Yeah; Vladimir suck because he sucked not because he is 39 years old. Jersey Joe Walcott was 39 years old and he threw 65 punches around for 15 rounds against Rocky Marciano Landing almost 40% of his blows. That's equal to about 10 flat Amir Klitschko fights combined in punch output


Ex-fukking-actly!!

I'm not letting Wlad off the hook with the "he's shot" excuse. To say he's "shot" implies that he was a barnburner style fighter before that. An aggressive, offensively-minded, Tyson-like destroyer who went out of his way to destroy fighters. And bringing up his KO record means diddly squat. 90% of those guys were scared little lambs being led to slaughter. Look at big bad Ray Austin, who cowered like a stepchild caught with his hand in the cookie jar.... looking for a soft spot to land. Wlad was a grappler, who grabbed, mauled, clinched, fouled.... and otherwise frustrated the fukk out of the few brave fighters who actually tried to win against him (see: Povetkin). When he went up against someone his own size who wasn't actually scared of him (ie: Fury).... he fought just like I KNEW he would fight. Like Bambi reaching out for a wild berry in the middle of a hail of gunfire.

Absolutely Brock. Let's get back to Wlad-bashing, one of my favorite pasttimes.
