wlad klit is doing the right thing, hes winning fights and getting hit as little as possible, he doesn't care how he fights, the german/eastern European fans would love him if he sat still in the ring for 12 rounds
the thread is about him being good enough to be in the top 10 of all time
I personally think that question is very hard to answer because it didn't matter where he fought, as he generated so much money for so many people he was allowed to "fight" in what ever way he wanted
holding and leaning is against the rules and his style was based on holding and leaning, punching was secondary
if the boxing rules were followed then who knows how good he would have been, I personally think he would have lost his championship long before he did
"Untasteful" isn't a word, "distasteful" or "in poor taste" would have worked, but I get the idea. Now here's the deal, with everyone saying Wlad has a glass chin, Wlad can't take a punch, etc had he fought in a manner which people wanted him to fight. They wanted him to fight like Holyfield or Bowe, give up the height, give up the reach, don't pay as close of attention to defense....odds are that Wlad or any boxer for that matter could end up like Mago or like Riddick Bowe. Boxing is a very dangerous sport so these calls of "Klitschko is a coward, Klitschko is afraid" etc are rich considering what can and has happened to other boxers.
Statistically he's more than qualified to be top 10 all time, and out of his boxing peers they would almost all agree, the majority would say he has been an all-time great champion...but you're entitled to your opinion and at least you wrote it out a lot better than most.

You're a very angry fellow... maybe you should start smoking pot, it might take the edge off!
There's more to life than just Clinch-ko fights and getting angry at women and lefties!

I'm not angry....I do smoke pot....try another joke, go on....amuse me, make me laugh clown
paying close attention to defense is one thing
basing your style on holding is a totally different scenario
Mayweather was defensive, unpleasant to watch but boxes within the rules
Wlad is defensive, unpleasant to watch and uses tactics that are against the rules
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
