The thing I respect most about Wlad......

[Earl-Hickey]

Is that the man managed to rebuild himself from rock bottom, after losing three times he really did hit on hard times, his self belief must have been shattered and his image was in tatters. The strength it must have took to pick himself up, get back in the gym and carry on deserves some serious respect.

We all in our own lives have either hit, or come close to rock bottom, and I think a guy like Wladamir Klitschko is an inspiration to all of us that no matter how bad things get, if you continue on and put effort in to fix your mistakes, you can reach not only the top, but become one of the most respected people in your field.

Some people may not like Wladamir or enjoy his fights, but you HAVE to respect him, he made it that way, and if you don't I guess there is something wrong with you

Yes, I have thought about this too, Wlad is a great human being.

It's definitely one of the more underrated things about Wlad, and belies the nonsense about him having no heart or courage.

Truthfully these accusations are complete nonsense.

A number of people who still have heart and courage would have given up, Wlad has demonstrated those qualities in abundance to scratch and claw his way from the bottom to the very very top, he has fully earned the right to stand up and say I DID IT, I GOT THERE. I wish him nothing but the best.

thing is wlad was schooling the guys he lost to, (bar corrie who caught him by surprise), so it was not as if he was getting out classed.

Mnany stewart really has seen the talent in Wlad and homed him well.

But even manny wants wlad to be more adventurous...

[Uturn]

Wlad hadn't much choice to adapt to his currently style. He was a sloppy fighter that lost ******ly against mediocre opposition.

I'm still not sure about his mentality though. Something tells me Wlad might fold under the pressure of Haye again, but I hope that's not the case.

good post, green k

Why because got KOed a few times and still continued to fight.

Great human beings are people like Nelson Mandela, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci.

The thing I respect about him is he has the most booring style of fighting scared yet he wins and wont change the formula even though he could and probably still be as successful with a few more risks.
Have to admire him for sticking to his booring style even when a good chunk of the boxing fans and fraternity openly say it's a snoozefest....fair play, he does what he wants and not what the millions of others around the world would like him to do. Can only admire his steadfast.

The people that have no respect for the man are clowns in the main. He was written off by these people more than once but refused to accept defeat and came back stronger each time. It takes a strong mentality to accomplish that.
