There is a lot of talk going around the boxing community that Wlad is a shot fighter. Wlad was brutally beaten by Sanders and a lot of people think that this ruined Wlad as a fighter. There might be some validity to that too. Its up to Wlad to prove it wrong. Love him or hate him, there is no current heavyweight champion or contender who has beaten as good of competition as Wlad has and in such dominate fashion and he is only 28 years old. There is no way that a prime Wlad becomes exhausted after 1 round of boxing. Though I don't understand why Manny would change Wlad's entire fighting style before a title fight as well. Wlad's style was not his problem. Why throw the European style out the window? If Wlad is in fact a shot fighter, he should lose or struggle to beat TOS. Either way TOS is clearly a better fighter than Brewster. There is no way a prime Wlad loses or struggles with TOS .
they can back up and move around becuase of 22 inch thighs on theese huge men... and they cant fight inside tyson would love to fight them
Instead of fighting them, tyson chose to fight some bum ... in the end ... he "just sat there like a pack of sand"
The same could be said about Roy Jones Jr.'s career at light heavyweight.
Roy was great when he beat Hopkins and Toney, and pretty pathetic afterwards.
I don't hate Wlad's fans.
Some, at least, like him but are willing to accept reality.
Then there's those who argue out of wishful thinking.
They tend to be beligerent, racist, & clueless.
Then there's you honey....IN LOVE.
This is a cruel, rough sport, Taty....

You're gonna have to explain that.
The only punch landed to support your theory was when Sanders clocked him with a minute left in the 1st round with a straight left. As for the rest of it, Wlad just stands there flailing throwing worthless punches. He is a horrible inside fighter, and he should have backed up and circled to his left to create some distance. This is exactly how Vitali fought Sanders. Instead he would just stand there and get tagged or he would circle to his right thus walking right into Sanders straight left. This horrible defensive performance by Wlad had little to do with the Euro style.
Naut....
The Klits don't do anything outside of the ring to make me hate them.
I just believe Wlad has been overrated, & now has been exposed.
His fans who refuse to accept he's limited & actually get upset when people point that out..I guess I do hate them.
Are you picking up a fight ? ;)

JabsRstiff, you told me you did not hate the Klitschkos. You lied to me. If you lie about one thing, what else will you lie about. You may be saying many bad things about the Klitschkos, not because you think it is true, but instead you say these things because you hate the Klitschkos and their fans.
I actually thought that JabsRstiff is reasonable most of the time. He does pick up fights with some of K2 fans, but I don't think he is the one who usually starts them. Basically, he is quite reasonable outside these fights.
I have not read many of his posts, so I may be wrong. ;)

You are wrong, & far too sensitive.
I have some respect for Vitali Klitschko, & I believe he's the man to beat in the divison.
But....I tell it like it is with Wladimir.
I think it's a disgrace that so many of his fans have bought & perpetrated the theory of his being drugged.
I don't hate Wlad....I just think his future is limited.
Unlike so many of his misinformed & delusional fans....I see what's what.

sorry winter but glass jaw, lack of stamina and too easy to hit.
anyone with a punch knows they can take him out, when it came to chins his brother got his share.
I think anyone with a big punch can take anyone out. I have a feeling very few fighters can take a big punch. I hope Wladimir does not have a glass jaw like you said. I have a feeling he does not have a glass jaw. He would not have been champion before if he had this.
Wasn't Wlad still using his "Euro" style when he was annihilated by Sanders ?
His Euro style consisted of leaving his unmoving head straight up in the air....& made him a ridiculously easy target for Sanders' left hand.
That's why Steward was brought in.
I guess its been a long time since you saw that fight.
