Comments Thread For: Wladimir: After My Two Losses, Even Vitali Told Me To Quit

[jisi]

Wladimir and Emanuel Steward deserves a lot of respect! They stay together and they work very hard together.

Wlad is one of the best Heavyweights of all time together with Steward in his corner!

Great Champion!

Its good he changed his style, and found a plan to fit his limitations. You can see in the first Brewster fight he was starting to gas after the 3rd round. That is no way to be a championship caliber fighter. It may not be crowd pleasing, but who can argue with 13 consec wins and possibly to unify the heavyweight division. (outside of Vitali)

Yeah and even when lot's of people say he's boring, he is an idol in europe, he even got a 60,000 stadium full in his fight against Chagaev, so he hasn't lost in a long time, is a world champion, and people admire him. I don't think he's in debt to anyone.

Puts to bed previous bull**** claims of both Klitschkos that Wlad had been drugged in the Brewster fight. I mean, why would anybody want to retire from boxing after a defeat caused by toxic sabotage.

Wlad talks about this in the excellent Klitschko documentary.

Is the full documentary out yet?

Just goes to show what a true professional Wladimir is.Unlike many other boxers,Wlad managed to take two devestating losses and completely reinvented himself as a fighter.He shut down and eliminated the flaws in his game,and he's prevented any fighter from potentially exposing them.And in absorbing some of Sam Peter's best punches last September,he even seems to have full confidence in his punch resistance,too.



Only a truly great fighter can emerge from three crushing losses in today's era and gradually emerge as one of the finest and most dominating fighters in his division's history.Other than Wlad,no current fighter can claim to cleared out his division and dominated virtually ever credible contender available.So dominating that he is,he even has top contenders like Povetkin and,for a long time,Haye on the run in fear of his devestating right,his pulverizing jab,and the often overlooked punch - which,quite possibly,is the most powerful weapon in his entire arsenal - the left hook.

Interestingly Wlad said the same ("Please stay retired") to Vitali, after Vitali pulled out of the Rahman fight.

You gonna let your brother say that to you Wlad? Huh? He wanted you to QUIT! He was talking down to you, man. See, Vitali was always jealous. Wlad, it's time to beat up old bro and show him who's the real man. Wladimir vs Vitali 2012.

Never going to happen.

Exactly, the brothers just reacted how a loving brother should. Who wants to see a loved one risk their health if there is any doubt? Not I.
