How Do You Beat Wlad?

Put pressure on him...Every fighter that has done that has beatten him. Had Peter pressed Wlad instead of standing in front of him he would have beat him also. the guys that Wlad have been fighting are timid fighters, guys that arent go get'm types, which is the reason that Steward got Wlad out of the fight with Briggs several years ago, and why they were so happy to move on from fighting Haye.

Crappy fighters Like TOS williamson when pressuring Wlad had great moments.

 

haye is a joke. he'll never beat wlad.

Arreola is a just as big as a fraud imo. Funny how you complain about Wlad's opponents and hype this guy up. His resume is a joke. He's already been dropped by that clubfighter Walker. He's slow, has no defense and doesn't have a great chin. Wlad will destroy him.

Wlad has no legit challengers and that's the way it is right now. I give no one better than a 10% chance again him. Unlike many past champs, he comes in prepared everytime which makes an upset far less likely.

I'd like Wlad to fight Povetkin, Valuev and Chambers in that order. Haye and Arreola will be distant memories by then.

 

You do realize boxing is about skills right?

Haye has the skills to beat Wlad. Does he have the mentality? I don't know.

But the skills are there, and so is the speed and power.

Povetkin would be obliterated. Valuev would be completely outboxed, and Chambers just doesn't have what it takes.

Arreola is crude, but so was Peter.

However, Haye and Vitali are the only REAL legitimate threats.

 

:deal agreed. like i said, wlads discipline/dedication/focus sets him apart from just about every other hw out there (cept for vitali).

arreola is the one that i think is overrated as a challenger. mccline is his biggest win?

id give that 10% chance to haye tho if i gave it to anyone.

 

He's pretty much unbeatable from anything we've seen so far, with exception of Lennox Lewis. Tyson is too small, Ali & Holmes just not big and strong enough. Lennox is the only one, but it's no certainty he could do it. Wlad Klitschko is one helluva fighting machine in the form he's in now.

 

No one can pressure now, he's the one doing the pressuring. Wlad is dictating in there. Haye is a faker and will be slaughtered.

 

Arreola also has a weaker chin, slower and even worse defense than 2005 Peter.

Haye and Arreola aren't any kind of threat in my mind til they beat a legit top 10hw. Their best HW wins are against shot-to-**** gatekeepers in Barrett and Mccline. I'm not impressed at all.

 

agreed, right now no one has a chance, but if we are talking the BEST shot (as slim as that may be), simply coz of his style, id give it to haye.

 

and repeat often

 

I can't imagine Wlad ever losing to this clown

No one is unbeatable but Wlad has put all together now imo. Given the potential challengers out there now, he's a huge favorite against anyone not named Vitali.

 

Step in with your punches, fire away in bunches, body, body, head, huge overhand rights and dive in as you throw. Never let him get set at his range or get into his upright stance, attack him from underneath to the body and uppercut inside... Fast footwork and big commitment to hit him clean on the head. I definitely see Povetkin with a greater chance right now.

 

I respect you as a poster, and hope your right, but I don't think Povetkin has what it takes to beat Wlad. We really don't even know how well he even takes a punch, he's been matched up against the lightest punching top 20 Heavyweights in Bryd, Donald, Brock, and Chambers. I could be wrong, but I think Povetkin will prove to have a weak chin when faced against a puncher, and Wlad will soon give me/us the answer.

 

Don't forget the Wlad had stamina issues in all but the Sanders loss. He didn't pace himself well and it's clear he's learned how to fight tired as he spars many more rounds since Steward took over.

Now, you have to go after him non-stop from the opening bell to have a any kind of chance. Letting Wlad punch himself out on your face isn't the best strategy any more :yep

I find it funny that people still think one good punch can beat him. If that's his opponents' best strategy, Wlad ain't losing again

 

I've been on ESB for a while now, longer than my alias suggests...

And this is the WORST POST I've ever seen on ESB.

First of all, no heavyweight is unbeatable.

Secondly, you're refering to a man who was beaten by Purity, Sanders, and Brewster, and was given hell by Peter.

Vitali is closer to unbeatable than Wlad, even at this stage in his career.
