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.
