    I completely agree with KidDynamite. These klitards never seem to stop overrating shitschkos. Wlad has made a career of crushing tomato cans, and not only that but he's SCARED to take it to them even though he's so much bigger and more athletic then his opponents.

    I'd like to know how you define 'atheletic'. Although they're good at what they do (obviously), they're NOT "atheletic", rather ROBOTIC. They don't slip, pick off shots, roll.....All they do is lean back or extend a pawing jab or backhand. Also they miss shots and fall into their opponents to get tied up. They don't throw hooks, either, just a one-two. Why does he fall out from "exhaustion" if he's such a world class, well-trained "athelete"?

    Notice he ends that 5 missed punch combo with his trademark leaning technique :lol:, people can delude themselves all they want, he's not and never will be an ATG, this HW era is **** poor and that's the long and short of it of it.

    Wlad is very vascular with an impressive physique but he GASSES. Hard to say he's the most athletic ever.

    I read some where that Jim Jefferies could run 100 yards in under 11 sec. That's pretty amazing for anyone his size especially those days.

    Also, some say Ezzar Charles could do a jumping split. That's very difficult and althetic.

    What criteria exactly are we using to say someone is "athletic"?

    Speed? Balance? Fluidly? Hand eye coordination? Ability to play other sports?

    Michael Grant didn't seem like the most fluid boxer in there, nor especially fast. But he played basketball, football, and baseball in high school, which shows something about his athleticism.

    Mike Tyson was very fast, strong, quick on his feet, fluid in his movements. I've also seen footage of him shooting a basketball and it is an ugly sight. Does that mean he's less "athletic" or just hasn't played much b-ball?

    People can be great in one sport and look like a clumsy oaf in another, which makes it hard to say who is the most "athletic" boxer.

    Athletic: fast feet, fast hands, fast reflexes.

    Sounds more like...Ali.

    I hate Haye and Wlad but Haye didnt even taste the Wlad right hand. The biggest right hand Wlad threw landed on Haye's upper cheek bone,not the chin. Haye has a bad chin and we all know it. Haye ran and Wlad was scared of cruiserweight power=no ko.

    But I doubt Ali would be afraid of Haye.
