if wlad had vitali's chin...?

[Stickman]

Klitschko panics when hes hit flush, there is a cautious side to Klitschko that means he will always be mentally vulnerable, his chin is not that bad.

I agree that he panics, but I don't think he'll always be mentally vulnerable. Inside a year, maybe two, he'll be completely over it. It's a simple matter of maturity, nothing more. I also agree that his chin isn't bad. Peter caught him flush a couple of times, had him down once, but he didn't seem to be very unsteady afterwards. I think he's just convinced himself that he's going to go down if he gets hit hard, and his body does what his mind thinks it's going to. When he grows into himself (and you can see the difference between now, and just a couple of years ago, already), he has the potential to be legendary.

I like how people criticize boxers for using a jab effectively; then turn around and say some new boxer needs to jab more.

There is a reason that on this forum and on TV, people say that "so-and-so needs to work off of his jab and jab more"



On topic,

Wlad would be known as the white Larry Holmes if he had a chin.

innit

never heard someone critiscise a fighter before for having an effective jab

Yep, it's kind of funny. I've always heard that "a perfect jab, used with great frequency, is the key to becoming an unbeatable fighter", but when someone puts that into practice and proves it's truthfulness, you see idiots criticizing for it? Unbelievable.

vitali is a better fighter

he fights nothing like holmes.. but as far as the power that might be becuase wlad is a giant.. if holmes was in shape he would of been 210 lbs

yea,,I love how people say he has a glass chin when brew connected with not 1 but 2 huge flush left hooks right on the chin near the end of that last round of the first fight when wlad was gassed and he still didnt fall,,,,yet just one of those hooks toppled golota and krasniqui. whats that make there chins?

i disagree vitali has great defense and you have to have great defense to be a great fighter

lol,,,,,yea part of it is his size. mass x speed=power size alone doesnt do it. is mccline a big puncher? wlad turns into his punches and throws them with great leverage and speed. most heavies that big dont have his technique. holmes back then in shape was around 210 and wasnt a big puncher,,,nor was he when he was in the 240's later in his comeback
