Versus Wlad maybe, but what about his 30+ other fights? Are you telling me Thompson didn't earn his shot? The IBF said he did...........didn't he win an eliminator? Whatever. If you think Tony's a robot than you need to see him beating Krasniqi easily. Wladimir was the first & only guy to knock out Thompson too. Give credit where credit is due.
you certainly didnt clarify you was talking about kessler... and like i said robots are concidered stiff 1, 2 punchers,,, kessler moves well and throws gracefull combos that are sharp and accurate not stiff and robotic
The Klit robots are used to fighting slow lumbering heavyweights and they like it that way because they know they'll probably win. Whilst appearing confident on the outside(in Vitali's case at least) they both know that Haye is a geniune threat to their robotic hegemony
............and you don't appreciate Wladimir's lateral movement? Vitali uses all kinds of angles in his defense as well as his offense. VK throws punches from all possible angles. You really don't see that? :huh
I see it. But for the whole fight, all you're getting is a boring robot throwing hooks and keeping you off with jabs. Very boring & robotic.
Well I see a good, well trained killing machine that gets the job done regardless of the style of his opponents. He dictates the pace, range & goes in for the kill. What's not to like again?
Honestly, he's just too robotic for me. But the fact that the division is still weak doesnt help him out either.
Johnson, Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Holmes & Tyson all ruled weaker divisions than today's. Very few fighters in HISTORY were more robotic than Holmes, and he didn't get the KO a good part of the time. Doesn't mean that he wasn't a good boxer with an all time great jab does it?
people that knew what they were talking about knew the slick southpaw would cause Wlad problems, and he did.... tony isnt slick for a 135 lber but for 6'6 yeah he moves his head very well, and i think he gave wlad a better fight than haye would
tyson was concidered in his prime, by most, before he got kod by douglas.... if you look at who tyson was facing though they was complete nobodies.... i think he is a little overrated in that sense.. wlad would have destroyed all of those opponents like he has his top ten opponents by kos
