Why Wlad will become the next champion

[Nautilus]

You're only as good as your last fight. Make that 2 fights.

I don't need to be redundant and quote all the posters in this thread nautilus.

Don't. We just like your avatar, and not your arguments.

Hey I don't have problem with that arguement, amateur or proffesional that's still boxing and I love both. I only mentioned that, to point out that difference in STAMINA requirements in order to be a champ in the amateur ranks than in the PRO.

Perfectly agree.

The relevant question is how much Wlad and Vitaly can squat.
The sheer volume of muscle is not so important. That's why Arnold never was and never could be the weight-lifting champion like Vlasov. There is a correlation between volume and power, but it is not as strong as one might think.

believe me i dont think they squat at all 22 inches is nothiing at heavy weight..there hasnt been a heavyweight champion with legs that small since tony tucker and before that the early 40s

Squatting has more to do with weightlifting than boxing. And muscles won't stop TOS from KTFO'ing Wlad.

Example: Tito and Joppy. Joppy had muscles, Tito knocked him out.

Arguments? What arguments?

You may be right, but I'll present a differing point of view.

I seriously did weightlifting at some point. I was a champion of my home city, the third largest city in Russia, by the age of 20. (I quit at 20 to go to US for my PhD). I have seen couple of very slim guys who could really LIFT ! They had no thighs but they could really LIFT; somehow they did not need large muscles to do that. I think Wlad and Vit have that "slim" body type. They do not have large muscles compared to Tyson, but I think they are strong.

you need both the skill and the muscles if you just have muscles youll always lose to skill but if you have both then you can be great.. i think its more likely that williams beat vitali

It will be over in 2 rounds, just like with K. Johnson. K. Johnson had high-volume thighs, and that did help him drop on his bottom smoothly.

Funny how Wlad has never been KO'd yet Roidless Jones has been KO'd twice.

typical of what a wlad fanboy would say a tko stands for technical KNOCKOUT

He's never been knocked out by a single punch. I think that's what Neuraxis meant.

If you want to be technical, fine. If a boxer wins by KO/TKO, it still counts on the "win by knockout" total of a fighter's record.

Example: Tito is 41-1 with 34 knockouts. He didn't win all 34 by "KO", some by KO and some by TKO. But they are statistically the same.
