[QUOTE=Derranged;1876101]Klitschko is a B-class fighter and he has been beaten by C-class opponents.
Im sorry but Wladimir is NOT a B class fighter, period.
However, your're right in the sense that NOBODY is a perfect fighter. Maybe Wladimir has those flaws, and maybe Brock can use those to his advantage. The only guy to beat or trouble Wladimir a lot without just relentlessly driving foward was Sanders. Whatever it was, he found something flawed, not quite sure, but he was able to land that left easily.
Sanders did to Wladimir what he tried to do to Vitali, slip left, straightleft. Being a southpaw, it works very well against that robotic European style. He came close but couldn't quite pull it off against Vitali for two reasons: Vitali was waiting for it and Sanders timing was off due to lack of fitness. Byrd may have tried it too, but he didn't come to fight, he came to lose.Comment

For brock to beat Wlad he'd have to carry the tempo, get on the inside stay in his chest to smother wlads punches and make him fight a fast fight. Wlad would eventually tire out and and Brock coulda capitalize by teeing off at will at a tired and slow klit.
Is that gonna happen, highly unlikely but thats what i think he needs to do.Comment

On the face of it Klitschko is the best of a bad lot, but he is vulnerable to an opponent who does his homework and comes to fight. Quite honestly I am not sure that Brock is the man to topple Klitschko although it is well within his ability to do so. I saw him struggle against McCline, but most of that struggle was unnecessary. Brock made it difficult for himself. McCline can't deal with lateral head movement that is why Bryd hit him so easily. Klitschko now likes to play huggy-bear, apparently he thinks the John Ruiz style is a good way to fight. Ok, what is Brock going to do about it? He should be learning how to time an uppercut. But what he is probably going to do is snivel and whine about it after he loses the fight.
i'm normally not one to say something that could be offensive, but your post is ****in' ridiculous and had to be called out. i mean, really - calling a guy who has one of the best offensive arsenals in heavyweight history a b class fighter is going to kill any credibility you have, or had.
he fights like john ruiz? somebody get this guy a copy of a john ruiz fight.Comment

IMO, Brock might have a chance against Klitschko if he adopted the "peek-a-boo" style introduced by Patterson and perfected by Iron Mike Tyson.
Brock has the perfect height and build to suit this style. However, the question here is; does he have the physical and mental conditioning to adapt and change from his regular style.
Does anyone here think that the peek-a-boo style would suit Brock and help him to win?Comment

Yea, Wlad does hold a bit more than I would like him to but he's nothing like Ruiz. Ruiz holds WAAAAAYYYY more.Comment
