Wladimir Klitschko and the skill conundrum - wider debate/discussion

[PainfromUkraine]

erm, heard of a certain Muhammad Ali? He dominated the division for half of the 1960s and did it just like that. Plus he didn't have the huge physical advantages in height and reach that Vitali enjoyed, so it was more difficult for him to use that style but he did it and did it far better than Vitali ever could. I odn't recall Vitali standing in the pocket as often as Ali or someone like Tyson, Holyfield or Frazier.

Vitali did have decent reflexes though but then again, so does Wlad, it's just that Vitali can rely on his chin to take a punch, Wlad can't and he panics.

Lol don't worry man I didn't forget Ali, just used Tyson as my example as he was more destructive IMO with KOs from combination punching. Ali had excellent combinations of course but not quite that overwhelming power like Tyson. In any case, I wasn't talking about the ATGs of the division, but more the average fighter at HW and a lot of champions who weren't as proficient combination punchers as Ali or Tyson.

After Fury said that, I thought of this:

It is very true actually. That's essentially this whole argument - whether you agree with a statement or philosophy like that or not.
