Wlad Only Has Two Punches...

Only 2? What does that say about the heavyweights who cannot figure him out?

They are either too small or too lazy. Hes just so big and strong that everything usually goes out the window when he lands the first right hand. He also knows his range very well, I give him credit for that and his timing.

Wlad KO'd Ray Austin in two and didnt even throw a right hand. Wlad has a better arsenal than most lower weight class fighters. Wlad hooks off the jab better than any fighter I have ever watched. He didnt even use that vs Ruslan. Is the Ruslan fight the only one of Wlad's you have watched?

[Majesty]

No disrespect but from, what ive seen of him he isn't that good. He just has physical and height advantages over everyone else in the division. He's sort of like the LeBron James of boxing. He looks good only because he has no one else to challenge him in his position. As Lebron has maybe only one or two people at Small Forward that are good defenders to challenge him in the NBA so he is very dominant. Wladimer has no one that can match his height or physical talents in the heavyweight division so he looks dominant. Its probably why he isn't gonna lose anytime soon but he is the best heavyweight in the division not because he's ultra super skilled but because he is a big fish in a small pond.

[Nameless]

If with only 2 good punches he mangles the whole division repeatedly, I really don't want to see what he could do if he decides to do more. Boring? Well, he's a Kronk Gym's type of fighter. Effective? Nothing better in the division, at the moment (except perhaps his brother).

Majesty, i think you got it exactly right. His huge physical advantages gives him a big edge over almost anyone. The skills of his opponents usually only dictates how many round the will last with him, but even a much more skilled fighter than himself would still be overwhelmed by his size/power.

[Spicoli]

I dont think its a case of heart or desire as much as his previous defeats being in the back of his mind.Tea spilled over shit.He has honed up his defense behind an often floatie buffer zone jab in a big way to keep his chin insured.I think that eventually someone will drag him into a fire fight and he'll have to press forward to make it through....show the mentality of a finisher when its not on his terms.He needs to bring that righthand more.....its a wrecking ball.He may be smart to steer away from throwing too many uppercuts.Leaves him all heeeeello and bent over.

[BoxingGorilla]

I do wish Wlad would throw one of those steel-hammer righthand shots into someones guts now and again.

The good Doctor will loose sooner or later and it will be a case of a big punch sneaking around that telephone pole he shoves up a fighters nose.

It gets old after awhile, Dr. Klitschko. You are becoming the Lance Armstrong of heavyweight boxing. Soon the big speculation will be which man is the second best. Oh, that would be your carbon copy brother...

Klitschko is a perfect 101 Boxer. If you have an athletic fighter who is taller than his opponents pop in a video of Wlad and say this is exactly how you out box your opponent by throwing the one two. He is perfect, but in terms of excitiment he is very boring which does hurt how you compare him with the all-time greats. Why is Mike Tyson so popular and why is he in the top 10 Heavyweight boxers of all-time is because he is exciting.

It seems so weird to me when Vlad fights these shorter guys. The best analogy I have to compare him to a snake charmer. Once he starts popping them in the face with that hard jab, after backing off a couple of times, they start to fall into a pattern of just standing there right in the range of it and his right! Byrd, Ibragimov, Chagaev, and I can't remember if Rahman at least tried moved to around and give angles.

The taller guys it makes more sense that they have to go after him more or less on the same terms, but time and again I expect these smaller guys to dip in, get inside, turn Vlad, and use angles. Instead they just stand right at the end of his punches and get hammered!

[Pugilistic]

Wlad only really uses his jab and right hand because he doesn't have to use any other punches. He's so dominant with them.

he also has a good left hook, i would like if he used it more often though.

I would also like to see him work an opponents body, he could of taken out alot of guys sooner if he went downstairs sometimes.

[boozeboxer]

the hard punch and the really hard punch?
