Are the Klits bro's defensive wizards to?

Briggs landed 28% of power punches against Vitali, with one good arm. Gomez and Peter landed a combined 30% of power punches. Thompson landed 42% of power shots against Wlad. Ibragimov landed 45%. Rahman landed 27%, despite being shot. They aren't defensively that good and the numbers show that, when you take into account that not one of the above are fast or technically impressive.

The bottom line is though, even if they did get hit much less than that, so what? They're fighting no hopers. They should look brilliant.

 

Both have lossed via KO or TKO, do they not?

 

The only true great fighter either have fought, landed a massive 46% connect ratio.

I think their supposed 'elusiveness' is a combination of their ability, their physical advantages and the ineptitude of their opposition.

 

Klitchkos get hit more than floyd even though the Klitschkos are fighting people with a much smaller reach than them, and shorter as well.
And fat.

 

Floyd is not half a foot taller then everyone he fights, nor does his defense rely entirely on hugging and an illegal stiff arm.

 

Yeah, its very hard to hit a guy who is eight inches taller than you and keeps his jab in your face religiously without over-committing. Who can make a Klit pay for backing straight up? Only the other brother is coordinated enough and big enough to do that.

Floyd is often working at a height and reach disadvantage, his defense is not solely based on being bigger and stronger than his opponents. The coordination with which he moves at the waist is some of the best stuff since Pernell.

 

atsch

No its not.

Haye has the best KO% of any HW champion in history.

Neither of them has the best KO% of any HW of any era, you ******.

 

Vitali has a higher Ko%, (by like .27347324)

Thats why Vitali is fighting another small fatass, wants to keep making that % rise, he doesn't want a challenge.

 

Haye has only fought in a few heavyweight fights so that's easily debatable. All of Vitali's fights were at heavyweight and has had a lot more fights than Haye period, much less in the heavyweight division.

 

No he dosent

Vitali Klitchko has KO% of 88.37%
David Haye has KO% of 88.46%

Yeah well if you start making some stipulations on that record, it’s not the same record.

Vitali doesn’t own the record of highest KO% of any heavyweight champion in history. However he might own the record of "highest KO% jdroy1986 has counted with his extra stipulations"


Plus if we start thinking number of fights and other extra stipulations, shouldn’t those hold against Vitali also.

For example Foreman has almost double the amount of fights that Vitali has (81 bouts), against much higher caliber of opponents Vitali has fought, so shouldn’t he be leading whole thing with his 83.95% KO percent?

Or does the stipulations of the record change all the time, so Vitali can hold some bogus record in your mind?

 

I wouldn't call them slick. I don't consider Winky and Clottey to be slick either.

Floyd's defense is based upon skill and reflexes, whereas the Klitschko's merely use their height and reach to negate their opponents offensive capabilities.
