Great Technical Boxers Limited by Mentality

Wladimer Klitschko

...yeah because being THE Heavyweight Champion of the world just isn't hitting the top of your game

Mike Tyson isn't walking through that door Majesty so why don't you go watch Butterbean or something, that's what you want right A guy who will "mix it up", a guy who "takes chances"....BOXING is hit and don't get hit, it's not a fucking Toughman competition.

I look at this thread and I read "Great Technical Boxers Limited by Mentality" which to me means "guys who had some skill but because of their mindset or some mental issues they could not achieve their potential" Wladimir Klitschko is a 3 time Heavyweight champion, he's The Ring magazine Heavyweight champion, he holds the IBF and WBO belts and just dominated the #3 ranked heavyweight in the world and you think he's limited by his mentality Maybe you think he could achieve more than he has....that's fine and dandy but there's not much left for him to do other than defend his titles vs whatever the division can throw at him. Winning 53 fights and scoring 47 stoppages vs top level competition is pretty impressive. This is not about whether you appreciate Wlad's style or like watching his fights it's about guys who reached their potential and I would say Wlad has pretty much reached his potential and therefore wouldn't belong on this list....meanwhile someone like Michael Grant WOULD be on this list.

Exactly, the name of the game is to hit and not be hit. I think the guy is a genius in the ring, using all of his god given abilities to his advantage. It would be stupid not to. Most fight fans loves a fighter/brawler like Julio Cesar Chavez or Marvin Hagler but very few guys could pull that off. If you have other abilities at your disposal, why not use them?
