Regardless of what anyone says, including Joshua. Wladimir Klitschko at 41 years of age cannot be compared to any version of Klitschko , say from 3 years before.. I recall when he began his career. He was an absolute killer, and when he progressed to better opposition he treated them just the same....

I disagree with you quite a bit. You quote a few Urban Legends.... he said this he said that...Take Ezzard, for instance a GREAT light heavy..But when he fought Marciano he was very much USED UP. Here's why. He'd had nearly a HUNDRED pro fights. Most of them battles, especially after he lost to Jersey...

I always felt that Hagler beat Leonard that night.
Also that Duran just didn't barely beat him, but beat him well. Gave him what he was taking and much more.

But...so far, he's no Shane Mosley., who was a straight killer with even more speed...

He may have a plan to win. All boers do. But he may be counting the huge cash purse too. The latter more likely. He was outclassed big time. His disabilities which were starkly shown , and the admissions by Hearn are proof enough that they though Bivol was slipping, beciase of his previous 2 fights....

I've just checked his boxing record and see that he's fought a total of 140 minutes. in the rirng, 30 fights, averaging just over 4 mins. ........Hmmm VERY impressive.

I don't count rounds that last 25 secs, I just add the secs together, and get a rough estimate.

Had a look...
