Tyson, Foreman, and Joe Frazier...those guys used their power more specifically the threat of their power as a defense which is why in some of their fights you see guys afraid to throw punches at them. Wladimir Klitschko's jab and hooking off the jab is used to protect range and keep his opponent at distance therefore limiting any solid retaliation.

I'm truly amazed you managed to get Wlad into a thread about offensive fighters! ;D

Well given the title of the thread I figured he fit the mold....his offense and the threat of his punching power keeps the guys he fights from attacking him. What's wrong with mentioning that? The constant use of his jab has really limited Wlad's need for defense (eventhough his defense has improved)
