I'm watching some Wladimir Klitschko fights right now because of the shannon briggs hype and it's unbearable. This **** is is literally unwatchable. I have never seen anyone lean and grab so much in my life and I haven't even gotten halfway through the first round.
Why don't you two girls get a room???? :sleeping::sleeping:
The Klitz. Bros (girls) have spoken, one thinks Wlad is the best the other Vitali.
Both are Ali's sparring partners!!!
hmmm,,,youre always ripping into people when they demean professional fighters but youre doing it in this post. how ironic

klitschko is very good, hes just a wimp on the inside. He knows if he doesnt clinch he will get hit so he avoids even if it means clinching the whole round.
He has the skill to knockout guys in 4 rounds max, but he is way to scared and conservative he drags the fight into unneeded distances. Even emmanuel steward has said this
This^ is true.
I am a Wladimir fan of course. He could and DID waste all of his opponents in 4 rounds tops.
In fact, his first loss against Ross Puritty was a combined result of facing someone with among the hardest chins in all of boxing and the fact that despite having 20 fights under his belt, Wladimir had never even seen a double digit round!
Of course his newer "safety first" style almost guarantees the win, totally eliminates the chance of being upset KO'ed and makes him nearly invincible now.
Of course it makes for more protracted and somewhat more boring fights.
Can't really blame him for winning and not taking damage though. I wouldn't personally risk my own career/health to impress fans!
Nobody has ever transformed heavyweight boxing like Klitschko did. He rendered all the usual established tactics of boxing, virtually worthless and unnecessary.
It's also because he has a suspect chin.
that's exactly why wlad does it. Hopkins does it because of his age. in wlads defense he doesn't do it in every fight tho. its usually only against the shorter swarmers that punch well on the inside

Wladimir Klitschko has surpassed Muhammad Ali and John Ruiz in wrestling, it's true.
Also, The FOTC Ali v Frazier, previously the huggiest fight of all time was surpassed by Wladimir vs Povetkin by far, unfortuanately validating that past event and fuelling hatred for the former Soviet boxer.
It should be noted that whilst Ali's clinching would be considered illegal and lead to certain disqualification now, Wladimir's is legal, however excessive.
Better question would be "Has any fighter had such a weight and height advantage like the Klitschkos". I don't see how special these guys are beating fighters much smaller and weaker then them.Valuev??????
Floyd and Ward do a lot of holding and they are considered "master boxers" so I guess it's ok for boring ass Wlad to hold too.
Floyd held a lot in 1 fight at 37..stop it

Ali was taller and heavier than the vast majority of his opponents.

are you serious? youve never seen hopkins ,,ward or others box? it was only the povetkin and first peter fight where wlad clinched over excessively
was funny seeing povetkin trying to get out of the "uber lean, forehead to the nape of the neck" clinch and klitschko getting real rough with him because of it
I checked the fight out because of your post and Wlad LITERALLY Leaned and Grabbed half a dozen times in the FIRST 30 SECONDS OF THE FIGHT
What the ****... this **** is not boxing...
Yes, because grabbing dudes KO's them as evidence by Vladdy KO'S 52 Knockouts! No skills needed to box. It's just a game dude.
Great post rookie.
I wouldn't know, I have never gotten past the first round in any klitschko fight. It's impossible. I don't know how people can do it.
I'd rather watch golf, or water polo.
