Far and away the worst and most pathetic post of 2018, that says a lot being ther terrible of a post. 1st: wlad is without a doubt one of the best punchers in the history of the sport. Who could seriously ruval him ? Lewis and that's IT. Their size, speed and agility ALONE separates them and rules out 99.999999% of past fighters. 2nd: that shot wlad landed in the 6th wast landed perfectly, and that was all body from the feet through the knees with complete hip rotation all the way through the shoulder and elbow snap. Anyone trying to argue the validity of that shot should be immediately relinquished of posting rights on here because that person is the utmost ignorant towards boxing. 3: that straught right was a knock out shot, try finding a better one that anyone survived through. Also that shot was landed what followed 2 mins of being in and OUT on his feet while being beaten from pillar to post all around the ring. I was more than shocked of the chin Aj proved he had along with his heart and will to win. Fact: AJ has a granite chin and anyone trying to debate this fact is a fool. We have the proof which is the reason it's a FACT he's got a legit CHIN. The left hook DW landed of AJ was ALSO A KNOCK OUT SHOT. AJ walked right intoba perfect full bore left hook. Those temple shots are a wet dream for fighters. Thode are on the level of the true CHIN shots, (chin shots, meaning catching one on the chin AT THE END OF THE NERVE ENDINGS). So many fake ass fans are simple pathetic Trolls, that's also a fwct
Amazing long post you typed here. Lol it cracks me up when guys like you get hurt over some person TV who doesn't know you exist. The need to defend these people because you have nothing going on in your life. Dillian Whyte wasn't moving backward and that punch barely landed flush. Yet AJ was badly hurt by it. Whyte couldn't even hurt David Allen with his power or Dereck Chisora with his power. As I said Wlad hit Everett Martin with those same punches in 2 fights and never remotely hurt him. Wlad hit Ross Puritty with everything besides the kitchen sink and couldn't hurt him. Wlad is a good puncher but not nearly has big of a puncher as Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Tommy Morrison, Lennox Lewis, Razor Ruddock, David Tua, and countless others. Yet a glancing punch from a 41 year old timid Wlad almost knocked out AJ? A fat 40 year old George Foreman with slow reflexes was able to knock down Everett Martin with one punch. As I stated Wlad couldn't even make Martin blink with his power. Dudes like you and your lack or knowledge of the sport crack me up. Go back to hero worshiping AJ and trying to build him up. But you don't know what you are talkng about.
I don't like the "X too Y's best shots flush, so why did Y's best shot put Z to sleep?" argument. Different punch, different context. It's the same as "Danny Williams beat Tyson, Tyson beat Ruddock, so Williams beats Ruddock".
Lol you know Mike Tyson was past his physical prime when he fought Williams right? So if you want to try to compare fighters at leats use 2 fights in their primes. Wladimir was in his prime when he fought Martin 2 times mind you. He landed numerous flush punches againt a out of shape washed up Martin and couldn't remotely hurt him. Foreman was out of shape and pushing 40 when he fought a 20 something in shape Martin. Yet Foreman was able to knock him down and almost out with one punch. You can only use this fighter knocked this guy and another one couldn't if both fighters landed their best punches. Hell as I said Foreman was old and slow and had a tendecy to try avoid hurting his opponents when he came out of retirement. Yet he could still knock down Martin? So even old Foreman up until I would say the Moorer fight was a bigger puncher than Wlad ever was.
Femi's got a bad chin trust me. As i've said i don't base that on the fact that David Price knocked himn out and he needed help to get out of the ring. We have seen non punchers like dilldo whyte rock him bad and also that russian.
I like most of your post, but is that how it works? Punch the nerve endings? Happy to be proved wrong, but I thought it was more to do with the nerves nearer the brain being interrupted, than the nerve endings.
Er, yeah, my point was that it's spurious to say fighter A can beat fighter B just because fighter C, who was beaten by fighter A, beat fighter B. You basically posted what I said.
He does stiffen up when clipped. I'm certain Parker will tag him at some point and have a window when he can get the KO, although it might only be fleeting like in the Whyte fight. We saw vs WK that Joshua can recover from being badly hurt if you slacken the pace on him. Parker is going to have to be ruthless and brave to stop him.
Its not bad imo, he can be hurt and I think Whyte can crack with his left hook more than most on here think, but its not an area I think hes overly weak in Joshua. Their massive guys now, getting sparked in sparring is f all in the grand scheme of things. I hope Parker proves me wrong
Browne didn't see that punch coming and had already taken a lot of damage. Joshua has proven he can take a shot though, he sucked up some big right hands from Wlad in their fight, not just the one that put him down
Regarding your points: 1. Emanuel Steward said Wlad is harder puncher than Lewis, their common opponent Phil Jackson said Wlad hit MUCH harder than Lewis with both hands, and their common sparring partner Kevin Ford said Wlad hit harder than Lewis as well. Considering the fact that Lennox Lewis in considered among the hardest punchers ever, Wlad should be definitely in the mix too. 2. Wlad's left hook is his best puch, so I tend to agree here. But he rarely landed right that was better than the one he landed in Joshua fight. 3. What's your point here? Everett Martin had very good chin unlike Levi Billups. Lennox Lewis went the distance against glass-jawed bum Levi Billups, whom shot Witherspoon, Sanders and Jeremy Williams knocked out in the first round. Does that mean Lewis can't punch? 4. Lucas Browne is awful, but knocking out 265 lbs man who was never stopped before shows that Whyte has some power.
It was an improved Whyte throwing a full force hook against Browne. Joshua seems to have an average chin, but showed good heart and survival instincts against Wlad.
People live in the past. They think Marciano, Louis, etc, who would have been cruisers hit harder than giants like Lewis or Wlad lolz.
