wlad is an all time heavyweight great top 15. right now there is no one who can give him even a real fight, vitali could give him a fight but would lose, vitali of 2004 would beat vlad via late ko. to beat the new wlad you have to be at least 6.3, have an iron chin, and big power and heart and speed. a boxer like that comes only once every 20 years. so wlad will not lose till he retires. and he is boring to watch, but i respect him, he knows that his chin is weak, so he developed a new style, where his opponent can't hit him. and i have no problem with that. i don't get some posters from esb. should vlad go all out and get knocked out sometimes??? then we wouldn't see such a dominant fighter who is rightly called heavyweight champion of the world.
Yes to the first and third points but his footwork isn't that great in the grand scheme of things. It's excellent for someone that size though...:think
Larry holmes reign was even weaker. Holmes is rated as a top 5 hw in history. Wlad will get his due. Joe Louis was regarded even weaker opposition during his reign. The best just make the opponents look weak
You have to be joking with this comment,Holmes was not ko'd by bums,Holmes resame is much better than either Klitschko,in fact their were fighters that Holmes fought that would have beat both Klitschko's,not long ago people were questioning Wlad's heart,has anyone ever questioned Holmes and Louis's heart against a Corrie Sanders?:roll:
Really and who are these fighters Holmes beat care to name them..? Sanders would of been a bad matchup for Louis who didn't exactly have a great chin.. Schleming ko'd him was even put down by braddock who was not a big puncher...
Hes good alrite but nobody is unbeatable and he has been beaten, if only that ***** haye would even give it a go, oh well
Just saying Larry Holmes was my boxing Idol growing up but the man received nonstop criticism at the time due to his opponents being that weak. It was always the talk, how weak the division was and how one sided he beat people without knocking them out, due to his lack of one punch power. Wlad knocks people out, methodically, but he knocks them out. homles did not and received huge criticism, you probably dont remember since I am an older dude.
