    I've figured it out.

    Lately I've been very interested in the Sanders fight. Here's why.

    Sanders looks like the bigges ******* at the parent teacher meetings. Still wearing his junior high football patch.

    Yet he took Vladimir out dominatingly

    It's strange to see. Wlad is prime in this video. Sanders looks better than anyone he ever fought.

    This loss was never avanged. Vitali avenged it.

    Sanders didn't even train and wasn't even motivated.

    If this loss happened at any other time in wlads career jt would be devastating.

    Wlad is like Benjamin button, he starts is career old and ends it young.

    Who gets knocked out by a nobody and gasses in the mid rounds in a other at the START of their careers?

    Hindsight is 2020 and I can see clearly that wlad has de aged his career.

    Vlad got smarter. He realized his limitations and developed a style perfectly tailored and well-suited to minimizing his weaknesses and maximizing his strengths. He benefited from the experiences in his early career. You can either allow negatives to break you, or you can turn them into positives. Vlad learned that he could not handle a fast pace. He also learned that his chin wasn't the best. So he developed a cautious outside style, throwing few punches, mostly one or two at a time, not opening himself up much, not overworking himself, with slide backs, maintaining his range, maximizing his natural gifts, and clinching every time anyone got past his range. That style is perfect for his strengths - his height, reach, size, physical strength, and power, and perfect to minimize his weaknesses - inability to fight inside, inability to get hit solidly very much, and inability to handle a fast pace. He controls and dictates fights perfectly, and for the last decade no one has been able to beat him, so you have to give it up to him. He knows how to win a fight. Knowing what you are and what you are not sometimes is as important as anything. Like Clint Eastwood once said in one of the Dirty Harry films, "A man has got to know his limitations." Vladimir Klitschko knows himself very well. Sometimes the key to a successful career is being what you are and not just what you want to be.

    Excellent well reasoned post that needs to be forwarded
    to Termite and his fellow Klitschko cheerleaders.

    Of course wlad knows his limitations. But that just seems too hocus pocus to be an answer

    It was a case of Vlad taking Sanders (who was avoided) lightly and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sanders was a perfect case of more to lose than gain and the dangerous southpaw would have posed the same threat to Lennox but Lennox promotional company knew this (they owned Sanders) Vlad walked into the ring cold and ****y and paid....Sanders was fast,southpaw and could hit and at 6'4 235 pretty dangerous.

    wlad deliberately took sanders because he was a known non-achiever even when prime, but now utterly shot2shyte.

    wlad picking corrie for that reason above, means wlad had corrie in the right place at exactly the right time for an easy win.


    explain what this means. its the world title, whats the difference.

    no, the non-achieving shot2shyte fat gassing retiring ....
    however you got the word "southpaw" right, 10/10 there.

    in his absolute prime, he was destroyed by fellow contender rahman, eliminated from a world title challenge and thus posed ZERO threat to the title.

    however in his worst retired shot2shyte form, he almost unified the world titles of the both Klitschko bros in single figure rounds - so yes he was a MASSIVE threat when shot2shyte worst form ever for the klitschkos, but ZERO threat to lewis when absolute prime.


    no, lewis had barely heard of him, since he was a non-acheiver


    slow, 37, slowest ever version of sanders in fact
