Is Vitali Klitschkos power vastly overrated?

[jimmy1569]

God, this jimmy guy just keeps rabbiting on, doesn't he?

Perhaps this Jimmy guy might be on to something...you should heed his words...he talketh da truth.

Is he a hard puncher?
yes!
Is his power overrated around here?
yes

Vitali hits hard, but isn't a one punch KO artist. The myth of his devestating one punch power comes from people who base his power on his record, he hits hard as hell, but he wears guys down and then knocks them out. Wladimir has more one punch power, IMO.

People tend to forget that VITALI took the fight on short notice without a good training camp!!!!

Lennox is a big dude, are you ******ed

[Naps]

look at shannon briggs face and ask the question again

So Calzaghe displayed great power against lacy and hypejob RJJ?

That being said Lennox had a great chin.

One more thing.. he's a badass..lean & mean. He's one of the few aside for maybe Foreman or Sonny Liston who would have an invincible Mike Tyson pissing in his pants at the prefight staredowns. Vitali is intimidated by NO one. He was piercing right through Lewis in there prefight staredowns...nuff said. He wanted to destroy Hasim Rahman in there one & only staredown for calling him "chicken". Hasim is LUCKY Vitali sustained all those injuries as the beating he would've gotten for questioning Vk's manhood would've at the very least been career ending. The 2 fights that should've happened for closure is the Byrd rematch & Rahman. Lewis rematch never happened but Vk MORE than made his point. Byrd & Rahman needed to get ktfo by him & NOT by his brother just on principal.. Oh well..you can't have a perfect career.. a 50-0 Vitali KLITSCHKO would just be too much evidence...so it has to be 42-2....It's like god said we have to make you completely dominant but have to give you a couple of blemishes along the way so they REALLY don't think you're a programmed robot & are indeed human..hence the 2 blemishes on his record due to a failure of his physical health & nothing else.

Guys..power is NOT measured by one punch alone...it's the consistent power of Vitali Klitschko that sets him apart from everyone else....he throws powerful shots throughout a fight & takes a little steam off of them so as to NOT put him out of position to throw the successive punches... he doesn't need to wind up or be set to throw a punch & can throw it from all sorts of angles.

He very rarely throws his homerun punch in a fight..esp. these days but the results somehow always mange to be the same 89% of the time. A Vitali that commits to his punches is NOT A punch you or i would want to be hit with..it may Not ALWAYS put you down but it's effect is noticed by his opponent.

Vitali does too have one punch knockdown power & has sent plenty to the canvas with one shot... he just doesn't do it as consistently as he used to due to all his knee..back & shoulder injuries. He used to throw the straight right hand numerous times in his fights..now he rarely does. & let's face it he got 2 of his last 3 opponents out of there with a single shot & destroyed bRIGGS with numerous consistent hard shots.

I personally think HE liked Briggs & was peeved to have committed such damage to him but was in a catch-28 as he didn't want to hurt him badly by finishing him off & wound up doing so anyways. His thinking was the accumulation would make him succumb & he didn't want to go all out on him..remember they were fishing buddies in training camp & he was providing the brothers with entertainment before the fight..selling it as well.

Vitali's power demise is greatly exaggerated... he just enjoys the pizza faces he creates more than back in the day when he had no patience... & everyone got knocked out within 3-4 rds tops.

One more thing.. Vitali's punches land you in a hospital bed for about a week after the fight. This is his latest experiment if you dare to fight him. Dude has won practically every single rd since he came back... ko'ed 5 of the 7 opponents is 7-0 & these are all championship bouts... & he's slowing down because a Sosnowski or A Solis got a few punches in? They BOTH got ktfo with one punch in the end. Vitali's slowed down..he's there for the taking..he's pushing 40.... i got news for you haters.. Vitali could come to a crippling halt & still outbox you... he's done it be4. So keep talking out of your asssssses. Vitali is NOT only the most dominant puncher in history..he's the most dominant 40 yr old fighter in the history of boxing as well. These are the painful facts & that's the real reality y'all all are refusing to absorb.

Wrong. Vitali had a full training camp, he was on the undercard of Lewis-Johnson and when Johnson pulled out he was moved to the main event. Watch the full HBO broadcast, Vitali talks about this and being in the best shape of his life.
