My opinion on Wladimir Klitschko

Haha. Nice. Thanks for answering such an idiotic post. I didn't feel up to it. :good

 

Wlad is a great guy!

 

Thats why i said for the idiots here - hypothetically and added in brackets (he will still lose when they fight anyway) :good

What i said was true though :smoke

 

Hypothetically if Haye was 6'5 and could move like Sweat Pea he'd be the greatest fighter. In the real world, Wlad is 6'5, moves well for someone that size, and fights tall extremely well. Haye's getting smoked once Wlad starts dropping that big right hand.

 

:rofl

He isnt gonna drop it, he will be too feart :smoke

 

Yeah you're right, he'll more likely Ray Austin it and beat him one handed.

I'm not a fan of Wladimir Klitschko and his fans do overrate his ability.

But he is a very competent and decent champion who has done very well in a weak era. His jab is excellent and his power decent. He is defensively good under Manny Steward and uses his size very well.

Good champion but he is not in my Top 20 of all-time.

 

Im not a Klit fan, however i do admire Wlad, he came off some bad losses but has now stepped up and is ruling the division and is going in the right direction. If he stays on top for a few more years and beats Haye, Adamek then he will definitly silence the critics. The problem is 2 of the divisions best happen to be brothers

I hope Manny does the same job with Cotto

 

Haye is no Ray Austin, unfortunately for Wladdy boy :smoke

 

Wlad is a great fighter, unfortunately the chronic nuthugging he receives from his fanboys leads to a lot of hate. Comparisons can be drawn with Calzaghe and his nuthuggers in that regard.

 

+1:good

 

I thought the same thing about his stamina after the Purrity and Brewster losses. He was also breathing heavily against TOS. Today however I think he's much improved in that department.

Recently he was chasing Chambers around the ring, firing dozens of power shots next to something like 50-60 jabs per round. Every round, for 12 rounds! You can't possibly do that if you're not top conditioned and if you have naturally weak stamina levels. Yes Steward had to yell at him to get him go in for the kill, but this wasn't a stamina issue at all.

One of Wlad's recent sparring partners (forgot the name, I think he was British. Not Tyson Fury) said how Wlad's camp and preparation was the most diligent and professional he's ever seen. Daily schedule, diet, sparring, conditioning. Everything is optimized. I don't think the level of sophistication in his camps 10 years ago was anywhere close to this. The cumulative experience pays off.

I'd agree with "gun shy" as a point for criticism, but stamina? No, not anymore. They worked on that and fixed it.
