Is Wladimir Klitschko a "Warrior" like Holyfield/Frazier/Marciano?

[Primo Carnera]

A gun shy champion who uses the tools he has to maximum effect - but never set the world alight doing it, despite having major size advantage in most fights. I'm trying to recall some Wlad victories by first or second round knockouts ??

Haye couldn't knock him out when he claimed he would but let's not forget Wlad said he'd knock out Haye too.

Had he been a few inches shorter he would have been an also ran.

What I been saying all along. If he couldn't lean back that one extra inch (bigger dudes like sanders caught his ass good) he'd have been KTFO!!!!! LONG AGO

If Granny had bollocks , I'd be calling her Grandad! It is what it is. Not everybody can be a brawling street fighter type that excites us, but we have to respect the skill he has.
I don't like the hugging, and especially against Povetkin , I had reservations about whether the ref was a plant. That was disgraceful, but Wlad can box , he didn't hug Pulev much, he put him away. And a lot of people were saying Pulev would be a tough fight.
We have to remember there is an art to Boxing and the idea is to hit and not get hit. Should he go out and take punches just for our benefit?
If you ask many brawlers or exciting fighters how they would prefer to fight if they could choose, and most would say that if they could, they would rather be the skilful classy type that doesn't get hit much.

Yes agreed - I'm just saying. That's the heavyweight division for you - unfortunately you can be fighting a huge motherfucker who you can't compete with physically.

I'm 5' 7 and if I had a fight with Danny DeVito , 5'0, when he was the same age as me I'd be embarrassed if I didn't blow him away in the first round never mind the second.

I understand what you're saying , but when you get to between say, 230 lbs and 260 lbs and 6 foot 3 and 6 foot 7, they can all bang hard enough to knock you out. So Wlad's 1st priority is to not put himself in a position to get KTFO . That may be negative, but he succeeds because of his jab and all round skillset.
I admit the Povetkin fight annoyed me because I thought he might be the one to challenge Wlad, and he must've been mega frustrated. He would've been better off getting DQ'd .
