When do you think WLADIMIR Klitscko was in his prime?

[slimshandy69]

With a tough fight cming up, and a 10 year plus legacy. Wheat period do you think the best ever heavyweight looked his best?

Mine was chris byrd 2

I think around 5 years ago. I consider him prime when he fought Haye, too. I don't know if he is faded now, tonight maybe gives answers to this.

Vladimir had a relatively late prime, which isn't that unusual for heavyweights.

[LacedUp]

2005-2008 roughly.

[Simurgh]

Definitely not before Manny got involved. Than it took at least 2-3 years for Wlad to adopt the style.

I would say somewhere in-between 2 Thompson's fights (2008-2012)... Although he still looks very good. In his last fight I saw him doing some things he doesn't normally do..

[Crazylegs77]

Hard to say really, he is still performing well.
When was his last tough fight?
What time is the fight on in germany?

[Jedi Vader]

He's prime now.

Quickly getting in this thread in case he loses tonight.

[Szef]

He's prime now.

We both know you'll be jumping like a teenage girl on Bieber's concerts whenever Pulev lands a shot

Let's hope not. That's a lot of jumping, he might collapse from exhaustion.

he hit his prime late. Only a couple of years ago and he is close to prime now.

I personally think his prime started when he completely handled and beat up TT and his absolute peak was the following run of rights:

Chambers
Peters
Haye
Mormeck

Wlad looked unbeatable then, absolutely at top physical dominance.

I think he has slowed a tad bit now and seems to breath heavily down the stretch but he has enough to beat Pulev and do so convincingly.
