For me it's very hard to rank them by speed and strength, but I'll try to rank them in other boxing components: Power - 1. Wlad. 2.Wilder. 3.Lewis. 4.Bowe. 5.Joshua. 6.Vitali. 7.Tucker. 8.Fury Chin - 1.Vitali. 2.Bowe. 3.Tucker. 4.Joshua. 5.Wilder. 6.Lewis. 7.Wlad. 8.Fury Endurance - 1.Bowe. 2.Fury. 3.Vitali. 4.Wilder. 5.Wlad. 6. Tucker. 7.Lewis. 8.Joshua Work rate - 1.Bowe. 2.Vitali. 3.Fury. 4.Tucker. 5.Joshua. 6.Lewis. 7.Wlad. 8.Wilder Boxing Intelligence/Smartness - 1.Wlad. 2.Lewis. 3.Joshua. 4.Vitali. 5.Fury. 6.Tucker. 7. Wilder. 8.Bowe Clinching - 1.Lewis. 2.Wlad. 3.Fury. 4.Tucker. 5.Vitali. 6.Joshua. 7.Bowe. 8.Wilder Jab - 1.Wlad. 2.Lewis. 3.Bowe. 4.Fury. 5.Vitali. 6.Joshua. 7.Tucker. 8.Wilder Streight right hand - 1.Wilder. 2.Wlad. 3.Lewis. 4.Joshua. 5.Bowe. 6.Vitali. 7.Tucker. 8.Fury Right hook - 1.Wilder. 2.Lewis. 3.Joshua. 4.Wlad. 5.Bowe. 6.Vitali. 7.Tucker. 8.Fury Left hook - 1.Wlad. 2.Bowe. 3.Joshua. 4.Lewis. 5.Vitali. 6.Fury. 7.Wilder. 8.Tucker Right uppercut - 1.Bowe. 2.Lewis. 3.Joshua. 4.Vitali. 5.Fury. 6.Tucker. 7.Wilder. 8.Wlad Total points (the lesser is the better): 1. Lewis - 38 2-3. Wlad and Bowe - 39 4. Vitali - 47 5. Joshua - 50 6. Wilder - 58 7. Fury - 60 8. Tucker - 65
Boxing Intelligence/Smartness - 1.Wlad. 2.Lewis. 3.Joshua. 4.Vitali. 5.Fury. 6.Tucker. 7. Wilder. 8.Bowe The other areas are subjective but that's plain wrong.^ Wlads fight IQ was extremely mediocre. He was pre-programmed to repeat the same tactic over and over and if the fight went off script he was totally clueless. An inexperienced novice Joshua with only 19 fights displayed a higher ring IQ when they fought. Tyson Fury had him figured out before the bell rang.
Got any evidence to prove that? Did Wlad ever knock anybody down with the jab like Lewis did with Morrison? Did Wlad ever buckle the knees of an opponent equal to Vitali Klitschko with a jab?
I agree with you to certain extent. However I'm taking into account not only the smartness inside the ring, but also the smartness of developing and running the right training process and using your strength while hiding your weaknesses. If it was boxing IQ only, Fury would probably be #1.
How many times Wlad was outjabbed in a fight? Once - against taller and much younger Tyson Fury. Lewis was also outjabbed by younger and taller Vitali, but not only by him. He was also outjabbed by much shorter and older Ray Mercer and Frank Bruno.
I'll add one more component that will change my rankings - Killer Instinct 1.Wilder. 2.Bowe. 3.Joshua. 4.Lewis. 5.Vitali. 6.Tucker. 7.Wlad. 8.Fury Therefore, total points: 1. Bowe - 41 2. Lewis - 42 3. Wlad - 46 4. Vitali - 52 5. Joshua - 53 6. Wilder - 59 7. Fury - 68 8. Tucker - 71
Wlad never fought any good jabbers apart from Fury. He got jabbed badly by a shot to absolute bits Ray Mercer and his face showed the evidence of it. Ray Merver wasn't even ranked and had no legs under him which makes it even worse. Lewis put jabbing clinics on against Tua and Morrison. Wlad would not be able to keep either of those guys on the outside with his jab and would be wrapped all over them like an octopus. Bowe and Lewis easily had a better jab than Wlad.
Another component - Dedication. 1.AJ. 2. Wlad. 3.Vitali. 4.Wilder. 5.Lewis. 6. Tucker. 7.Bowe. 8.Fury. Therefore, total points: 1. Lewis - 47 2-3. Wlad and Bowe - 48 4. AJ - 54 5. Vitali - 55 6. Wilder - 63 7. Fury - 76 8. Tucker - 77
