Wladimir is only operating at 75% pugilistic capacity.

[Toney Loc]

You're still on the Klitscko tip? The heavyweights today are trash my dude. Also Wlad fights the way he does because Steward taught him to fight in Lennox Lewis' style so that he wouldn't get KOed so easily as he used to.

You forgot to say "First of all" or "See, the thing is...".

[Glamour Puss]

If Wlad wasnt so calcualted I think he would be a star, but he's just not a raw fighter.

Wlad is a thinking man in the ring. He needs mas fuego.

You don't run from a problem, you confront it. Wlad needs to get comfortable on the inside.

**** Lennox Lewis.

i also thought that if Wlad utilized the uppercut, he could have taken Chambers out earlier

He is tall; it may be hard to throw upper cuts.

However, he should have gone to the body early on. He waited for the 12th round to start pounding the body. It worked, but he could have done this earlier.

Why do you say **** Lewis? Lewis was the man. Wlad basically copied his fighting style. He used to be reckless and would get knocked out on the regular.

[The Gambler1981]

I would say you are wrong since Wlad is basically unbeatable fighting like he does. He can do that **** but it opens him up and since that does not need to happean for him to work guys why take that risk since he takes out most guys he fights anyways.

You may find it basic and simple but the simplest path is the best path. He would be more interesting to watch if he fought like that but I don't see how he would be more effective.

Did you appreciate the way Emmanuel Steward coaxed him into fighting harder?

I thought it was masterful corner work.

"We don't need another bull**** decision!"

That was classic.

I don't think that's something he ever said to Tommy or Lennox.

It might be a little more risky for him but his chin has drastically improved. It would be more effective from the standpoint of finishing fights much sooner.

And its still enough to dominate and barely ever lose a round.

One of the things that frustrates me about him is that he doesn't use uppercuts and rarely ever works the body.

If he let his hands go w/ those punches more instead of holding so much on the inside opponents wouldn't be able to last more than 3 rounds.

I lament the fact that he doesn't impose his physique more on small opponents and really push them around and break them down with more brutality.

His opponents are lucky he is a thinking man trapped in a warriors body.

If he fought at 100% he would be the most fearsome and devastating fighter of all time.

Unfortunately for him Vitali has that title.

Doesn't he have the highest k.o % in the history of the sport?

are you for real??if he let his hands go he would be the most fearsome fighter ever??get a grip he knows how to jab and throw the left right,they are good heavy weights in a era of no competition,whats the best win they have ever had??he couldnt get rid of a old inactive lewis and still got his face busted up,overrated,oh yea about the ko record,valero has higher

[Clyde Barrow]

Everyone is shorter than Wlad, so I'm surprised he never uses uppercuts. And he could have got Chambers' hands down and KO'd him quicker if he'd attacked the body.

His chin is the same. Sam Peter was the last guy to hammer him, and dropped him many times.
