Lewis used the same tactics as Wlad

:thinkWow, a cognitive thought from a Klitschko hater:huh


IDK, but somehow, you posted the exact same thing I was going to post, except for that nonsense about running from a midget. That didnt happen, outside a few times when feet were tangled/stepped on.

Yes, Lewis would use the hold or lean, the jab and grab effectively in the normal flow of a fight, but he would promptly drop the tactic when he sensed the upper hand. When Lewis saw an advantage, he would promptly move to the outside, where he would use his height to place 1-2s and lead OH R hands into face of his flailing opponent.

At times, Wlad has done this as well. But other times, he has simply done nothing, outside of the jab and grab and lean.

Sometimes, I wonder just how much confidence he has in his stamina. In the Brewster fight, he dominated 4 rds of action, even though you could clearly see in the 4th that his eyes were glazing. And we all know how the 5th went. With him nearly dead on his feet from the first minute.

He started that fight much the same as he started the Potevetkin fight, except without any of the bravado he seems to have these days. He utitlized the grab and lean effectively, without excess, just like Lewis did, and began asserting himself just like Lewis would have. But, after a dominant rd, he fell off.

I wonder sometimes if that's why he doesnt stop the tactic until his opponent is nearly if not completely finished.:think

 

Um, no......Did you watch the Tyson fight? It was disgraceful all the holding, clinching, grabbing, pushing, etc he did. He always clinched and leaned/pushed Steward would tell him to do this between rounds you can hear it plain as day. :rofl

 

Yes, he did to a certain extent. I clearly remember Lewis being booed in many of his fights for his boring tactics.

Doesn't mean Wlad isn't a c*nt though.

 

Lewis was not in trouble against Mike Tyson! He uses the same tactics to tire Tyson up.

 

What's your point and what has that got to do with Wlad hanging onto Povetkin for dear life?

 

Tyson had a beast of a reputation, no wonder lewis was pulling out all the strings.

and wlad was ok doing it because according to klittards, povetkin is the new Tyson. What a joke. you laugh at yourself.

 

their is no comparison. Look at Wlad's last 10 fights and look at Lewis's last 10 fights.

does LL clinch as much as Wlad?
does LL throw more punches?
does LL provide more excitement?

The reaso Wlad is hated on so much for this is that he is doing it against guys that can't hold a candle to him. He is in phenomenal shape, has fast hands and huge power.....but refuses to be aggressive against these guys?

I honestly think that he would have KO'd everyone of his last 10 fights inside 6 rounds if he was even 40% more aggressive.

thats whats frustrating to boxing fans.

 

Lmfao @ disgraceful. U talk like lewis did that to Tyson for all 12 rounds lol. Look you knuckle head lewis did clinch a lot vs Tyson in the first 4 rounds but guess what? The ref deducted a point away from lewis and warn lewis he'll be dq if he continue to hold so after that around the 5th or 6th round lewis barely was holding and it was Tyson that was holding cause Tyson was already tired. Wlad was clinching way way way too much from rounds 1 to 12. Lewis finish Tyson and ko Tyson in the 8th round while Wlad didn't ko Povetkin which Wlad could've but wlad was afraid to go for the kill because he was Afraid of getting hit.

 

Lennox, Vitali and Vlad all use that holding/grabbing tactic, and that's why I think they all suck.

People who like Lennox are fans who watch today's fights but have never actually seen any of Lennox's fights apart from the one with Vitali, in which neither man could clinch.

 

Lennox Lewis was bad enough, but Wlad's even worse.

People who talk about how great and exciting Lewis was but hate Wlad's style are a little bit hypocritical, imo.
Maybe they don't remember Lewis. He had some exciting fights, but he had plenty of bad ones. Grabbing, leaning, holding-and-hitting, and lumbering around on the back foot was a large part of his game.
I liked his fight with Briggs though, that was very good.

 

I've seen every one of Lewis's fights and I don't even know what you're talking about. Yes, he clinched when thought he was in trouble and someone got inside, but it wasn't his main weapon of choice. Didn't see him clinch against Ruddock, or Golota, that's for damn sure.

 

Remember Lewis vs Akinwande? That was a barn burner!

 

Lewis-Tua was terrible.
Lewis-Holyfield 1 was pretty awful really, the robbery controversy actually deflected the issue of what a timid fight it was.

 

The problem with Wlad is the same as its always been. He can't handle getting hit and he was afraid to be hit by Povetkin. His face swells and cuts easy and his chin is bad. That is why he fight like a scared p*ssy.

 

Another thing Lewis did was wear his protector up really high. In that Holyfield fight it was up almost to his chest.
