The Greatness of Wladimir Klitschko

[PainfromUkraine]

Jab jab clinch = top 5 best pure boxer in heavyweight history

Wlad is actually a very skilled heavyweight, especially for his size. Just because he has changed his style since 2004, doesn't negate what he has in his repertoire and what he CAN do and HAS done in the past. He still has great footwork, great jab and left hook, and pole of a right hand. In his prior offensive days, he exhibited a wider range of skills, although this negated the defense. Sure, he doesn't have much of an inside game, but he is an outside fighter...similar to Tyson fighting on the outside. You fight to the effectiveness of your physical dimensions.

Wlad isn't an Ali in terms of pure skills, but he is still fairly high up there, and definitely near/at the top for the true big, big men.

Would anyone bet $$$ on little Joe Frazier against Sam Peter?

I understand siding with the "golden age" gets you pats on the back on internet forums, but would you really bet money on him? I wouldn't.

Hell no, prime Peter was a mean and brutal fighter and has some boxing chops with power in both hands. Not to mention outweighed Frazier by 40 lbs. These guys are morons.

[Boxing Goat]

Frazier's resume literally craps all over Wladimirs.

There's another gem.

So I guess in your eyes, one win over Ali is better than a historical, almost ten year heavyweight title run with a dozen good victories during it.

Wow, I don't think you could possibly be more ignorant unless your screen name was "One more round".

Wlad could never box that way Douglas did that night, and Wlad doesn't fight on inside like Holyfield, he holds and Tyson would make Wlad **** himself once Wlad tried to huggy bear him

Would Tyson do the same as this?

They hate to see us on top.

Haha.

You'll make people laugh at you for quoting that.

In fact, I made a thread about this. I should bump it so you can see how idiotic everyone thinks you are.

Wow. Pass me whatever you're smoking, man.


I would bet every penny I owned on Frazier to destroy Sam Peter.

I don't care what he has in his arsenal - If he doesn't show it in fights against top opposition, it doesn't matter much to me.

He stinks the place out as soon as he fights someone half-decent e.g. Povetkin which was the worst display by a heavyweight champion I can ever recall.

Wlad wouldn't go near Tyson like that

You'd likely lose your money too, James Toney at heavyweight is a harder fight for Peters than Frazier would be.
Peters would atleast not have to go looking for Frazier, Joe would just be there allowing Peters to land on him at will I'm really surprised Frazier done all that bobbing and weaving because still yet doing it he still was so easy to hit.
