    It is so "funny" that you don't give any credits to Wlad (boring, scared, stiff, robotic, only jab, can't take a punch, etc.) and then you discuss all day long, why his opponents can not get past his jab and get sparked.
    Some of these comments are just silly beyond beleif: "...they get their shot and then just stand in front of him waiting to be knocked out."
    The truth is simple. You can not see it, because you don't want to; he is much better than you think and he has a great jab.

    Why can't they get past it? Cause it's one of the best jabs in HW history. You can bob and weave all you want, doesn't help if you don't see the jab coming.

    David Haye is a counter puncher, and against bigger guys he fights **** scared....

    David Haye is not a swarmer...

    LoL White Tyson failed.

    It's a bob & weave with zero forward aggression, if I remember correctly. That just makes it useless.

    I didn't say he was a swarmer, I said he has the best skill set in terms of elite heavyweights with a chance to fight a Klitschko.

    I've also said on numerous occasions that I'm pretty sure he's going to get dominated.

    It's also easier to do when you don't reset after slipping the jab which Chagaev seemed to do all night until the end.

    Watch how Chagaev fights Valuev. He doesn't know what to do inside and has to stand at punching range to figure out what to do.

    Another dumb comment: "Yeah, that's the idea, because he has no offense or defense when you rush him and he starts stumbleing backwards in that robotic uncoordinated manner. He's there to be hit easily. You throw 2 puches to get him to start backing up, and you have to be walking towards him while you're throwing to close the distance, and then when you're up close let em rip. He's there for them."
    Hmm, so it is that easy to hit him, yet he did not get hit cleanly once by Chambers, who easily beat Peters and knocked down Dimitrenko twice. When you totally lose connection with reality, you get meaningless.

    Prime Tyson could have done it, but there aren't any with that skillset out there.

    hmmm this point is way off because the klits have fought everyone under the sun in the heavy division and wlad jumped at the oppurtunity to fight david haye who then cowardly backed out, the bottom line is the klits are just that good that they make this heavy era seem that bad and nobody wants to admit to it because their white

    Yep, that was my opinion as well when I saw the fight. I don't thnk Chagaev was 100% that night. He took the fight on very short notice and I don't think his hepatitis was adequately managed at that point. He showed more heart than the other recent southpaw victim: Thompson, who, at 6'5, should have done more than what he did.

    They all try & believe they can win...until they get hit. As soon as they taste the first powerful shot they go into defensive mode for the rest of the fight. That's when the game plan goes out the window & it's only a matter of time before they are worn down & generally KO'd.

    Because today's HW aren't that good and the Klitchko's are taking advantage of a weak HW division!!!

    Well, Arreola tried to be aggressive....but stupidly. No real head movement,etc. Just tried to full on charge Vitali. I think Arreola's camp underestimated how well Vitali would move away.
