Is Wlad Klitchsko's power overrated?

[WLAD OWNS]

When he starts to ko guys with the hook, it wil be his better punch. Right now, the right hand is his punch.

Wlad has KO'd and knocked down lots of fighters with his left hook

Wlad was the first man to knockdown Ray Mercer...he did it with a left hook

he knocked out McCline with a left hook

he rocked Peter bigtime with a left hook

destroyed Austin with left hooks...just look at my sig

knocked down Barrett 5 times and finished him with a left hook

The list goes on and on......


Wlad hasn't been able to use or land the left hook as much in his last 2 fights because he was fighting very defensive awkward southpaws (Ibragimov and Thompson).

Wlad finally gets to face an orthodox fighter next fight in Povetkin....Wlad feasts on orthodox fighters...he will batter Povetkin with right hands and left hooks...It's gonna be a good fight while it lasts and Wlad will win by brutal KO.

Cruiserweight is arguably the weakest...The best guy in the division is Tomasz Adamek and he got schooled by Chad Dawson at light heavyweight...That's the same Dawson that got beat up by 40 year old Glen Johnson.

Heavyweight >>> Cruiserweight

The same Chad Dawson that got a UD over Johnson

Adamek vs Cunningham is coming up later this year.

We will have to bet points on that fight

That's going to be an excellent fight that stays under the radar. I sure hope it is televised.

The same Chad Dawson that got a UD over Johnson

I scored it 115-113 for Johnson

Tons of people on Boxingscene had Johnson winning the fight.

Tonnes of people had Hopkins over Calzaghe JMM over Pacman Lewis over Holyfield Castillo over Mayweather,but when you look at the record it won't change because of what people think

I think this is the old "people remember the second half of the fight more than the first" effect. Dawson put away heaps of the early rounds. Glen definatley came back well and took the majority of the rounds in the second half of the fight but by that time I think Dawson had built up a sufficient lead and deserved the decision.

Wlad knocked down Mercer before Holyfield? McCline quit, and Wlad does not get leverage on his left hook.

Me too......................

My bad...Wlad was the first man to knockdown Mercer with a HEAD SHOT

Holyfield knocked down Mercer with a Body Shot

I agree with you that the big right hand is still his money punch...but his left hook is also very deadly

That's the way I saw it too. Johnson won his rounds more impressively, but Dawson still won 7 of the 12 rounds.
