They've speculated he was using other substances also! povetkin massive increase in power is one of the most suspicious things in boxing and everyone knows it
I said if they can land with power. Ortiz wasn't landing with a lot of power so. Power that doesn't land, doesn't count.
Give me timing and accuracy with decent power and speed over being simply the hardest hitter. Lots of people say Ortiz hits the hardest of the current set of HW but with his plodding footwork against Scott he struggled to get that power to make an impact. Tyson was a hard puncher, but what made him devastating at his peak was the timing, accuracy, volume and speed of his power shots. He made each one count.
Parker. He made that granite block called Dimitrenko fold in half and cry like a toddler with a tap to his ribs. That folks is serious power!
Well Dimitrenko is quite soft chinned. He once collapsed in his dresser right before the fight, without taking a punch: http://sportbild.bild.de/fotos/stand-dimitrenko-ohnmacht-14929348/Bild/3.sport.jpg
I still think Wlad hits the hardest. But he's past his best and landing that power with consistency is getting harder, he was taken the distance in his last 2 fights, not something that has happened before. Joshua clearly hits hard and has to be up there in terms of power as well along with Ortiz, Price, Haye and perhaps Wilder.
Like he used to? As in when? He was gun shy going all the way back to when he fought MaCline in 2002 and had been ever since. But what would you know about it.. The only Wlad you know is the version that's exists in your head.
You're more of an erratic and IRRATIONAL hater than I am a fanboy. So what would you know? Pot meet kettle.
what is your point Dino? are you disagreeing Wlad hits hard compared to the top guys? I think Haye, Wilder and AJ could hit harder than Wlad but to say Wlad isn't right up there with these guys is creating a version of Wladdy that only exists in your mind you emotionally invested Wlad hater. stop being so jealous of the Wlads success over the years.
