It's a joke isn't it. Even if you hate his style, even if his fights seem to now follow a predictable pattern, Klitschko has been the best of whats out there and had a long reign as heavyweight champion. The problem? With both the best fighters in the division being brothers it means neither is TRULY dominant, whats left for both of them. Fight each other, that will get me watching again. Do it over some old age dispute, and then they can both retire gracefully and get their place in the ATG list, and we can start to enjoy the heavyweight division. I can't see any of the current crop beating a Klitshko at the moment apart from Solis, however because his knee went against Vitali when he was looking good and landing some great shots that ruined it and it was counted as a knockdown.
wlad did look lost at times with some simple head movement his complete lack of body punching is obvoius too. dont think hes in the top 20 heavys either, he wont fight vitali either the best of his era
I'd go with Corrie. Big guy, good chin, fast hands, southpaw. Sanders had stamina issues, but so did Shavers. Shavers also couldn't take a punch as well as Sanders.
Haters want the K brothers to get worse instead of their opponents to improve. They hate them because they're so good lol
i'm not a wlad fan at all but what did you expect? the man knows he has a weak chin he's not gonna stand infront of haye to please you.
Get outta here with that. He is not a better HW than Wladimir Klitschko. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I am sure you would be saying the same about Golota if he even accomplished HALF of what Wlad has already accomplished.:roll: Hell, if Golota even accomplished 1/4th of what Wlad has done you would have already crowned him. You can't blame Wlad for not being able to make an exciting fight against an opponent who ran, ducked and hid all night long. Wlad has only had 2 opponents of his last 11 fights make it to the distance and BOTH of them refused to fight. Not his fault.
Ken Norton? lol. He had a style to give old Muhammad Ali and a green Larry Holmes fits, but not much else. Plus he was prone to getting knocked out terribly, never was the man at HW. Wlad has been the man for five/six years. Bowe? I disagree completely. Besides Holyfield, paper thin resume, ducker, lacked discipline. Wlad beats him resume wise easily and h2h it is closer than most people would want to admit. Shavers? Really? Hitting Muhammad Ali just puts you on this list? Shavers has no resume, no championships, no nothing. He also got knocked out a ton. Wlad beats him easily h2h, resume, all around. Had a punch but couldn't keep it going for a whole 12 rounds, especially not against Wlad. He wouldn't find Wlad. Terrible. Also in the Haye v. Klit fight, HAYE was the unwilling partner, not Klitschko. Need two to tango and Haye was concerned solely with surviving, collecting his paycheck and going back to England to show off his toe and reap the rewards of an incredibly biased sports journalism corps and ignorant fans clinging to any hope of a relevant British boxer at the world level.
Post it HERE when fresh Adamek gets destroyed by 40 year old Klitschko ok ? You probably disappear from ESB
wlad has beaten every style now for a while i thought the only type of fighter that would beat him would be an explosive puncher with good movement and athleticism but shiiiit he proved me wrong, **** it he is an atg who else at heavy can beat him?
if haye didn't have good defense he would have been ko'd a lot more often. he stood in range for most of the fight, even though he was negative he stood infront of wlad and slipped and weaved.
Haye showed good defense and was very quick. Wald cut off the ring and pushed forward all night, Haye turtled up and pot shotted whenever he could. People want to talk about the "push downs" but how many shots to the back of the head did Haye try to give Klit when tied up? What about 1 if not 2 elbows that I thought I saw Haye try to hit with. That with the falling down, the man was dirty. I was disappointed, Haye talked mad **** and did nothing to back it up. All Wald had to do is out box him and win. No problem. The man has faced everybody he could and has not lost since like '04. Multiple title fights. They is no heavy fighting today with a better record or resume. Because of that I have to give him the respect.
Not a great Heavyweight? Then how does this small fighter, giving away 20-30 pounds in most HW fights beat: Sam McVey, Jeff Clark, Harry Wills, Jim Barry, Jim Flynn, Iron Hague, Jim Johnson, Joe Jeanette, Gunboat Smith,Sandy Ferguson, George Godfrey but to name a few.
