    I just enjoyed a great fight, I'm not going to ruin my Sunday arguing with the biggest piece of **** on this forum that's not named Kevin Willis.

    Yes, watch the replay of 6th round after Wlad KD Joshua, Wlad tries to KO AJ with left hook, and misses with it 5 or 6 times. AJ was prepared for that left, he saw it even when he was hurt.

    Well you just stated the reason. He fought in a weak Era. He fought bums for 11 years. Eurobums who aren't use to a so called successful heavyweight made him out to be more than he was. Wlad has a glass chin (So does AJ). The moment he got knocked out a few times he realized this. His style changed to fighting even worse opponents and grabbing them constantly. The most boring heavyweight champion I ever seen.

    Because he was always so much bigger than everyone else his style was effective he didn't need to learn how to fight on the inside when he had a great jab long reach and one shot ko power. Wlad dominated the division for years I say he did quite well imo.

    Limited but effective. What he does, he does well. He rarely needed to show ability to use inside game, etc.

    The best version of Klitschko, in my humble opinion, causes a lot of problems to many ATG's.... beating plenty.

    In a hypothetical 'premier league' of ATG heavyweights, where each boxer fights each other prime for prime.... I do think Wlad does very well in this hypothetical event. Vitali to for that matter. Both, whilst not atg skill wise, are hard to beat in their prime.

    Guys, I'm not knocking on Wlad for a lack of effort, I think many get this impression here. I think he went out on his shield and full props to him, he showed lots of heart, will and energy, I wouldn't dare to criticize his effort. I am criticizing his performance from a technical standpoint.

    Best post in this **** thread.

    Wlad was 41 years old against a guy with stamina, reach, speed, height, and weight advantage. Wlad did the smart thing and stuck to a tight offense of punches he could land at a low risk of being countered, still wasn't enough, but he gave a great go at it.

    When Wlad was faster than the majority of his opponents and could bounce in and out of range, he had a very huge arsenal of punches and combinations. This dwindled under Stewert and as he aged.
