Why does everyone let Wlad jab them to death?

    I'm no boxing expert, but every fight I see of Wlad's, the opponent stands right in front of him, letting him snap his jab with ease. IMO, his opponents need to fight a bit ugly. Get on the inside, work the body, clinch; rinse wash repeat.

    his jab is just that good. And once you get on the inside, he hugs you to death. Also, his opponents suck.

    No doubt, but don't you think it would be best to get below that jab and work the body inside? I thought Rahman had a decent idea early on when he was getting low, but he still stayed outside.

    Most of them freeze. We have to admit that jab may be the best punch in the sport right now. You're avatar shows what they should do (with more talent). I'm no fighter but i can imagine how it feels to try to go in with that guy. "Oh ****" every time the jab goes in...

    Right, I agree. Peter had the best chance pre-klit. He wasn't (and still isn't) a polished fighter; he was a brawler. The only fighter to take out Wlad is going to be:

    1.) Someone more powerful, and that person doesn't exist today.
    2.) A brawler.

    I think that sums it up and the last part is the biggest reason IMO. His opponents do just suck big time with no talent whatsoever to do anything else but to stand in front of Wlad. Can you imagine Wlad trying to jab a prime Tyson? Tyson would've just slipped and ducked his way in and KO Wlad with the left hook.

    Well...it's more often than not, sharp, crisp and precise. The fighters feel the strength of his jab when Klitschko establishes it from the start and then they hesitate, therefore give it too much respect...

    Because getting hit in the face hurts, and most guys when getting hit at will crumple. A few have got past it, and have won.

    Definitely. I would give a brawler more chance than any technical fighters.

    Sanders, Brewster, Peter...

    Vlad has a powerful jab but his dominance is more than that. He's very dedicated to his jab even when the opponent jabs back. Many fighters will abandon their jab a bit when it does'nt land consistently or the opponent is landing jabs also. Vlad always stays the course. Vlad also hooks well off of the jab which will cause your opponent to hesitate to use their jab. More important than all..............Both Klitschko brothers are masters at managing distance. Some of the best I've ever seen.
