Wlad Only Has Two Punches...

[Violent Demise]

He only uses 2. But he has more.

Wladimir Klitschko has got a decent left hook off the jab, i remember he wobbled Samuel Peter badly with that punch.

He knocked out Ray Austin with a left hook. He barely threw the right in that fight. The frustrating thing about watching Wlad is that he has a much larger arsenal than he chooses to use in a given fight. If he's tagging a guy with 1-2's and not getting hit, he'll just keep it up until a right lands perfect or he wins a UD. He doesn't get creative and take any chances to try to finish. He should have gotten Chagaev out there about round 5 if had any kind of killer instinct.

Well in all due respect, nobody knew how Ruslan would respond when hurt...he could react as most fighters do and tie up or get on the bike, but he COULD have responded like a Miguel Cotto and just went off and Wladimir is smart enough to realize that and there is very significant danger in jumping on a hurt fighter when they aren't ready to go....look how Lamon Brewster responded after Wlad threw everything at him.

Wladimir is a smart fighter and he keeps getting KO's so it doesn't really matter how he goes about getting them does it? He gets the KO, he dominates the fight, and he avoids major risk....he's very smart and because of that he's going to be very hard to beat.

I feel bad for whoever fights him next, he seems very pissed off at David Haye and I think he's going to take it out on whoever is infront of him be it Povetkin, Arreola, Haye or Valuev.

I just see a guy who has the physical ability and uses just enough to win with taking no chances at all. Manny Steward is right, he may end up in the hall, but the only think that is impressive to me is his jab, when he throws it as a punch and not a paw, and his right hand.

Ive seen his hook off the jab, it is all arm. It is the jab that does the damage. No question, he is great at throwing stiff staight punches. Thats all i see thought. I also get the impression that if he fought another good big man that goes after him, he would be in trouble because he needs space to work. His hands are low a lot too, these short guys just cant get over his jab.

[rjj tszyu]

Maybe, but damn them 2 are effective!

[Quinito]

Wlad throws variety of punches. I think what the thread starter talking about are his 2 money punches aka signature punches.

Wladimir Klitschko is just too scared of being knocked out, im not saying its the wrong thing to do. Protecting his weak chin behind the long jab, but come on it is a bit ridiculous.

Why in the world you have to fight scared against Hasim Rahman ? a shot one at that. A real Heavyweight champion would of finished Hasim Rahman inside of 4 rounds.

Im sorry but as BoomBoom said he may have the best wins on paper, at the moment in the Heavyweight division. But he is a total bore who has no killer instinct.

People hated on Larry Holmes for just using his jab, but Larry Holmes would take risks and he would use the jab. Not just to keep his opponents at bay, he would use it as a weapon and he wasn't afraid to mix it up. He also had the heart of champion, and he was in some of the most exciting fights in Heavyweight history.

If this is the way Wladimir Klitschko will keep fighting in the future, i would rather he retire. I didn't even bother watching his fight with Ruslan Chagev, because i knew it would be a bore. And by the comments i've seen it looks like i was right.

When i watched the Heavyweights in the late 90's early 00's. There was i time i would rush to go see the best Heavyweights fighting, now i really couldn't careless. And i think it goes to show how poor the division is, when i didn't even care about the supposedly best Heavyweight fighting.

So you must not be a Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, or Roy Jones fan either....Cause all three of those guys are careful defense oriented and do not like to take chances.......At least Wlad KO's most of his opponents....

Uhh please do not compare Wladimir Klitschko to those fighters, Roy Jones Jr was excellent to watch in his prime, he could rattle off 5 punch combinations in a blink of an eye, he also had spectacular KO's, and watching him avoid punches just by using his reflexes was masterful to watch.

Floyd Mayweather Jr may not be as exciting at the higher weightclasses, but thats because he's no longer the bigger man. Unlike Wladimir Klitschko has always been in all his fights, but he is still way more exciting to watch, and he has had some great exciting boxing masterclasses, and he's been in some dramatic exciting fights.

Bernard Hopkins hasn't been as fan friendly in the last few years or so, but when he is exciting which he has been quite alot of times. Especially in his younger career when he was a come-forward fighter. He is a pleasure to watch.

You cant compare Wlad to those 3. He is a heavyweight and usually has a big physical advantage over his opponents because there is no max. size a heavyweight needs to be. Those other guys fought within a limit. Plus all those guy would put blazing combination together and mix it up with their opponents.
