Emanuel Steward: I Could Not Train A Man to Beat Wladimir Klitschko

[nomadman]

Guy with a glass chin can always lose somehow......

Wlad doesn't have a glass chin. He has an average chin. Herbie Hide and the Saviour of the Division have glass chins.

You can't but I can.

Yeah? So all the pro trainers thought they could train their guys to do it, but you can because they couldn't.

Holyfield doesn't have what you would call ko power but he certainly had enough to ko wlad at any point in the fight, holyfield beat a lot of good fighters and even in defeat it was close decisions against bowe and lewis. I can throw that right back at you, who has wlad ever beat???? The heavyweight division is a joke, anyone who has watched boxing for more than 5 years should realise this. Yes holyfield would take some jabs but he is far from a stationary target, he had a good guard, good head movment, used his shoulders well, and was an extremely dirty fighter, he would have taken wlad in deep water, and in my opinion drowned him. If wlad had vitali's chin, then that is a different story, but we know he can be hurt by less than big punchers, and mediocre fighters, we know he has no inside game, and that was holyfiled's game. We don't know if wlad can dominate a top heavyweight because he has NEVER fought one, and until he does I will never be convinced he can compete with the best of the best, he has great ability I have never doubted that, you say he was built to beat holyfield, but how can you possibly justify that when he has never even beaten anyone that is even considered world class???

Holyfield has lost almost as many times at HW as he has knockouts... I can say with utmost confidence that you have never seen HOlyfield box. Holyfield did not have a good guard at all. he was known as a fighter with a terrible guard. He had awful head movement as well. Just watch him.

Listen at 3:20 in Bowe vs. holyfield one "One of the benefits to the audience is Holyfield is not a great defensive fighter, he does get hit."He barely moves his head. Look at how much grease is put on his forehead...why? because he cant avoid a jab.

You dont know what youre talking about.

Also what lesser puncher hurt Wlad? You mean Brewster who had a 74% KO% at HW? Or Corrie Sanders who had 68%? Or when he gassed against purrity in his first fight that went past 8 rounds? Oh and Purrity had 27 ko's on 31 wins. All better punchers than Holyfield. So what weaker puncher hurt Wlad?

Also I notice you dont mention when Bowe ko'ed holyfield, a fat out of shape Bowe. Holyfield would be killed by Wlad. Chambers would beat Holyfield, especially if you dont let Holyfield headbutt like he did Rahman.
