Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time: The Klitschkos Pt. 1 - Wladimir

[SN!PER]

He cheated, and had one of the most boring styles I've ever seen.

Wlad vs. Povetkin was one of the P4P worst heavyweight title fights of all time.

[Bunch Pag]

Ruled in a era of averageness..

Boring yet predictable fighter.

Excellent businessman though and knew how to work the media and everyone around him...

Only Vitali should be mentioned. Top 10 easy. Barely lost any rounds his whole career. Vlad, no chin, embarrassing loses, fought weak competition, used his height to grab jab hold jab right hold,,,BORING and not impressive.

You can say the same about Fury, aweful to watch. Grabbing and clinching all the time.

I am European, but Klitschko era was boring as hell. Vitali was unbeatable for guys lik Peter, Solis, Chisora, Sosnowski, Gomez, Arreola and other nohopers. Just like Wladimir for Pulev, Mormeck, Haye, Chambers, Rahman, Chagaev, Pianeta and others. Only them fighting each other would make sense, but that never happened because they are brothers.

I like this era much more with Fury -Wilder fights, Joshua -Ruiz surprise and Fury and Joshua expected to fight each other.

I love this series... one of the best reads in boxing

Much appreciated. Already at work on part two.

The King of Heavies ruled for a decade! An Olympic Gold medalist with the best jab in the business, he beat all types of @sses, even after losing his REAL trainer.
In his prime he would beat Fury, AJ and Wilder like they stole something, no doubt. Wlad was a machine!

[Oldskoolg]

He rules the worst era in heavyweight history and still manger to heat himself knocked out 4 times and soundly outboxed by fury. Would not have fared well in the 90s but sheer size would have him defeating the smaller heavyweights of earlier eras....but some of them would have even hit way too hard for him.
Among the era with Holyfield, Lewis, bowe, etc, he would have been knocked out

Seconded on the props. It's good to read an objective piece on Wladimir's career that discusses the positives and negatives, and weighing it all up. Very polarising champion, but his run at the top cannot be denied.

Wlad is an all time great heavyweight.....always reminded me of a bigger joe louis


great punching technique, keeps getting up when hurt or dropped, very accurate which makes him the best puncher of his era, but just vulnerable enough to make for some exciting fights and unexpected upsets....both went on to become better fighters after they lost


Wlad gets a wrap for being boring but he is an all time top ten heavyweight champion in my book.....he earned it

I don` know. 90s are overrated in my book. And Holyfield was later stopped by fat middleweight.
