    He is a good boxer, but, no, he is NOT underrated. Overrated if anything.

      He faces bums all the time and is boring to watch. Put him in the ring with a half decent heavyweight and he will get KO'ed. No way he would survive when the Heavyweight scene was thriving.

        DavrosPremuleas,

        ???
        The Byrd II fight was awesome,
        The Brock fight was awesome,
        The Austin fight was super awesome (A one handed KO!!!)
        The Brewster fight could have been better if Brewster wasn't such a *****.
        (What is it about certain HW's that make them such ******* when fighting the brothers Klitchko? Sam Peter "rabbitt" wussed out too... Subject for another thread I guess)

        Sultan is a very good fighter, so the fight was a good tactical display, but I guess I could see how it wasn't all that entertaining.

        Thompson fight was good!, unless you are bored by KO's...

        Rahman was another good fight, unless you are bored by TKO's

        So what is your real problem with Wlad? Only one out of seven of his last fights could really be called "boring".

          Ibragimov, Rahman and Thompson fights were boring. He used to be fun to watch when he let his hands go. Nowadays it's just jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, occasional right hand. He is afraid of getting KO'ed because he's been KO'ed 3 times. Now he is just safe and it's painful to watch. Also he doesn't fight anyone who has a chance of beating him.

            Who should he be fighting?

              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.

              Is Wladimir Klitschko the best in the world? In a world full of bums it would appear that he is the best of them.

                the 2nd Byrd fight was ok, but the Brock fight had no action in it at all for 5-6 rounds then Wlad landed 1 big punch and it was over. Thompson and Rahman fights were not good go and watch some pre 00's heavyweight fights.

                    is ricky trying to score green K with this thread?

                    On a side note. he's great at what he does, but he has no fighting heart and can't break down a fighter when his jab-right combo isn't quite working, his size is his big strength. He's certainly no Carnera that's for sure but no top 10 great either. His brother is better.

                      So from what I am hearing from the euro-haters is that since Wlad is so dominating, KO'ing #1 ranked (some undefeated) contenders, that he only fights bums?
                      Or that he's boring?

                      What a joke. I think your euro-hate is showing.
