has any fighter ever leaned and grabbed as much as Klitschko?

[beez721]

I'm watching some Wladimir Klitschko fights right now because of the shannon briggs hype and it's unbearable. This **** is is literally unwatchable. I have never seen anyone lean and grab so much in my life and I haven't even gotten halfway through the first round.

are you serious? youve never seen hopkins ,,ward or others box? it was only the povetkin and first peter fight where wlad clinched over excessively

Better question would be "Has any fighter had such a weight and height advantage like the Klitschkos". I don't see how special these guys are beating fighters much smaller and weaker then them.

why wasn't primo carnera a great?

jess willard?



they regularly had a much greater size advantage.

Ali was taller and heavier than the vast majority of his opponents.

klitschko is a really good fighter, and i enjoy watching him, you learn some good stuff, but the povetkin fight was horrible

klitschko is very good, hes just a wimp on the inside. He knows if he doesnt clinch he will get hit so he avoids even if it means clinching the whole round.

He has the skill to knockout guys in 4 rounds max, but he is way to scared and conservative he drags the fight into unneeded distances. Even emmanuel steward has said this

[Larry the boss]

Floyd and Ward do a lot of holding and they are considered "master boxers" so I guess it's ok for boring ass Wlad to hold too.

Floyd held a lot in 1 fight at 37..stop it

^^^this. the hate for the klitschkos is unreal.

Wladimir Klitschko has surpassed Muhammad Ali and John Ruiz in wrestling, it's true.

Also, The FOTC Ali v Frazier, previously the huggiest fight of all time was surpassed by Wladimir vs Povetkin by far, unfortuanately validating that past event and fuelling hatred for the former Soviet boxer.

It should be noted that whilst Ali's clinching would be considered illegal and lead to certain disqualification now, Wladimir's is legal, however excessive.
