Except that Wlad is much bigger then Floyd and can't do the same things as a guy who is a foot less than him and over 100 pounds less. Wlad doesn't just 1-2 and clinch. He has supreme reflexes and movement that makes it damn near impossible to hit. If you don't see the difference between their sizes and realize that Wlad perfects his size then I get how you don't see the difference.
He was nearly as bad to Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins today. In the past, he's never been that bad for it. I think Wlad is slowing with age and is resorting to holding too much now.
Klitschko dominating tonight had nothing to do with clinching. Klitschko has that same versatility if not more.
Been in now 2 of the worst fights in hw history, last time he never gt invited bk to the US this time he can cross russia of his list
I just wish Klychko could have saved some of that hugging for Hayden post fight rather than display so much between the ropes. Sasha should take pregnancy test.
was a boring fight. I thought the ref shoulda started deducting points from Wlad for leaning and Povetkin for bulldozing. Wlads power is apparent, though, which is why it is so hard to get to him
no..because the US has produced ATG heavyweights that are the envy of the world.....we simply are not impressed by today's weak scene. Name a Euro heavyweight that is better than Ali. The best guy ya'll have was KTFO by Lamon Brewster. It took TWO Klinchkos to beat ONE Chris Byrd:rofl:rofl Jerry Quarry would kill the entire heavyweight division if he were around today.:deal..and he was a second tier fighter in the 70's.
Klitscko was disgraceful tonight. Mayweather dominating Canelo and hardly clinching is better than Wlad's entire career
Klitschko opponents are over matched by size and power. He paws away until it is safe to pull the trigger. Mayweather is usually the smaller fighter and you see an exhibition of masterclass defensive and offensive abilities.
When Wlad gives up some type of physical advantage in his fight, then we can compare. Floyd is always expected to fight bigger and bigger men. Now you have people wanting him to fight a middleweight. And this is a guy who is outweighed by most junior welterweights on fight night.
foreman and frazier were before my time so i can't really speak for him but your 1000 times wrong on tyson. tyson was a highly skilled boxer he would have knocked clinchko out cold at the age of 17. he could bob and weave he had phenomenal speed, footwork, head movement, defense. when tyson was focused and disciplined he was the real deal!! go watch some tyson defensive videos on youtube he will blow your mind, he was a master of the peekaboo technique.
:nut You're delusional. Vlad's defense is SHI.T I hate to remind you but Vlad has been KTFO several times...even by a member of the PGA All Vlad does is back up..What happens if he's behind?:think:think I doubt if he has the tools to walk a guy down to get himself out of a hole. Klinchko's defense is GRAB His plan b is LEAN STRAIGHT BACK:rofl If you're falling into clinches and pulling straight back against today's heavyweights...you won't live long in any by-gone era.:deal
