    seriously...if you are 200lbs plus will a trainer teach you upper body movement or defense? because charr looks like he has just been walking onto punches for 4 rounds non stop, he made it so easy for vitali, no bobbing and weaving and counters....seriously you could send a guy with a weeks boxing experience in there with klitschko with firm instructions to move his head/upper body non stop and throw a jab once in a while and hed last longer than charr....

    Its unfair to judge all heavies by a literal bums performance.

    yeah true, just seems ridiculous that not many heavies are getting some good head movement going. not being ridiculous, but when was the last time anyone saw anyone bob and weave like tyson or frazier? (they must have LEARNT it somehow) over a period of 10 years that must be able to become an ingrained reaction/movement...

    Haye has pretty good head movement, but then again i've always felt he was a natural cruiser.

    Chambers has nice head movement and it didn't help him against Wlad. He is much smaller, though.

    Who are some big heavies with good movement?

    The best head movement in the world won't help against the Klits.

    They are masters at dictating distance. Only massive haters or complete morons dismiss their excellence.

    bobbing and weaving moving your head and attacking the body will help a ton vs them

    people make it sound like bob and weave is some sort of silver bullet against any boxer. There is defense against it like against anything else. Vitali is the master of disrupting opponents balance and using their momentum against them. Just watch the fight. Charr tried but he got caught with odd angles. It will take more than that to trouble Vitali.

    Yep. Too many people posting can't process what they are watching. Way too much typing and not enough learning the fight game.
