Wlad P4P material? Hell No! Never was.

This coming from a scumbag who makes fun of fighters medical conditions who's ethnic backgrounds offend him like Magomed Abdusalamov.

 

A half breed Korean mixed with militant black blood How does it feel knowing your IQ regressed to the far left of the bell curve, poor you , must have a difficult time finding jobs when your TRUE Korean brethren have IQ's over 105 and are worthy candidates for employment, unlike you :hi: They must really hate you :rofl

 

I'm sorry, I was under impressions that Lewis defeated Henry Akiwande. Thanks for letting know that I was wrong all these time.
Yes or no, did Lewis not tore Vitali's into shreds. Be honest.

 

Your intelligence level isn't very high, then.

An ant has a completely different breathing system and muscular arrangement to a dog, which only works because it is so small. A dog-sized ant would immediately collapse under its own weight and die of suffocation.

Yeah, I'll take Fido :hi:

 

Lewis and Akinwande engaged in a Greco roman wrestling match and Lewis was dropped, although missed by the referee in the process.

Did he beat Vitali? Yes he got the win but was very lucky. As Merchant said Lewis won the fight, Vitali won the occasion. There's a reason why all the crowd was cheering Vitali after the fight. Oh and Lewis went back on his promise of a rematch.

 

I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say all Wlad had was his size. He was, fast, powerful, used to have a great jab, has very good fundamentals and of course is very consistent, he always showed up prepared.

His style of course was clearly designed to utilise his strengths including his size. But if you are to critique his style, I'd be more critical of his lack of versatility.

He fights one way, with a style given to him by Steward that allowed him to reign for a long time. But once that style was no longer effective, partially due to the demise of his jab and partially to the size and movement of Fury, something he never had to face before, he started looking very ordinary.

Some of his fans are expecting him to do better in the rematch with Fury. I do not. I will be rooting for him but he simply does not have the tools or as I said before the versatility to adjust and beat Fury.

He can't out box Fury, he has to take the fight to him and even if he did have inside skills he doesn't have the skills to actually get inside.

Firstly his head movement is limited. He slipped shots by creating distance or leaning back, neither of these skills will help him get inside. He never slipped inside shots, or ducked shots, it's never a skill he's had, Lewis had it, saw it numerous times during his career such as the fights with Mercer, Bruno, Vitali and many more, even before Steward.

Secondly his foot work is over rated. He has good balance, is quick and light on his feet, but his actually foot work is limited to short quick bursts of movement, his lateral movement is poor, his movement is predictable, he has never needed to cut off the ring before. If he had better movement he would never needed to clinch as much as he did, his excessive clinching is a by product of his poor movement. It's why Ali clinched so much during his comeback, he couldn't dance for 12 rounds anymore and was more stationary, with Wlad it's the same he clinches because he can't get out of the way enough.

He'll need to add these skills to his repertoire to just get inside on Fury and even if he gets inside he'll just instinctively clinch and smother any chance of him landing inside with anything effective. Wlad fans are hoping for a Wlad that has never existed to suddenly appear in the rematch.

 

I've mixed emotions about Wladimir, on one hand you dominate your division for a decade with relative ease but in the other hand the opposition isn't great and you bored the life out of most boxing fans.

Personally I think he deserved a place inside the top 10 P4P at some points but he wasn't near the top.

 

I think one reason why he lacks and inside game is not only due to the lack of -need- for an inside game, but the fact of his questioning his ability to take a good hard shot


he's going to have to get over that and start fighting inside when the opportunity arises to win the fury rematch


He has the power to drop furious with one shot, if he will take the chance, in whatever form that comes, and open up on him

 

Size was one of Muhammad Ali's biggest assets too. It's true for Lennox Lewis as well. Same with Tommy Hearns. And Sugar Ray Robinson.

But I guess some would make a huge deal about their size advantages they had and how they're not so pound-for-pound great because of it. I guess.

 

"Giant insects would suffocate as the body mass to surface area ratio increases. Insects breath by a system of trachea, which are small tubes that are found throughout the body. The oxygen necessary for cells to live pass through the walls of the trachea and dissolves in the insect blood to be passively transported (insects have an open circulatory system and don't have arteries and veins), and just like the intestines, the ratio of area of trachea to body tissue is 2 to 3. As a result, not enought oxygen would get to all the cells and the insect would suffocate. [...] Giant insects would break their legs with evey step. For example, as the insect enlarges the cross-sectional area of the leg would increase by the r2 while that of the weight supported by that leg would increase by r3! This means that the pressure(force divided by area over which the force is applied is called pressure)on the leg would increase. If the composition of the exoskeleton did not change, the insect exoskeleton would not be strong enough to support itself. ""

Ya dumbshyte! :verysad If you made a blunder don't compound it next time.

 

Awesome post :good

I think Wlad knows what to do. He needs to get his jab back and he mustn't be scared to take some incoming. If he can establish his jab, and close off on Fury, sooner or later the opportunity will be created to land something big. I don't believe Fury can take his punch.
