Wladimir is a flat footed robot? I guess you haven't seen his recent footwork. Who am I kidding, you probably haven't seen a full fight...................:yep
What gets me is how the Klitschkos are on top yet so many say that "Haye is the savior of the division" so........ The klitschko fight **** guys in the division, yet if Haye were champ and fighting the same guys, the HW division is alive again? WTF:huh:huh
Almost true. Max wasn't a bum but he wasn't "all that" either. He was a decent fighter in a weak era. Joe LOuis was a great fighter in a weak era.
huh? what is this "recent footwork" bs? he utilizes decent footwork to keep his opponents at range and jab and jab and jab away. are you referring to wlad's backing up across the ring as Chagaev tried to get inside? :rofl:rofl get your **** right. atsch what is it with these klit nuthuggers and their obsession with klit's footwork? the guy can't fight in angles, can't position him to throw a half-proper uppercut, can't effectively double/triple his jab, can't fight off the backfoot, lefthook is often half-assed. face it, this guy is no technician. wanna see good footwork? watch hopkins, calzaghe, donaire, ricardo lopez, larry holmes etc.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Doesn't surprise me one bit either. Wlad throws some of the best straight punches ever, including the jab, of which he has an ATG version. He KO'd Austin with one hand, the left hook, without even throwing the right. He threw many uppercuts against Thompson, who had a tendency to lean in so it called for it. Footwork is about maintaining distance and the proper ANGLE to throw your best punches. It's also about keeping your yourself moving so you don't create a sitting target for your opponent. Wlad is quite "fleet of foot" and he moves around very well.
Yeah they are both very overrated, Vitali has done nothing to be considered an ATG, and Wlad nuthuggers were falling all over themselves after Wlad beat a very faded Chageiv who was mediocre to begin with.
Yes they are very over rated. I don´t rate them high at all. They shouldn´t be mentioned in the same room as Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Frazier, Marciano etc, etc. Today the HW division is dead, we need Haye! The Predator
