Thread: Klitscko's 4-connected-punches/rd.--worst in history?

Did Jack Johnson or Jack Dempsey orJoe Louis or Rocky Marciano or Muhammad Ali or Larry Holmes or Mike Tyson or Sonny Liston for example ever land a piss-poor four punches per round over a title fight? I don't think so.

That's simply had to be the worst performance by a heavyweight champion in the history of boxing. How he deserves a rematch is utterly Beyond anyone with even 25% of a brain.

Don't Klitschkos always put rematch clauses into contracts for themselves or their brother?

Not sure about that but I'll tell you what. His performance against Tyson Fury had to be the absolute worst performance of a heavyweight champion of all time. I think Buster Douglas at least threw more punches in his knockout loss to Evander Holyfield .... Klitschko did not try to hold onto his title against Tyson Fury

Old Wlad is shot, he's age 40 now.

Many heavyweights retired at a younger age.

Good topic, brock. Nothing like dumping more dirt on my least favorite HW champion ever. I went ahead and Googled it.

CompuBox: Fewest Punches Landed - 12 Round Title Fight - Boxing News


Seems like Klinchko is tied with James Bonecrusher Smith for fewest punches landed per round in a 12-round heavyweight title fight. Smith at least had the excuse that he was facing Tyson, a murderous terminator at that time (1987) who the entire division was scared shitless of.

However..... look at punches thrown per round. Klinchko has that category all to himself. Smith at least threw a still pitiful 22 punches per round. Bambi only managed to throw 19. So basically you're 100% correct. The WORST PERFORMANCE BY A HEAVYWEIGHT (cough) CHAMPION IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING. I think a plaque of some sort must be in order here.

If Wlad decides to slink off into the sunset..... good riddance.

Thanks for the props Tito. I just watch the fight today for the third time and that is counting the original live fight. It is absolutely amazing to see clinchco grabbing and grabbing and grabbing Fury around the head and hearing Roy Jones constantly saying that clinch Co simply refuses to punch. Roy Jones said it best that this was the first time this charlatan ever for anybody bigger than himself and that he is used to clinching the smaller guys and he just simply cannot fight inside he has no inside fight game. I have never seen a more piss poor performance and I fail to see any reason for a rematch at all. I have been saying since 2003 that if this guy ever fought someone his own size or bigger here he would not be able to pull off his b******* strategies. This was clearly proven Beyond a doubt in the fury fight.

There is no way that clinch Co could ever be considered an all-time great and all of those 18 successful title defenses have to be seen now in a completely different light. It also gives Credence to my theory over the past 10 years or so that there should be a super heavyweight division. There is no way that someone the size of clinch Co should be matched up against let's say a guy the size of Leon Spinks or Joe Frazier. People don't want to admit it because it makes their heads spin too much but size definitely does matter in the heavyweight division. That's why George Foreman completely eliminated Joe Frazier. That's why Lennox Lewis completely eliminated Mike Tyson. It is a very rare thing for a guy like Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier to beat people who are bigger than them. Mike Tyson did it too but like I said it is very very rare.

He landed 4 per round and fury landed 7-8 per round what a shit fight , Wlad needs to walk away he is shot.

in terms of results wlad is at his peak

take the first 4 rounds of any of his fights over the last 10 years and I bet the total punches per round aren't any more than 4

No.

Wladimir threw 545 punches against Jennings.

His output was very high against Wach. He averaged over 20 punches a round in the first four rounds against Pulev.

evidence?

and like I say tho, in terms of results he is at his peak, Jennings and pulev were 2 of his best wins and best performances

I think Tyson Fury is all wrong for Klitschko. Klitschko needs a fighter who is going to back up and cower/ smaller than him.

If you listen to Roy Jones doing the fight he was hitting the nail on the head all night long about Klitschko

He's a smart fighter.but that doesn't negate a single thing you've pointed out.

Rocky Marciano threw 75 punches a round, sometimes 110 (122 in several rounds against Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore!!!!,)

122.


Case closed.

the main difference between 2 awful fights - Tyson v Bonecrusher / Wlad v Fury is pretty simple , Smith landed 4 per round with a rampaging slugger coming at him , Wlad landed the same with a guy landing 7 punches per round on him.
So it shows the fact it went 12 rounds that Wlad is shot and has no punch output.
