More like illegally fouling his way to Ws over a collection of the most woeful opposition the HW division has ever seen. Wlad is just a more fundamentally sound version of Wilder. No inside game at all, just throws a long 1 2 and clinches. These limited tactics only can excel if you're fighting in the worst possible era in history and house refs letting you cheat constantly.
W. Klitschko was , reportedly, spitting up blood after the Jennings fight.

A guy with almost no amateur background and a total of 6 years boxing experience gave Wlad one of the toughest fights of his career lmao. This is what happens when you put athletes in the ring, they can adapt insanely fast.
Wlad has been boxing for how long, 25 years? Almost losing against a guy that barely stepped in a ring a few years ago lol. Imagine if guys like Jennings and Wilder had a solid amateur foundation, they'd be unbeatable in today's HW division.Comment

Those telegraphed lead left hooks Wlad throws only work on cement footed bums like Pulev.Comment

sorry i don't think clinching hundreds of times during a fight qualifies as good boxing. fury can actually punch and move, fight inside, dodge punches, and has a varied punch arsenal. wlad has more power but that's it. did you see fury moved around and out boxed chisora twice(a guy wlad ducked) if that was wlad fighting chisora he would have clinched 200 times. without the clinching what is wlad? a very mediocre fighter as we saw before he hooked up with steward who turned him into a clinch machine. his defensive reflexes are almost non existent. zero head movement, can't block or slip punches, and his stamina/ability to sustain moving around the ring was terrible. clinching solves all these problems for him but unfortunately its just not legal.Last edited by daggum; 06-17-2015, 10:41 PM.Comment

I would love to seem him try and do that. He'd be swallowing his teeth and out on the canvas inside 6 rounds if he tried those tactics for any extended period of time.
Wlad does have some ring intelligence so I except him to try and make it an outside chess match for as long as he can.Last edited by KnockoutNed; 06-17-2015, 10:57 PM.Comment
