:rofl@ A level defense. And an A+ jab means he has a jab on par with Ali and Holmesatsch This thread= ydksab
Wlad is A+ talent, with average chin, but he thinks its glass so he hugs every time he gets touched. He has all the tools to be one of the most loved and good to watch fighters but his mentality is problem, his safety pin...
His stamina is C at best, but for guy his size that expected, fact that you think his stamina is B is because he contorls his output with clinching half of the round, just watch him vs Brewster when referee didnt allow him to control tempo of the fight by clinching, he was forced to throw more and he gassed, that exactly why I;m 100% sure Vitali would KO him late(when prime) Vitali can just throw and throw and Wlad would have to throw non stop to keep him of him and would gas, and off course he would not be able to manhandle Vitali who is bigger so he would not take a break by clinching any time he was( This content is protected )
Marius Wach is barley good enough to call himself a journeyman ,but that is the sort of lowly contender it takes to make Wlad look good. When he fights high ranked contenders like Povetkin he puts in the most disgraceful performance in the sports history because that is the only way he can win. Thats why he is gone back to bottom feeding with Leapai. Wlad is a C leveler and would be only a fringe contender is past ears.
Ward's inside game is D+? His inside game is one of the best aspects of his game. What the ****? Ward will probably be the best @ SMW after he hangs them them up. 6-7 more years to go.
No not exactly He was only talking about how commentating is his second passion. He isn't going to retire. He's talking about fights with Chavez/GGG/Hopkins though.
The wladimir klitschko era destroyed the pro-boxing. 1.Destroyed the great american boxing tradition. 2.Destroyed every other good thing in boxing also. He's a king of nothing.
The problem for the Klischos is that they have not had the opportunity to compete against truly great opposition. Only Vitali had one chance to do so against an old and out of shape Lennox Lewis. Although in top shape, Vitali fell short of being capable of defeating the well past prime Lewis and this fight remains Vitali's career defining match. Vlad, on the other hand has never faced a great fighter. To date, all of his opponents have been B level contenders. This is probably due to neither Klit having the opportunity to meet in the ring with this era's most talented HW fighters; David Tua and Ike Ibeabucchi. Both of these fighters in their prime had skills equal to or exceeding those of both Klitschos.
Vladimir Klitschko is a very underrated fighter on this board by some, but Vladimir was the very best according to Steward.................and many other experts. Vlad didn't win the gold medal by being the worst fighter in boxing history........... According to some, Solis is a great heavyweight, after all, he is going to fight Thompson whom Vlad knocked out two times!!! Vitali knocked Solis out with a right hook to the temple, Solis claims it was his knee, but the video proves he is a liar................Vitali knocked Solis down, and only after Solis was knocked down did he claim a bad knee. Solis knee was fine until Vitali knocked him down..........Wilder refused to fight Thompson, Fury and Chisora. Chisora knocked Scott out so now Wilder decided he wanted to fight Scott. Scott punches like a woman, still not ranked, yet there are some who claim that Wilder has fought only the top heavyweights. LOL! Rumors are that Scott will make more money if he loses the fight...........how sad....................I would not be surprised if the rumor is true.............
Wlad is one of the greatest heavyweight fighters to ever don boxing gloves. He is the youngest fighter to win heavyweight weight gold at the Olympics at age 20 and had been the dominant heavyweight champion now for nearly eight years. He has bested Larry Holmes and is threatening the immortal Joe Louis for length of title supremacy. He is hated and disrespected on this forum because he is Eastern European and his skin pigmentation lacks melanin.
Skier if anything the USA would praise him because he is white. George Foreman won the gold at 19 so you have no real point. Defending your title for 8 years against F ranked cookies is only impressive to Euro trash which I am assuming you are. When he faces a real opponent and win. And not hug **** another man to death I will give him some credit.
Too much hate here Face it, the EURO guys have you all backing up. but there is such a thing as class
