Read this:
Boxing - I sparred with Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, David Tua and others
A nice perspective from someone who sparred them all!
P.s what class are we dismissing?
Have a bit more (i think iv made my point by now):
I usually don't care what trainers say but since Emanuel Stewart hits the nail on its head I want to quote him:
"What makes him really special also is he has so much power in the late rounds. A lot of guys, great punchers like ·Mike Tyson ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), they were great in the early rounds but very seldom in the late rounds. Wladimir has knocked out guys like he did with ·Chris Byrd ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), and ·RayAustin ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), and ·Eliseo Castillo ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) – he knocked those guys out early because he threw a punch early, an early power punch. And then he’s had the power to go out after being down three times with ·Samuel Peter ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and he had him out on his feet in the twelfth round of a very grueling fight with one single punch, a left hook. Then he knocked out ·Tony Thompson ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). With Tony Thompson he ran across the ring and threw one straight right hand in the eleventh round and just walked away, and Thompson went down totally finished. Now he knocks out this guy in the 12th round with ten or twelve seconds left with one punch. To have a fighter that has that kind of devastating one punch clean knockout power is so much stress on the opponent because you’re never safe."
(Emmanuel Stewart, HOF trainer of Wladimir Klitschko)
