Wladimir is a tall robot he is not Muhammad Ali

[Pirao]

It's a good thing Dynamite Kid has seen the light. Wlad is not Ali but he's a damn good HW too, and will be remembered as such, unlike someone we know

[maverock]

did you watch his fight with Thompson he fell into Thompson everytime he punched

Did you see the fight at all? Thompson came crashing into Wlad with his head down all the time, hitting Wlad's chest with his head.

of course he aint no ali....he has a decent jab and power as well as being a good technical fighter but he will never be a Ali he does not have the speed or tactics or persona to be a ali...i bet you any money some klitschko fans will be saying stuff like "STFU Wladimir would murder ali and is better than him" but fact is wladimir is slow and has a few advantages but this whole comparison between ali is ridiculous....

[Money Shot]

So what he's no Ali. He punches harder than anyone else and hasn't taken a decent shot since Peter 1 ten fights ago. Haye ate several shots against Ruiz and one from Barrett that dropped him. What does that say about his footwork and defensive skills?

Wlad has skills and it's time haters started respecting them! They'll look ****** in 2011 of course!

[nomadman]

That's better. He's gone back to just posting six year old gifs and sparing us his utterly idiotic opinions like:

Wlad is scared.

Sounds like he is trying to intimidate haye into ducking rather than get him in the ring. If he really wanted to MAKE the fight he would drop this whole Ivan Drago act.

any comparison to ali is a joke... wlad has dominated the HW scene but for me he will never be in the pantheon of the greats...

a safety first fighter in a division of bums is no legacy... his own trainer has to scream at him to finish opponents

im no haye fan but i hope he sparks his lights out... followed by vitali brutally sending david into retirement

why even make this thread? I'd love to hear the flip side of the debate that wlad IS like mohammed ali.

how about this thread?

Crack is bad for you, not good for you like carrots.

Wladimir is a true champion and a future hall of famer who has earned is reputation the hard way. He's taken a few knocks, but he came back from them and that's what makes a real champion. To hell with the pathetic, jealous keyboard "warriors" who hate him! The truth is they wouldn't have the guts to say anything to his face if they had half the chance!

From what I remember there were several Klitschko-Ali threads around at the time this thread was posted, and this was just part of the trend.
