Is it due to their height or the way they were taught to box? there doesn't seem to be any lateral movement or any head movement whatsoever. I'm not criticising their whole boxing style as they compramise head movement with distance fighting avoiding getting in close and brawling (apart from vitali v lewis). there's a movie clip on this forum which shows an early bowe ducking and weaving a smaller opponent which makes me think that era4era bowe would have been too slick and out punched either of the klit bro's for a late stoppage? any thoughts?
niether one of the klits have good balance and seem to panic when hit with a hard punch especially wladimir
Most tall big guys arent as mobile as say a Riddick Bowe was. Thats what made Bowe so special. Emanuel Steward is the king of making guys like Lewis and Klitschkos take advantage of their height and avoid inside fighting because they cant physically make the movements to fight that way. Thats why you see so much holding on the inside from Wladmir and Lennox during his career. Lennox didnt know how to do that before Steward, and thats why he was getting nailed and hurt as he moved up in competition.
I don't think of Wladimir as being robotic. He isn't the most graceful guy around, but Vitali is by far the more robotic of the two.
Yes,Wlad is not even remotely robotic. I think this guy must have never seen him fight. Vitali, yes, he does fight somewhat robotic. But Wlad................:blood ????
Wlad is a ****ing robotic..lol that is no debate..i hate klitites..talking dumb as usual they are the most two un-fluid boxers ever....Wlad looks goofy and stiff as **** when he moves around the ring(just his legs move and upper body stays stiff with no head shoulder movement). Vitali is just stiff all the way around. Wlad has good legs but looks like a Mike Tyson punch out character the way he his legs move good but the top half stays stiff...lol...I just laugh watching them fight..I mean I try to take them serious..but when I see him throw the same one, two or the occasional left hook. I just laugh....
You can see him thinking...1,2 ....1,2,3 ...lol.....like jab...jab...jab...str8 right hand...jab some more...jab....ha ha left hook...I tricked you...ha ha...I mean it is like predictable as all ****..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAC7NaHFPqM WLAD in a nutshell.but he would of knocked little mac out in 30 seconds or less
NOW you are one dumb mother****er...Marciano the greatest..hahahahahhahhhaahaa...Ali could just beat Frazier..Let me guess you are white...Just a guess...:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Elbow TKO Marciano..low knocked more guys out with elbows then his fists..lol
Vitaly is somehow robotic, but Wlad is realy fluid, its Stuard who tough him to fight like that, look at earlier in his career, he had the best offensive in boxing since LL hes on egal term with him in term of offensive arsenal(except the right uppercut, but he has a better jab)
