WHAT IF ? Wladimir Klitschko - vs - Sergei Liakhovich
Wladimir Klitschko is a fine boxer for a big man but he lacks what his
brother Vitali had. An iron constitution. This is a trait that Sergei proved
he had when he fought and beat a very tough boxer named Lamon Brewster.
If they fight, Sergei is going to out gut Wlad. He will enforce his
will on Wlad. Klitschko is a front runner. Once he reaches a " danger"
point, he has a tendency to abandon his fight plan. In essence he panics. He
loses focus and he allows his skills to diminish under duress. This is why
he lost to Corrie Sanders and Brewster. He could handle Chris Byrd because
Byrd posed no serious danger of hurting him. A bold Wladimir Klitschko is a
hard fighter to beat. Hurt him and take away that boldness he becomes a
rather ordinary boxer. Sergei can and will do this to him. Sergei has the
tools and has been tested under fire. Sergei will win this match.
I'm still a Wlad doubter i'm afraid, after seeing him gas out against Sanders and Brewster, but boxers learn from their mistakes and it was quite evident that Manny Steward has spent a lot of time working on Wlad pacing himself. Every time the bell rang Manny sat him down, calmed him down and kept him on the gameplan...jab, jab..bomb.
Wlad is starting to box like a prime Lewis, sitting Byrd on the end of a poleaxe jab, not letting them get inside until he is softened up enough to start dropping right hand bombs. For a guy who is Wlad's size it's a winning formula and it looks like he'll be unstoppable if he listens to his corner.
Maybe Wlad, and more importantly Steward, have learned the lessons that they needed to.
No one can take a lot of shots from a confident Wlad ;) Doesnt mater what calibre the chin is.
He hits like a locomotive.
It doesn't matter how good your "Chin" is.
Ray Mercer had never been on the canvas his entire career, and had eaten punches from the biggest punchers you can name except Mike Tyson and David Tua. He even said himself he'd never been hit by someone with that combination of power and speed that Wladimir had.
Oh and save the "He was shot" bit. Because he was on a terror knocking guys out left and right with 1 punch before facing him.
Ronnie Shields claims Wladimir has faster hands, and hits harder than a prime Mike Tyson. I'm not sold on that, but he worked with both fighters and those are his claims.

you obviously never saw the sam peter fight. he would do the same to lyko like he did to peter: use his jab, stay calm, throw the right when he knows it will land, and grind him into dust.
lyko will but up a helluva fight and he wont quit, but i dont see how he'll be able to beat wlad.
wlad by TKO.
Lyakovich is a huge threat to Wlad iMO.He appears to have great heart and chin also is very offensive.I can see him eating alot of shots but dishing out a great deal also should boil down to Stamina and heart= Lyakovich winning by late stoppage.

It is funny how the Klitschko haters after every one of their fights start spewing bullshit out of their mouths just to discredit the accomplishments of the brothers. You people are so fucking pathetic it is truly laughable. You fucking hypocrite's will never give them any credit.
Vitali vs Sanders you all said Sanders would KO Vitali and we saw what happened. Then you said that Vitali would get destroyed by Williams simply because Williams destroyed your hero Tyson, that did not happen.
Wlad vs Williamson You all said Williamson would win, that did not happen. Castillo vs Wlad you all made up story's about Castillo being too quick for Wlad and that Castillo would KO Wlad, wrong again. Against Peter you all said Wlad is a dead man walking. Well the only dead and defeated man I saw walking after that fight was Peter with his face and nose a crimson fucking mess. Then you people actually thought feather fisted Byrd would KO Wlad LOL!! you are all a bunch of fucking jokers. Wlad just retired Byrd. Now you are all conjuring up story's about other potential boxers that you say would KO Wlad, once again you will all be wrong about that. My comment to you all is Don't go away mad just go away already.
I think it would be a great fight - say what you will but Sergei is a pretty fast HW with moderate power and a very decent chin. Wlad is fast HW with great power and moderate chin. This fight would be very entertaining to say the least. It will never happen though, Sergei is promoted by Don King and fights on Showtime while Wlad fights on HBO. Wlad is getting nowhere near Sergei for as long as Don King is promoting him.
hey, that wouldn't be bad either...Valuev could have been in the lord of the rings with no makeup...he's an ogre dude
I would love to see Wlad floor the Giant Valuev. :D

I'm not taking anything away from him...he has the heart of a Lion but I dunno if that will be enough. I want to see Wlad fight the giant Valuev first though. That ring is going to be under a lot of weight

Liakhovich will beat Wlad by late TKO.
Liakhovich has very good speed for a big guy, good jab, good stamina, good heart, good chin & a little over average power. Not big punch, but good enough punch to hurt Wlad!
I really don't see Wlad beating him, unless he gets lucky catching Liakhovich with a perfect punch early in the fight.
jeez,,serg beat a one dimensional brewster that has been beaten by shufford and entienne. if you dont punch yourself out on him and avoid his left hook its target practice. serg was knocked out by mo harris. wlad would probably knock him out brutally if they fight. that little lead right to the body didnt cost him against the slower out of shape brewster but wlad would take his head off if he does it against him. serg is a very vulnerable hevayweight imo
Liakhovich will beat Wlad by late TKO.

Well, we are entitled to our opinions...I'm with Emanuel Steward on this one. After the Klitchko/Byrd fight, he was saying he 'inherited' Lewis around 29 or 30 years old and look what they accomplished together. I forsee the same with Steward and Wlad together
Liakhovich will beat Wlad by late TKO.

There you go again, stop the hate lol
I would have to root for Sergey on this one. Klitschko's too slow.
Sergey has fast hands and some sting on them.
You are either a moron or don't watch Wlad matches. He has the fastest and most powerful right straight in the fight game today!!! As many times as Sergei led with that right to the body versus Lamon...he would get KTFO against Wlad pulling that shit :boxing:
I believe they were supposed to fight one another in Germany sometime in April 2005 but Sergei backed out for some reason or another so Wlad then fought Eliseo Castillo. I am almost positive of this.
