Im sorry, bro. It is. Now again, don't mistake what Im saying as Rahman being a better fighter than Wlad. I'd never say that, just look at my AV. Wlad would murder Rahman in no time. But we're talking about jabs here. But, watch any of Rahman's fights. Say perhaps, the one against Tua, and you'll see a jab that's a thing of beauty. It's got reach and accuracy, and he lands it hard. Rock's jab is practically a power punch.
Not true. Rahman's is above average but not on the level of Wlad's, Larry's, Lennox's or Joe Louis for that matter.
Wlad has time for a voluntary fight before his mandatory which will be the winner of Povetkin vs. Chambers.
You need to see the jab that disfigured Brock's face everytime it connected. Even Brock's ears were flapping back and forth. Wlad's got a powerful jab, maybe not a fast a Holmes, but when he connects, there is an explosion.
Rahman does have a stellar jab, his fists our huge which some people correlate that with ability to generate more punching power, Liston had huge fists as well. I still think Wlad got a better jab, but Rahmans is not to far off in power IMO.
Watch how Wlad's jab snaps Mercer's head back every single time he throws it.......................same against Brock, Peter, etc. His 1-2 in the 2nd Byrd fight knocked Byrd down so fast that you almost didn't see both punches! Byrd's back slapped the mat so hard it made a noise like the WWF!
Holmes jab was better, basically that´s all he had while Wlad also has a powerful right hand to follow up.
He's 100% right. My 6 year old son was watching the slow motion replay with me and first Wlad lands a jab and Brock's face distorts a little with his ears falpping but then he lands that right hand and Brock's mug looked like a cartoon underwater! It was like the skull only moved a little but the skin moved a lot. My boy was cracking up it looked so funny. YouTube should have the whole ending with the slow motion shots at the end.
Holmes' jab was overall better, though Wlad's jab was stronger. Holmes, Liston and Ali had great jabs. I ****in hope Ibragimov signs to fight Wlad.
