    Dont let them eastern euros see this. **** like running and jumping is not athletic. :rofl You have to be able to dry hump a grown man on the ground or just look muscular.

    i agree.

    it's laughable to suggest that Wladimir Klitschko is a freakish athlete. he's powerful. but he sometimes looks so f'ing clumsy and oafish(as you put it.) plus he's got rather short legs and short arms for his height and is extremely bulky. i can't imagine how awkward he'd look next to NBA men, who are much lankier and leaner in physique.

    see shawn kemp, vince carter, jordan, dwight howard, olajuwon, dominique wilkins, dennis rodman, rip hamilton, garnett(all of whom are taller than wlad).

    see shawn kemp if you wanna see a freakishly athletic big man. he's near 7'0. he was more athletic than the enitre currently active HWs all put together.

    First NBA players are the best athletes on the planet. Even NFL'ers will tell you this.


    But we're talking about the best athletes in boxing....a sport that doesn't have the best athletes. Name me 10 HW's who are/were more athletic than Wlad? He's certainly more physically imposing than anyone tyson ever fought or Ali for that matter.

    You can't expect him to move like floyd or Ray leonard but his talent, on a man that tall and heavy is still ****ing amazing.


    He's no Lebron or Vince Carter but those dudes make guys like T.O. look like stiffs in comparison.

    To continue my point, there's only a handful of fighters than you can even compare to athletes of other sports and that list starts with Roy Jones and Mike Tyson. To start throwing out names like Dwight Howard is pretty unfair.

    You ask me to explain what Floyd has that Manny lacks as an athelete?

    The reason why manny lost fights so early in his career was because he did not know how to nutrition his body properly, this is not the sign of a pure athelete. FACT

    When Mayweather entered the sport of boxing he was seen to have pure natural atheletic ability that would get him far in this sport. We see this by him holding onto the p4p number 1 position for so long. This same natural athelitic talent was earlier seen in roy jones jr, who also held the p4p title for a long while. You could not have said this about Pacman at this time.

    No way when Pacman enter the ring in the first half of his career was he ever considered a natural athelete. I tell you this a natural athelete does not get hit as much as pacman does in the ring.

    Why does Mayweather have one of the highest connect percentage in the ring as well as getting hit the lease? His natural atheletic ability allows him to do so thats why.

    Floyd has always been a natural athelete, as for pacman he has Become a well rounded athelete that has now seen his career peek twice.

    Floyd has only needed to peek once, which is the sign of a natural athelete that is not on drugs. lol.

    Like him or not he has god given talent that would allow him to better adapt to many other sports. Could you really say this about pac?

    Ill give you a suggestion if we look at Mayweather and Manny in their prime years who was a better athelete in the ring and out it?

    When we have athletes like the fellas in the poll, and others like Dawson, Gamboa, Calderon, old Roy Jones, Quintana, Collazo, Berto, and others - who are ALL better athletes than Wladimir Klitschko, I can't see why he's worth mentioning. Sergio Mora is a better athlete than Wladimir Klitschko, FFS..

    I see that Pac is winning this poll not a surprise at all lol.

    Answer me this, if Pacman was such a PURE ATHELETE which is what the pole is about. Then how come he has got hit so much in his career, and has struggled with weight?

    This is not the sign of a PURE ATHELETE that has chosen a career in a particular sport.
