    Prime Ali never really did that, it was only later in his career did he do that. Unlike Wlad, Ali has a great, battled tested chin.

    Prime Wlad didn't grab & jab and Unlike Wlad, Ali had little power, KO'ing the weakest chinned or poorest stamina opponents.

    are we going to compare primes? or not primes? if you want to talk about a boxer as a whole, then you have to take it all, good and bad, otherwise, don't make generalizations. :thumbsup

    Well he knocked out Liston twice, Frazier, and Foreman. Thats 3 all-time Heavyweight greats right there. Whose the best oppenent Wlad ever knocked out? Wait, I know Chris "Feather fists" Bryd. I dont think anyone could call any of the men I named weak chinned Ali KO'd or TKO'd. And only Foreman had stamina problems out of the three of them.

    By the way, Wlad started clinching his way to victories after Corrie "The Wlad Slayer" Sanders destroyed him in 03, which would make Wlad 27 at the time. His prime just began when Steward got ahold of him 04, even the Wlad nuthuggers will admit that.

    Depending on the style and type of fight depends on what a Klitschko fight will be like. The Wladimir-Austin fight was not lacking excitement but the Ibragimov fight was.

    How could Klitschkos be boring when they KO everyone?

    well you see the thing is by the time the KO happens we are all asleep so we dont get to witness it.

    Boring, they don't lead with thier chins and they jab, which is so much more boring than watching a wonderful hook to the gloves.

    Maybe you are just upset that the "UK" after their names doesn't stand for United Kingdom but Ukraine?

    Feel better now? Who moderates the moderators?

    You're dense?

    Am I quoting enough? Here your arguments fall apart. What most people on ESB hate are the out of shape boxers and Arreola is probably the king of the fatties yet for you he's better than the awful Eastern European claimants. Arreola must possess truly extraordinary boxing skills for you to overlook his work ethic and that he is a "fat slob"?
