Is Wladimir 1-Dimensional?

[Manny_P]

I don't know who Barrera or Taylor are? Good one.

He is not one dimensional he jabs to set up his straight right hand, go ask Byrd if he seen it yet.

Wlad coulda have some variety but he don't. The fact that a jab alone can beat Byrd cuz he outweighed him by 30lbs is something significant. Byrd was a small guy, an uppacut coulda been used perfectly. BUT Wlad is 1 dimesional who only throws jabs and straights.

Who doesnt outweigh Byrd by in the heavyweight division 30lbs?? Despite being so much bigger Byrd was not able to use his amazing defense to make him look foolish. Even Evander who is lighter and should be quicker was looking foolish vs him.

where did i say wlad was a complete fighter manny

Wladimir is multi dimensional. His size. The quickness of his punches. His strength of his punches. His movement for being so big. Great defense. Emanual Steward. He is very dimensional.

I am wondering why this thread was created. Is it because Wladimir looked so good in this fight against Byrd, and the creator of this thread cannot believe what he just saw?

I mean cmon, I think Jermain Taylor beats Marco Antonio Barrera with jab and straight punches too.

i already explained to you that taylor/barrera is not a good comparison for wlad/byrd. this is a bad argument, you could find a better one

[moochi]

when you are that all and big, thats enough....at the least he wins by points...............

i still think he is over-rated, simply from the fact that most of his opponents are a lot smaller than him...

ppl say castillo cheated because he weighed in 2 lbs heavier!!!!...and wlad being 30 or so more at HW??,,,,yes they are the rules, but take in the consideration those factors mentioned!...

it makes me wonder how chris byrd (214) could have ever beaten jameel mccline (270). impossible by your logic!!

makes me respect wlad for beaten mccline, after all he was giving up 22 pounds to jameel, and people say castillo cheated cause of 2 pounds?

did Jameel hug Byrd after throwin punches like Wlad does? Seriously, hugging an opponent takes alot of energy from em AND ADDS frustration. Not to mention, an unlikable tactic unworthy of respect.


trust me, a guy huge (no ****) as Wlad don't need to hug opponents. He only does it to avoid gettin hit. Which is kinda lame a strategy.

dude, he threw uppercuts and showelhooks in his fight with byrd, ive also seen him going to the body its just seldom.

wlad fightssafe cause off his chin and thats why clinches and mainly thows jabs and straights
