    Wladimir Klischko is underrated

    He's got a great jab, power and right hand. He is just overlooked because of his kind personality and the fact he isn't American.

    Yes, Haye is exciting and is a laugh with his personality but really... Wlad is a good enough fighter, we don't need to be "saved" we just need matches to happen in the Heavyweight division which Wlad is getting done now. I think Wladimir would be a champion in any era.

    The Primo Carnera comparisons are ridiculous.

    He is either the best fighter or second best fighter in boxing overall right now. Not sure if I would put him ahead of Vitali.

    Note: Overall means without weight-limits and who is the King of the Mountain. That's what the HW Champ is: The King. The others below 200 have to put "P4P" before their names to give them some credit like they are "equal."

      Who compared him to Primo Carnera?

      Wladimir is one of if not the best Heavyweight in the world. He just needs someone that can bring the best out of him, and as far as I can see so far only his brother can do that. But we know that won't happen.

        The big problem for Wlad is that his fights have been dull ever since the loss to Brewster. Brock, Thompson, Sultan, Rahman, Brewster 2 were all dull fights even considering the KO's. He is hard to beat with a good jab but since Stewart has taken over him he is dull to watch, people say sport is about winning but for spectators they care more about being entertained.

          Actually, he's overrated. Who has he beaten to warrant his reputation? Same applies to his brother. Neither have EVER beaten anyone with a pulse compared to heavyweights of old. I'n not hating on them, it aint their fault the heavyweights are all ****, but it's true I'm afraid.

            How about nearly everyone he faced and everyone he's needed to fight?

                  Agreed, he should at least be on the p4p list too.
