Analyze a boxer's weakness...

[Left Hook Tua]

Imagine if this scenario happened:

Thompson pulls off the upset over Wlad by a TKO in 6. He takes the IBF/WBO titles.

Vitali Klitschko makes it through training camp, fights and beats Samuel Peter. Vitali, not Wladimir, gets a unification going with Thompson for three belts (and basically the undisputed title). That would be hilarious.

nah...... you know what's gonna happen? they have the dream of "we want to be the first bros. to hold titles together." , remember?

vitali will not comply with one of his mandatories get stripped so wlad could win it.

it'd be horrible.

aside from GOAT tye......do we have a savior in the horizon?

Ali - Fighting too long, being too good at taking punches. Missing 3 and half of his prime years(not exactly all his fault)

he was too tough for his own good. sad.

growing up when i was a little kid i would watch videos of ali , leonard , duran and louis with my dad. ali was what got me to love boxing. funny considering ali was a boxer and i favor sluggers.

Ehh... Wlad is actually one of my favorites right now but the only fighters that can make him get into a good fight are people who aren't afraid to tango with him. Maybe Valuev but he's not that good to begin with; but that would be the spectacle of the year.

There is, however, an overwhelming chance of Training Camp TKO1 Vitali though so Wlad could get a unification with Peter

wlad would beat peter easily. a lot easier than the 1st time imo. who do you got in that fight?

we just need a unified. even it's not a long reign at least we know who the champ is.

Wladimir by a wide wide UD, possibly even a late TKO.

This would make Ali-Holmes look competitive. OK, well not that bad but it'll be big.

sam is ruined. wlad damaged him in the 1st fight. plus the ref knows to not let sam hit behind the head.

you don't go from having a david tua type chin to all of a sudden getting rocked everytime against jameel. granted some were really flush and jameel is a big , big guy but jameel is not know for being heavy handed. jameel's ko of grant was a freak accident.

To be fair, McCline's power is underrated because of his low KO ratio but he can **** in the first few rounds before his stamina comes into play.

of course the guy is 260 lbs. but wlad hit him with a lot , lot harder punches and it wasn't until the end that sam got rocked. he seemed to get rocked everytime jameel hit him. even oleg hurt him but that's a granted oleg has great power.

a lot of african heavyweights get shopworn pretty early. maybe it's the lack of amateur experience and they get hit a lot when they start out as pros. izonritei comes to mind.
