The Greatness of Wladimir Klitschko

[Boxing Goat]

He's so skilled he went life and death with Marco Huck.

I already touched on that subject a few pages back. Go check it out.

So did Joe Frazier. Oh but I forgot heavyweights of the past were unathletic, especially Frazier.

So where does the cut off begin where boxing somehow "evolved" as you guys love to say?

Don't forget Ali, Foreman, and Patterson won gold medals as well.

All athletics have evolved gradually. To say it hasn't is pure ignorance.

Athletes are faster, stronger and smarter than they were even 20-30 years ago.

So did Wlad and Solis, what's your point?

OK, please, enlighten us. How are modern fighters more skilled?

My point is that past fighters also won gold medals.

And Solis winning a gold medal proves that gold medals don't mean **** in the pros.

Those fighters would never even get a title shot in today's division. Just too small.

Strip the flab off of Eddie Chambers and he's smaller than Louis. But you already know that.

First off, I didn't say they are more skilled. But, yes I believe they are. For one, Wladimir barely gets touched or loses a round in his historic title reign while past long term champs lose or almost lose during their tenure. Lennox Lewis and Ali are ATG's and are both good examples. Wlad is at his peak and is nearly untouchable. Even if his style is not always aesthetically pleasing, there's no doubting it's effectiveness.

Not size-wize they don't

And that extra size helps Leapai so much doesn't it? Makes him so hard to stop

Smarter as well now

And I am really tired of saying this but I'll restate it for the benefit of the ******ed (yourself):

Boxing isn't a sprint, high jump or long jump event. Athleticism plays a role, but not always a deciding one. Boxing is a sport that is heavily skill based as well as drawing on athletic talent. Making it a very unique sport. A sport that is hard to understand for imbeciles such as yourself.

Oh wait I forgot about the drastic advancements that have been made in boxing techniques over the last...how many years? I mean, you can really see that in the ferocious and high calibre heavyweight battles we have seen lately
