Klitschko appreciation thread

[A_Jeffrey]

That's moron logic. My uncle is a BodyGuard and was trained in hand to hand combat for the last 15 years. He's 35, around 6'4 and 235 pounds. He will kill Wladimir in a street fight within 30-40 seconds flat.

That amounts to jack **** in terms of boxing greatness.

You are actually saying 'Wlad is greater than Floyd, because Wlad can beat Floyd 1v1..' that's ******ed.


and no.. don't even bother to argue that Wladimir Klitschko can survive against a trained bodyguard in a street fight..


It's gonna be funny as ****.. when these Eastern European nut huggers start talking about P4P when Lomachenko becomes great... and start bashing the Heavyweights..........

Did your uncle also tell you he can beat Ali, Tyson, and Foreman, then go to UFC and defeat Velasquez?






















and then did another hit from a pipe

[dirty fingers]

And still heavyweight champion of the world...

Dr. Steelhammer Wladimir Klitschko!

[Weltschmerz]

Wladimir is now the longest reigning IBF, WBO & IBO Heavyweight Champion in history with the most title defenses for those organizations. Overall, he is the 2nd longest reigning Heavyweight Champion of all time with the 3rd most successful title defenses at 15. On the 13th October 2013, Boxrec rated Klitschko as the number 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Ring Magazine currently rates Klitschko as the number four pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Wladimir (22–2) is no. 3 on the all time list for most heavyweight title fights, only behind Joe Louis (26–1) & Muhammad Ali (24–3).

>>>ALL TIME GREATNESS<<<

Exactly.

[Weltschmerz]

The Klitschkos possess a unique and close to unbeatable combination of size and technique perhaps only rivaled by Lennox Lewis in historic terms. Wladimir has as good as perfected being a master of boxing's defensive arts, with truly amazing speed and footwork for a man his size, combined with an accuracy of punch that ensures every shot he throws forces his opponent to react or risk facing the full force of a potentially catastrophic Klitschko homing missile.

Put them in any era of boxing, even in the late 60s to early 70s when the pool of heavyweight talent was at its deepest (Golden Era), and there's no doubting that the Klitschko brothers have the size and the skill to get to the very top.

Vitali is literally helping to build a new nation. This is much bigger than boxing. We're seeing the history books being written here. While I'm not very familiar with his political views, he's clearly very passionate about his country. I assume he'd be a highly diplomatic leader, using his international media presence and life experiences abroad to be a good representative for his people.

From what I've seen and read so far, Vitali seems to have made an effort (with little success) pacifying the hardcore protestors getting into violent clashes with police. In the meantime, the government has brought into effect a new law that makes demonstrating in the streets of Ukraine even more difficult, allowing for law enforcement to strike down hard on public protests. A very difficult situation indeed in the brothers home country. Seems the only solution is political dialogue, but there is a lot of bitterness and resentment among the general public.

Vitali and his party UDAR ('Punch' in Ukrainian) is working for political reform, anti-corruption, modernization and increased EU integration, among many other things.

Great fighters and great men. Two of the best role models the sport has had.
