When was the last time a fighter threw combinations at Wlad?

[Tom Cruise]

I think a big problem Wlad opponents seem to have is that they can't throw a combo and maintain the correct distance.

Too many get too close (or allow Wlad to close the gap) and get tied up.

Wlad to his credit has an exceptional understanding of distance and is very rarely caught in his opponents punching range. I don't think there's anyone currently fighting at world level who will change this.

dude,,ive never seen a fan of a fighter not say at least one posititve thing about the guy. youre clearly a hater in disguise. just admit it

I've sang Wlads praises for years on here. Fan or not I will not justify what are truly b/s fights against painstakingly bad opposition.

Mormeck? Never beaten anyone ranked in the top 50 at HW
Mariuz Whack? Same as above
42yr old Thompson he'd already destroyed years earlier?
Pulev? Best win an even older more faded version of the above.
Pianeta? Best win a 47yr old Oliver McCall!
Leapai how could I forget him? Quite possibly the worst fighter to ever get a shot at a world title, absolutely horrendous.

Again its not Wlads fault and Povetkin was a good win (in ugly circumstances).

Wlad fans for most part are ridiculous not only do they criticise other fighters for their opposition despite them fighting better than Wladimir currently is, they justify it. They will justify a 43yr old Briggs next - A guy who hasn't beaten anybody credible since he practically lucked out against Liakovich who in reality was never a very good HW anyway going on 12 years back.

My problem isn't Wlads resume in whole, I think its better than most give it credit for its just his recent run.

dan_cov you are the worst wlad hater. can't believe you even tried to pretend to be a klitschko fan. it's obvious that anything you say is filled with bitterness and hate towards wlad and his success. grow up and find jesus you punk.

[LacedUp]

I think a better question would be, which of Wlad's opponents actually throw combinations in general, let alone against Wlad?

I've seen Dan defend Wladimir multiple times, saying he'd beat Lennox Lewis and feels he's an overall better fighter.

If you're criticizing something that is clearly critique worthy, you're automatically a pathetic hater in Klitschko land.

Why don't you actually look toward yourself and ask whether or not it's you who are wearing the rose tinted glasses.

[dan_cov]

I'm not saying its easy don't get me wrong Wlad is an excellent fighter and has mastered how to stop fighters working inside and its sure not easy to get past that ramrod jab.
But these guys come in, not in ideal shape, they're not very good anyway for most part & they seemingly don't take any risks.

Leapai to his credit - as much as he ******, at least he tried to close the distance by moving his head and applying pressure. He looked purposeful until unbelievably the guy gassed out in literally 30 seconds.
30 seconds and this guy was huffing and puffing He gassed out before he'd even thrown a punch

haye,,povetkin,,,brock... ibragimov and chambers are usually good combination punchers

I've seen Povetkin throw some great powerful combos before, but against Wlad he was either too far away getting punched, or too close getting clinched.

my bad if im wrong on dan. I dont recall many of his earlier posts so I apologize if I was wrong. you have to admit tho,,,there are many on here that have nothing at all but negative things to say about wlad which makes them obvious haters in my view. im obviously a wlad fan but im also critical of him when warranted

I think alot of it has to do with the size,,power and speed of wlad. I recall alot of past opponents mentioning he was much faster than he looks on tv. they get intimidated and dont wanna leave themselves open to anything. a good example is ibragimov. that guy is usually always ripping combinations but he was passive as hell against wlad
