some ******ed ******* ******* named caneman managed to launch a 17 page thread about Floyd and Wlad. that's some WISHFUL thinking on the part of Klitschko fans to think there is any similarity between them Floyd knows how to counterpunch Floyd knows how to move his head Floyd knows how to throw more than a jab and a one-two etc. etc. etc. the differences are fuking endless. Stop comparing them. Wlad is more comparable to the likes of Dzinziruk and Sturm than Floyd fuking *******s:roll:
Similarities: Their both boring. They both take minimal risks They both have suspect chins. Need I go on . But Floyd is def a better fighter then Klitchsko :good
Floyds an outstanding boxer with excellent counter punching, who can switch from offensive to defensive at will, while combining them at various times, parrying, blocking and returning shots on his own in a fluid motion. Floyd can fight out of the orthodox or southpaw stance. Floyd can press the action, fight on the inside, box from the outside and everything in between. He's the most fundamentally skilled fighter in boxing today. Top 5 all-time defensive fighter. With uncanny accuracy and timing ability. His ability to know what his opponent will do and seemingly react before his opponent has time to initiate his own offense is uncanny. I honestly think Floyd was beaten by a radioactive spider at some point his life. His reflexes are bordering on precognition. Now as for Wlad Klitschko, he is the opposite of everything stated above.
post from other thread can you ever imagine Wlad throwing a punch like this? This content is protected let alone this [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8_kPRkf5eY[/ame] truly a stupid *******
Yes he does have a suspect chin. How does he not? Any time he's been hit flush by a decent puncher he's overreacted or was stunned. And I find him very boring. But I guess it's purely subjective now isn't it?
Manny Steward was imploring Wlad to use the check left hook when Haye was leaping in with no technique. Wlad couldnt do it. He doesnt have the skill.
The bolded parts I'd argue. Wlad showed good head movement vs Haye and Wlad can counterpunch. Wlad also has much better power and better legs. So it's not one way trafic. Floyd is the best in his division, Wlad is the best in his. It's not the skill. He's too cautious. But in the context of HW boxing, where one punch can take you out and where his chin has proven suspect, it's understandable.
Wlad showed good head movement against Haye? do you mean leaning to one side as he skipped backwards? do you watch fights or what? Wlad's counterpunching repertoire consists of a "get away from me!" jab get the fuk out of this thread.
So since Floyd and Hopkins are better skilled, their not as boring ? I agree that Floyd isn't as boring as Klitchsko, but the point is they both do the absolute minimal to win , which = boring , any way you cut it. And Bhop can absolutely put you to sleep at times. Have you seen some of his earlier fights?
