    Says the guy who never has a comeback. This is about boxing , it isn't about me or you , so if you have no comment on anything i say , you're better off not commenting at all.

    That video proves that some karate kid with 0 boxing experience looked much better against Wlad then Fury and AJ.
    What a horrible video to dig up. It only makes AJ and Fury looks bad.
    And Jennings actually lost to him omg
    This video puts everything in perspective.

    The video only proves that Wlad was never able to box n move at the same time. Thats what he was trying to do and thats why he looked so poor. It also makes Nelsons story about Usyk boxing circles around him more believable.

    I'm pretty sure there are lots of videos where Wlad boxes and moves at the same time when hes not ancient.
    AJ went live and death with a guy , who was out boxed by a karate kid lol

    Depressed Fury would have still tapped that ass

    Wlad is a big stiff robot who was built for knocking smaller men down

    Just like AJ

    If Wladimir came back now....he would KTFO Fury. The only adjustment he would have to make is to let his hands go. Wladimir by KTFO before round 5.

    A short random clip like that doesn't tell much.

    I don't think you can read too much into a 35 second sparring video. Sparring is, as the tweet said, supposed to help you deal with the fighter you are fighting next - there will be points when you are focused on keeping them out, there will be times when you are trying to navigate through their defence and times when you're actually blending it all together. Watching a brief clip tells you nothing.

    The fact that Fury pulled out of the rematch tells us what Fury really thought about his chances.

    I could see some use of that kind of training to build fluidity, but maybe too late to start that at 40. He should've asked Loma's dad for some dance lessons.

    Dino is so funny. For like 5 or 6 years, he was predicting Klitschko losing, and he guess one right, simply because Klitschko gets too old, but dude, just because you guessed 1 out of 10, doesn`t make you a guy with decent knowledge. It`s complete the opposite.
    Klitschko was starting to fade out, even before Jennings. With Pulev he was throwing so less punched, compare to his previous fights. His jab was gone in hidding, same for the right hand. It was good, that he has such an arsenal and left hook do the job.
    You can easily understand if the boxer/fighter is aging, by his workrate. And Klitschko workrate in his last few fights dropped significantly. He reduce his punches by probably 50% or more.
    Before Wladimir was the guy in Heavyweight that throw the most punches.
    Also Klitschko was one of the most accurate puncher in the division and he dropped in that department too.
    Obviously a sign for aging. It was obvious his stamina is not the same as well. Speed was also lacking, and previously he was like a cat. And i mean both in hands and in the feets. Same for the reflexes.
    In most fighter in his era, they started to decline in their early thirty, while Klitschko keep his shape al ot longer then that, but he is human after all.
    I would also say that hes girlfriend born, he has a kid, a new feeling for him, and this is a big stress and add his girlfriend have some mental problem, and this reflect and help aging as wel.
    So much factors into the the equation. Also i think it was big, big mistake to make Banks his coach. He was there, just because he was Klitschko and Manny friend. But he wasn`t a real coach at all. Even Klitschko himself said, that he alone making his training, and like solo training himself.
    And Banks did zero works to keep the motivation going. It was simply gone.
    Terrible coach. No matter what your name, your coach should be the boss, and say how the stuff needs to work and tell you what to do, not otherwise, like in Klitschko - Banks case.
    A little stats:
    Against Pulev, Klitschko Thrown only 89 punches in the whole fight. Against Fury he Thrown only 231 totall, and most of them was not really a trying to hit punches. Against Joshua he thrown 256 punches. And this was the best possible form he could have get for his age.
    His accuracy was very low as well.

    Against Wach for example Klitschko thrown 693 punches and landed 40% of his punches. Against Haye for example, Klitschko thrown more then 500 punches.

    Anyway it was obvious to anyone unbiased that his workrate/stamina/speed/reflexes are catching his age.
    There is nothing to be ashamed. Most of the HW at his age was a punching bag, and i`m talking about some of the greatest in this sport.
    I don`t see Joshua or Wilder going so strong, till their 39 birthday.

    Let me tell you something, you cant beat the time, no matter what your name is. Will be huge mistake if Klitschko come back to fight again, unless it`s some farewell fight with some no-threat boxer, so he can finish his career with a win and in 65 wins.
    But to comeback and fight even not the best in the division, but this arround them it will be a mistake.
    And if i see Jonathan Banks again in Klitschko corner it will be too much.
