    It might be. But it's not better suited for boxing than running is.

        Not sure why you would compare distance runners to Boxers. Other physical tools are needed besides stamina. It's apples and oranges. At best, you end up like Manny Pacquiao with stamina for days, which has a lot to do with genetics (or PED's if one believes in that theory), and not just training.

        Don't they advise even the best conditioned boxers not to burn themselves out by doing too much early, or trying to blow a guy out of there when it isn't time yet.
        I didn't say anything fighters doing stuff a certain way, I just explained the fact that muscle needs fuel.

        What's wrong with comparing two sports that require endurance?

        Other physical tools are needed but the most basic, which all others depend upon, is stamina. Mike Tyson would be able to bob and weave at a higher intensity if he had less muscle mass.

          Yes, it is. Your stamina and muscle strenght improve plus you don't put yourself in risk of unneccessary injury.

            who the hell thinks Wlad is Goat? Manny said #8 just to make Wlad feel good. otherwise he'd just cry. dude is a ***** and he tries to be serious before the fight and act like older brother.

            I wont be surprised if some1 like Lepai or whoever he fought, will catch his chin once...down goes wladimir..

              Yes one of the poster confirmed it was before the Haye fight so...
              It happened in 2011... not sure which month but I think the Haye fight was happening around June, god such a long time I forget.

              Either way its irrelevant.

                Wonder why you don't like Wlad... might have something to do with the fact he made Povetkin look like a child but hey that's not important I like Povetkin, no need to be bitter about it now is it?

                  I hope you aren't ******ed are you? if you don't know yet, there is a war in my country, meanwhile klitschko brothers invest in it, and civilians die daily. Also I never was Wlad's fan, I was Vitaly's fan. silly goose. and what about Povetkin again?

                    What matters is the numbers, not the names AT THIS POINT. We're done playing those games. The names have become subjective to the point where wins over the likes of Pulev are even criticized. This is of course opinion.



                    Title defenses, records of opponents are the only reliable data at this point. The criticism against Fury and Wilder are already waiting in the wings once they're beaten. What matters is that a 32-0, 32 ko's record will be 32-1 once Wlad is done with this prime, 6'7 opponent.
                    Wow, just wow.

                    Can't even find words.

                      Lmao, in what way does he fund them?
                      How much did they even fund them, haha 270'000 euros... which has been spent to protect their military personnel with better weapons, armour and so on big deal.
                      They didn't invest in the army buying shells, aircrafts or tanks so what is your point.
