he denied Wlad the rematch.

So... of Wlad's 3 losses... he rematched he most recent loss and dominated. He was repeatedly rejected a rematch by Sanders, and Puritty pulled out of a rematch claiming injury.

Doesn't fight away from home? Do you even watch boxing?
Of Wlad's last 20 fights... 8 of them have been in the United States. 4 fights ago... it was dead even at 8 and 8 in the USA and out of the USA in his previous 16. The fact that he can draw so much more money and such a bigger crowd in Germany is the reason that he has fought his last 4 fights there. It is financially more lucrative for him and his opponents. I can think of at least 5 different countries that Wlad has fought in.

 

Judging by the facts... Wladimir Klitschko is obviously more successful at finishing his fights than Mike Tyson.

In reality, it does prove something. Wlad's KO percentage clearly proves that he doesn't fail to finish his opponents. Which is what people have been saying on here. Even though now all of you are backtracking and trying to make it seem like something else.

Once again, with your last statement. The FACTS disagree with you. Wlad's average throughout his entire career is 4.6 rounds per fight.
