Why is Wladimir Klitschko So Overrated?

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Johnson Knows, Mar 24, 2011.

  1. I'd rate Vitali over him, even on that time scale. He beat the man who beat the man (sanders)!

    So what.

    Vitali's opposition is not as good.
     
  3. Who would you rate higher all time, Vitali or Wladimir?

    Oh do **** off, Wlad has beat around 30 chaps that were better than a 40 year old clown like Harrsion.

    Wlad because his competition is better but there probably isn't a lot between them as neither has had top competition and top wins. I also don't buy into that crap about Vitali winning any events either.

    Vitali is considered a all time great champion - by alot of boxing "experts"

    Wlad is not.

    Yes you are right. Guys just turn up for the pay check. Wlad has never looked comfortable under pressure. When you land on him he panics and has that deer in the headlights look on his face. So what do people like Chagaev, Ibragimov and Chambers do? Turn up and lay on the ropes with there hands up. What the hell is that about?

    You're talking ****, FLINT. Sorry mush.

    Beeston, I wouldn't rate Wlad in the top 20 myself. He has had a good run and adapted his style to make himself formidable etc etc but there are Heavies with better wins/attributes/runs out there.

    I wouldn't rate him too highly H2H either. Bar the tiny Heavies and maybe Ken Norton, I can't imagine Wlad faring too well in any other division other than this.

    Same goes for Vitali in terms of other eras. He's awkward and pretty tough (how many times has his chin been tested other than Lennox though? And how many punchers has he actually faced? He's not the iron chinned monster most make him out to be IMO) Winning 'events' is not in my criteria when it comes to ranking :lol:
