    Versatile how :qmeparto:

    Look at the guys he's hitting -- no legs , no head movement. They are just standing there like a heavy bag.

    Rahmam was a fossil and lets remember he weighted in with clothes on cos he never trained for the fight as he was called in on short notice. Shot to bits and no training camp!!
    Is this the type of opponent that all time greatness is measured by?? lol Whose the other guy , Leapai , Pianeta? Stop trolling!

    Why was Foremans jab so good? Guys were moving away from him and he still bounced the jab off their head. He herded guys around the ring like sheep using his jab.
    Sometimes it was even too good , like when he blew Holyfield back too far and out of range for the oncoming right hand.

    Wlads jab was one-note and basic. It couldn't land on movers or when guys had head or upper body movement. , he wasn't able to jab going forward or backwards and it was ineffective to pressure which is why he held on and bear boxed so much.

    Just think of what Foreman would do to the likes of Sam Peter or David Haye with his jab. He wouldn't even need a right hand or uppercut to flat line the likes of Leapai or Pianeta!

    He controlled the division for an entire decade of that jab, at that time that was something 8% of the existence of the heavyweight division under MDQ rules. And again, he did it with that amazing, versatile jab which he threw like Sandy Koufax, speed variations, hooking off it with snap, down and up, doubling... a thing a rare and true beauty and effectiveness. The facts don't lie.

    How bout this , if his jab was so great , why not show the footage of it working against the best he fought and not against the worst he fought. ??
    Like Povetkin for example. Joshua who was a relative novice used the jab to grater effect against Povetkin than Wlad did.

    Watch and learn!!

    Because an unbeaten 33 year old Sasha was the same as a 39 year old well-faded Sasha.

    34 actually and the 39 version is better than the ham n eggers that featured in the video you posted.

    39Pov was still a lot better than Sam Peters ghost who was carried into the ring on a wheel barrow for the rematch. And Wlad still couldn't fend him off with this GOAT time jab you speak of!

    https://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/09/steward-was-telling-wladimir-to-stop-clinching-peter/

    See^ The facts don't lie. So it goes without saying that Wlad would've fought like the same octopus against 39Pov as he did against the 34 version.

    Well...Larry actually knocked down Ocasio with a bare left jab. You don't see that happening much with George, though the bigger man did have an amazing jab!

    Larry's jab was overall markedly heavier than Ali's (Larry stepped into it more consistently, for one), and not too far away from George's in terms of weight.
