Lewis also use only Jab, Cross and left hook? bull**** Lewis had far more punches in his arsenal then Waldi and Lewis looks not so scary at infight. Look the Mercer Fight, there came uppercut, cross and uppercut and works also to the body. When use Waldi a uppercut? He can´t land a uppercut because he is no instinkt Boxer and see no situtaion when he can throw the uppercut. In a fight Prime Waldi vs Prime Lewis, Waldi would get knockedout all the time, because you can´t beat Lewis with only Jab and crab.
Ali, Tyson, Lewis and Wladimir stands alone. Quite hard though to compare ali with the rest since he didn't lift weights and still weighed 100kgs. Wladimir is gifted in terms of frame and height but that's as far as it goes. I think tyson is the most gifted fighter ever. He was alot shorter then everyone he faced and still weighed the same and was ripped with insane speed and stamina. No one will do it like tyoson noone.
Even Haye is more 'athletic' than Vlad. Vlad if anything is just a rigid big man who capitalizes on his size.
It wasn't that short, though. From '85 to '96, physically he was a monster. Wladimir is indeed a very athletic, big man. Probably the kind of guy who would do very well in a number of different sports. The most athletic ever? Don't know if I'd go that far.
I think people really ought to look at someone like Holyfield as well. Not the largest man ever, but physically he was good at everything, as well as being outstanding in one or two areas. I can't think of a specific weak point physically that he had.
He is up there but i would not say ever...I would say Ali is probably the most athleticly gifted HW fighter ever. But Wlad is certainly one of the most dominating of all time.
Tyson is the most athletically gifted, but for someone his size, I think that Wladimir is insanely gifted when it comes to being athletic.
