Why do Klitschko's opponents always quit?

[M.I Truth ?]

Its one thing to take a beating. Its another to take a beating and not be able to accomplish anything positive on the offesnsive. The latter is what the opponents of the brothers are often faced with.

They don't take chances. Its like resigning in chess when you lose a major piece. Sure you could win, and at a lower level you would never dream of just resigning, but when playing top competition, you know they don't make mistakes. Vitali and Wlad aren't going to pull a Margarito and trade shots during the last round or take crazy unneccessary chances to give the fans a show. They aren't going for check mate...instead they just systematically take all of your pieces and make you look terrible. A guy knocks a guy out with a big punch in the 2nd...some would say, "well a lucky punch cost you...you could beat them." When Vitali or Wlad beat a guy they leave no doubt who the better fighter is. They beat you consistently round after round with planned out smart shots.

Because the Klitschkos punish them slowly, yet in a boring fashion.

You are a hater. Stop whining.

Worst post ever.

Wlad and Vitali have the highest KO ratios of any heavyweight champions in boxing history.

Compare them as finishers to Larry Holmes, Muhammed Ali, and even Lennox Lewis.

Wlad might be the BEST finisher in heavyweight boxing history. He's knocked out about 15 opponents who had never been stopped before (Chagaev, Brock, Thompson, Shultz, Barrett, etc).

LOL

First of all, it takes Wlad almost ALWAYS 8 or more rounds to knock a guy out. Unless the guy is totally overmatched.

If he is such a great finisher, explain how he could have Chagaev hurt and down in round 2, and stumbling around the ring for the next few rounds, but not get the stoppage until what, the 9th round?

Its pathetic.

Klitschko is one of the WORST finishers in boxing today. HE gets a TON of stoppages beause he is a HUGE puncher, and a very dominant fighter. But a fighter with Wlads physical dimensions and ability should have made MUCH shorter work of all his most recent opponents.

And it comes down to him not wanting to take ANY risks, and NEVER picking up the pace EVER

Idiot. Ruslan Chagaev had never even been down before, let alone stopped, either as an amateur or pro.

At age 18, Chagaev went the distance and defeated Felix Savon, who KOed David Tua in a world amateur tournament.

Watch Wlads fights with Brock, Thompson, Austin, Bostice, Jefferson, etc if you want to see him pick up the pace and go for the KO.

because quiting is better then getting knocked hell out, everyone wnats to see a spectacular knockout and you dont wanna be the guy getting knocked out so they quit. 8-9 rds of punishment hurts, its easy for you to say you never been beaten like most of these guys

I think he meant immediate finishers. There is a lot of times when Wladdy can end the fight much sooner but he only goes for it when there is absolutely no risk left.

His most devastating was the Mercer fight.

Holy ****!!!
