With 30 or so fights I have watched. It is his foot speed and balance for a man his size, especially in defence, he moves back and sidewide so fast and just doesn't get hit. watch his fights, it is just amazing to see this from a man who is 196cm tall. That was haye's biggest problem in the fight. Wladimar defence movement when Haye attacked.
Riiiight :roll: And I'm sure when he went over 100 fights with only 6 losses and a Olympic Gold medal in the ams it was because ...of the amateur era right? Has NOTHING to do with him being an awesome heavyweight huh? Haters gonna hate :yep
Yes, his footwork is great...he maintains balance most of the time, an underrated skill for a fighter. He is also always in great condition, which is the most important thing for any fighter.
Participants in every other sport in the world have became better and better... boxing fans need to get their heads out of their asses and get with the times. Boxing is no different from those other sports. People like you are just too blind to see that it simply isn't big in the USA right now. Which is where all of the huge media hype and big money was being tossed around when there were mainly just US heavyweights fighting back and forth. This is international competition now. Just because these guys aren't getting the huge American Media push, doesn't mean that they are any less talented. Only a close minded fool believes that the division was just so much greater when there were 19 americans in the top 20.... yet, now that their are fighters representing countries all across the world and the US fighters can't compete.... all of the sudden the division sucks and no heavyweights in the world are good boxers. That **** is ridiculous.
there it is..... i knew it wouldnt take long "worst era":roll::roll: "past HW would kill wlad and his footwork":roll::roll:
Boxing as a whole is in steep decline, and no this is NOT a good era of HWs, the ones that are not old either suck or they are fat. I call as I see it, which alot of you fanboys don't, a few weeks ago I had the displeasure of watching a HW eliminator on HBO. Solis, Ibragimov, Austin, Peter, Arreola, Demintrinko etc are all trash. The only halfway decent fighters outside of the Klits are 2 former CWs and Helenious. Chisora might be decent as well. But the rest of these guys are a joke, most can't even get in the ring with out being severely overweight.
