the most satisfying victory was against byrd in the rematch. not only did wladimir regain his status as a champ, but he also shut up byrd and some haters who claimed byrd was robbed in their first fight (which was a shutout for wlad). plus byrd and deluded haters, somehow thought he could walk wladimir down because he was tougher. very satisfying win. the most surprising win for me was the ray austin defence. never threw one right hand lol. and the quadruple left hook reminded me of the shotgun sounding punch lewis landed on rahman in their rematch. ouch! as for impressive display of offensive arsenal probably mercer or various other early year fights. wlad is a different beast now. more like mayweather in the heavies, where he is safety first, but unlike mayweather he still delivers nice ko's. and before anyone says he is not like mayweather, yes i do realise mayweather has more overall skills. i was merely refering to how they both have tons of natural ability but prefer to play it safe while breaking down their foes, when they could easily take more risks. but having said that i still enjoy wladimir's different career styles for different reasons :good
it was a safety first dull fight that wlad could and should gone up the gears and ko'd his man much sooner than a 9 rounds retirement .wlad let himself down in my humble opinion he could of looked awesome against a plodder like chagaev:good
Mercer was brilliant, so was the Shufford fight I think. There once was a youtube-video, it was called "Wladimir would Ko Haye" or something like that. It was a video that showed the highlights and the knockdowns Wlad gave to Shufford. If I remember correctly, it was a left hook, a right hook und a straight right. Three knockdowns, three different kinds of punches and an aggressive Wlad. It was almost perfect. Manny Steward has been co-commentator for this fight and you can almost hear him jizzing into his pants so impressed was he back then Although most of them were rabbit-punches, I found the Peter fight very exciting. I knew Wlad was winning but it seemed that Peter could damage Klitschko at any time. Good stuff
