Re: Subpar Foe Doesn't Mean Klitschko's Not An All-Timer
Your a hardline on that Wlad cheating thing aren't you eric..
Yes, Wladimir doesn't know how to box. I would say that nobody revolutionised boxing like Wladimir did. He proved that all those things that those previous champs did were unnecessary in the case of himself and next to worthless in the case of his opponents.
Every opponent has the same plan. They're going to move, they're going to feint, they're going to go to the body blah blah and then when the fight comes, it's not that they aren't good. It's that they can't!
Did you watch the Thompson and Wach fights again? MOST of Wladimir's fights are boxing matches with only a little wrestling.
Povetkin and Peter are the worst examples, nothing else is that bad.
He's had some stinkers like Ibragimov but that was about as pure a boxing match as you can get.
He just unfortunately doesn't have a crowd pleasing style at best, but why would he want to jeapordise his titles by being a reckless brawler if he doesn't have to?
