Thread: Does Wlad have jab or what

I think Wlad's jab will be legendary to the fans of boxing and dreaded by all opponents.

....I can tell you right now there are some very good fighters out there who don't like that jab at all....pretty much everyone except Corrie Sanders

I think that fight is Wlad's toughest right now...and I'd still give Peter a decent shot at it. If Peter wins his next fightm a unification with Wlad would be HUGE!!

He is becoming so much less robotic and relaxed. Not fully there yet but is a lot less then he was 3 years ago. I think it makes Wlad a better fighter by far. Vitaly was becoming mor loose in every fight until he retired. I have to give the credit for that to Emmanual Steward. Wlad is without a doubt the best HW in the world right now

big vladdy will not lose to any current fighter


also i wouldnt mind watch8ing peter KTFO brewster

WLAD THE IMPALER NEED I SAY ANYMORE TO THIS POST

hmmmm...he isnt just a tall heavyweight with a jab, he's the tallest heavyweight who makes the most use of the jab...which trumps the rest of the division because they is no one out there especially talented who can get inside and mount a successful body attack (maybe Peter) and there is no one his size who has any skill at all. I thought he made good use of the jab but it was all he did and it made for a pretty boring fight. i thought if klitchko was that good he should have thrown more power shots off the jab and finished Brewster off...the guy was dead in the water after the fourth. Wladimir is way too careful and it could be his undoing as he gets tired in there eventually and becomes super vulnerable because he has a fragile chin for a heavyweight. He should look to end fights sooner to avoid giving his opponents that chance although it definitely wasnt looking like it was an issue at any point tonight...boring but successful and technical showing by W.Klitschko. If he takes out Sam Peter then he gets my nod as the true heavyweight champ of the world, but until then, it's anybody's game IMO.

Vlad I do not see that. He is robotic and slow on his feet but he has quick hands and really benefits from size mainly and lack of good heavyweights.

WLad is a head above the rest of the HW division IMO, we're looking at a guy with incredible boxing skills to go along with his incredible physical attributes.

His robotic movement is nothing like it used to be he is moving great. His jab is like a piston. He is eveloping his own style slowly

He did look good and if he gets the jab going he's pretty much unbeatable i think.

Yeah - but remember that the guy is HUGE! For his size, he's moving extremely well, both in and out and laterally. He's not going to look like PBF in the ring - that's obvious - but he's a lot more fluid than some other fighters that big!

I don't think the heavyweights are bad....that's all people have said since ALI retired, they only liked Tyson because he KO'd all of them but it wasn't a competitive era.

This era is competitive and it's also the era after the good heavyweights of the 90's: Lewis is retired, Holyfield SHOULD retire as should Bowe, Tyson is done, Mercer is gone, Morrison has HIV, Tua is done for, Ibeabuchi is in jail, and hey we have what we have and Wlad is beating the best they can find.

Bad fights are being made and therefore we don't have a dominant champion but if we did have those fights made Wlad would be the guy

Funny because all of the comentators always comment on how well he moves for a big man.He is not slow on his feet or robotic, he is a great boxer that is why he won 134 out of 140 fights as an amateur because he was quick and outboxed his oposition, his height didn't play a big part of that.
