Wlad's blarring weaknesses

[rizkybizness]

well considering Thompson is the only the 3rd man to ever win a round against wlad without knocking him down.. I am going to stick by my original statement..

That doesn't sound right.

Is that a fact?

[Allucard]

i agree with you bro! riz, good post as well. wlad has the tools for sure(great power, jab, athleticism), but not the chin or natural gift for the sport. not a born boxer imo. he gets tired due to his over tension, and worry of getting hit, is a bit clumsy at times as well. in another era he would not be a strap holder. he could do much better, he has more than enough skill, but he needs to let go. or maybe he is what he is, and as silencers said a made boxer, and this is him! imho

He is very talented and his passion for the sport is immense. That being said, i think Haye needs more footwork. But even as he is i'd pick him over Klitschko based on his last 2 performances(Klitschko's).

i amstarting to lean toward haye myself, but can't be sure till i see him in with a decent heavy!

My biggest concern with Wlad is that he doesn't seem very concerned about protecting his body. First, Brock and now Thompson have had success going to his body and battering his ribs. Wlad got left with some nasty bruises last Saturday and I wander if that could have been avoided if he developed a better inside game(more uppercuts and short punches before clinching).

i think the problem with Wlad is he punches through the target everytime and that leaves him open and vulnerable when he misses same as Kelly Pavlik who is also vulnerable defensively and punches through the target

If Wladimir Klitschko was anything like Kelly Pavlik as a fighter he'd be a star.

He is much more of a star than Pavlik if we're being honest, at least worldwide he is.

I agree with almost everything you said, but at the same time he wins and he puts almost everybody to sleep.
