Wladimir Klitchkos speed

Emanuel Steward said recently, in sparring and during in training camp, wlad's opponent had their gloves up .....with 20 oz gloves AND headgear..he said Wlad knocked out 2 sparring partners cold( yes the guys were covering up AND he hit the 20 oz gloves AND headgear and still knocked them out!!)

"that I think you’re going to see a much more aggressive fighter in Wladimir. If this man actually would just operate with close to 80%—he’s only operating with about 60%—he would be the most devastating heavyweight in the history of boxing because I’ve worked with him. Never, ever, ever have I been involved with a fighter who has so much one punch punching power."

Could Wlad be thee hardest one punch hitter of all time?


"Even guys that knock somebody out—they get them hurt, they knock them down, they get them groggy—Wladimir is the only fighter I’ve ever worked with that everything can be normal like a big party—everybody is having champagne, on the floors, in the tuxedos, with the music—and the lights go off completely at one time. I mean it’s not like a gradual dimmer switch. I never saw anyone who knocked out people in a gym when they block punches and he did that about three weeks ago with a sparring partner—two weeks ago, prior to the fight. With a sparring partner he threw a left hook, the sparring partner blocked the punch and with twenty ounce gloves he was still knocked out. He has unbelievable one punch punching power and that’s why maybe he doesn’t put combinations together"

and he says Wlad's power is there in round 12 ...unlike other hard hitters..

“What makes him really special also is he has so much power in the late rounds. A lot of guys, great punchers like (Mike) Tyson, they were great in the early rounds but very seldom in the late rounds. Wladimir has knocked out guys like he did with Chris Byrd, and (Ray) Austin, and Eliseo Castillo—he knocked those guys out early because he threw a punch early, an early power punch. And then he’s had the power to go out after being down three times with Sam Peter and he had him out on his feet in the twelfth round of a very grueling fight with one single punch, a left hook. Then he knocked out Thompson. With Tony Thompson he ran across the ring and threw one straight right hand in the eleventh round and just walked away, and Thompson went down totally finished. Now he knocks out this guy in the twelfth round with ten or twelve seconds left with one punch. To have a fighter that has that kind of devastating one punch clean knockout power is so much stress on the opponent because you’re never safe" E.Steward


All on why he wouldn't need a lead right hand,which isn't even the threat topic.A better question is why ali couldn't do a hook off the jab/Because he wasn't fast enough,that combo actually takes legit speed to do that why.....:smooch

 

And who will the too fast guy be?

"Personally, I wasn't bothered where the fight ended up. I'd fight Wladimir anywhere, so long as the location comes with a ring and a referee that can count to 10. By the time I've finished with Wladimir, he won't know where he is anyway." D. Haye who bragged how slow Wlad was to him,he was considered the fastest hands of the Hw's until he met Wlad.

 

Fury is fast as well,wlad is just another level.both will show speed.Wlad will just have that one punch speed and k.o him ,so I don't know how much fast combos Fury will display before Wlad decides to end it.

 

But a lead right does? And you are wrong...hook punches do require more speed instead of straight punches because they travel at a longer distance than straight punches. David Haye ran the entire time in a croutched position,again you guys do not really study fight film ,this is obvious. Your last sentance make you look like this guy.... :silly

 

I don't have to see,im the one who posted this thread! :good

 

Thats because you obviously didn't watch the vids oi posted...briggs was fast but hes Lewis fast,not wlad fast.Nobody with serious thought and non bias watching even the opening vid of Briggs is going to seea faster puncher there.... :-(
