Lol that’s an English thing about being orthodox,same with football,cricket,anyone who is mercurial soon gets it coached out of em lol
Huh? Did you just discredit Wlad because of his height??? If Height is all u need, then why isn't Valuev the greatest HW of all time. Now there's an example of a boxer who had absolutely ZERO boxing skills. ZERO power, ZERO footwork.... But come on, don't tell me all Wlad had was height thats BS, and I don't even like the Klitsckos
Deontay Wilder does not agree with Wlad's lesson on stance: https://media.giphy.com/media/UOl0gWzZFnlUA/giphy.gif
Valuev would never lose if he fought like a circus bear like Wlad. But Valuev had a code of honor , sportsmanship and dignity which is why he always boxed clean and within the rules.
Wlad is a lovely guy out of the ring but he was a total fraud within it. No argument can be made against anything I said and you know it. That's why you didn't even try. AJ is a dog crap boxer with huge holes in his game. No head movement, no stamina, Wlad-like mandible, flat footed, etc. Yet he still managed to survive for 5 rounds and then KO your hero Wlad. The only thing AJ did have is the same height and reach as Wlad. Says it all really. That was pure unadulterated knowledge you read. Not surprising a fool like you had no ability to comprehend it. I guess the truth hurts when you're a fan of the man and not a fan of the game. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I have never been a fan of Klitschko, his style doesn't cause me to be a fan. Doesn't mean I'm blind to the talent the man had. all of these people saying the same thing, but you're the one who is right...lol. and btw, AJ has a solid chin, someone who has a dodgy chin doesn't take all of the shots he did in the 5th/6th round of the Klitschko fight with a near empty gas tank & im not a fan of his either
No. You're an idiot for saying that, and an even bigger idiot for implying there to be some form of consensus in that direction. Here is a quick list of fighters greater than Wlad for which there is no debate: Muhammad Ali Jack Johnson George Foreman Sonny Liston Joe Frazier Rocky Marciano Lennox Lewis Jack Dempsey Larry Holmes Joe Louis Evander Holyfield John L. Sullivan Gene Tuney Mike Tyson Tyson L. Fury I'm sure there are more but these are the obvious ones. What people? Four idiots on a forum is hardly a tsunami of overwhelming agreement. If you all had the ability, understanding and inclination to look at the man honestly you would see that he was a fundamentally flawed boxer at every stage of his career. Whatever the reason is that you can't see that is your own cross to bear.
A lot depends on your body (measurements, flexibilty), your reflexes (like Wlad already mentioned) and your athletisism. The best stance for one guy can be one of the worst for others. Same goes for tactics in a fight
wow, prime joshua managed to squeak out a ko versus an inactive, 41 year old guy. congrats, that is quite the feat to hang his hat on.
