Is Makhmudov the next Wlad

No chance he can accomplish even a fraction of what Grab Clinchko did...

 

Absolutely not.

 

He’s a homeless version of Wlad.

 

He sucks

 

Wlad at 46 by KO.

 

Wlad could probably beat him now.

 

Wlad had size, power, speed, skills and IQ

Makh has size and power, that's it

I would say prime Ray Austin had better speed, skills and boxing IQ comparing to Makhmudov

 

If Manny Steward was around maybe.

 

Not even close talent wise

 

No. Makhmudov is no where near Klitchko but not many have been in the history of boxing.

Makhmudov is a seek and destroy type fighter still, he wont be doing that stuff to often, it was takams awkwardness.

 

He fights nothing like Wlad. Stop making crap threads.

 

Yes let’s all compare a 10 year undefeated and undisputed HW champion of the world. To a 33 year old prospect who was just given fits by a 41 year old journeyman.

Seems a reasonable comparison guys.

 

He lacks the ability to fight up close like Wlad so relies on manhandling opponents. But unlike Wlad who clinched and leaned to smother his opponents attack, Mahkmudov at least tries to create space to fight back when manhandling opponents up close. So no, Makhmudov isn't like Wlad.

Wlad while a horrible clincher had far more skill than Makhmudov. He'd have KO'ed Takam without too much difficulty in his prime not struggled with him like Makhmudov.
