Dominance! (There will be spoilers about Wlad-Chambers)

[Taeth]

When will this guy become a top 10 p4p?I hope this cements him as one of the best in the sport. Wladimir Klitschko is big, faster, and powerful. He really impressed me with his athletic ability in this one. Chambers is very quick and Wladimir completely controlled his speed. Not only that but Wlad showed a lot of speed himself.

He's truly a special fighter who may never be appreciated in his time.

Hahaha behave, Wlad just beat up a little fella, without breaking sweat, he is so boring, he could of seriosuly knocked Chambers out in 6 rounds, he is a lazy fighter and doesn't have a lot in his locker, at the moment he is facing skillful guys who can't compete with him physically.

Eddie is a good fighter. He did try to win but he was physically outmatched and Wlad was the superior boxer.

Eddie did have a tiny bit of success with some body shots and lead right hands but he lacked the power to discourage Wlad all the while getting a jab off his gloves and face for 3 minutes of every round. Wlad's footwork made it very hard for Eddie to land clean, When Eddie did open up, Wlad would simply take a few steps back and launch more jabs.

I expected Eddie to use more movement, instead he opted to stand in front of Wlad with a high guard which was obviously a very bad idea. I doubt him moving more would of made much of a difference, when he did move Wlad cut off the ring well anyway.

It was nice to see a one punch KO, Eddie was totally out. Wlad should use his left hook more, it's a deadly punch when he uses it.

Wlad's embarrassing. If you ever get too close to him he just takes his left hand puts it on your forehead and either just blinds you with it/uses it as a measuring stick, if he doesn't do that he pushes off with it. If you get through that he just grabs and waits for the ref. Its kind of boxing. I guess.

You know it amazes me when a heavyweight is called boring when he plays safety 1st, but when a lighter fighter does the same thing he is a defensive wizard and or technician ie BHop, Floyd Mayweather and they get called atg's; Now I'm not necessarily comparing him to them but the man is cleaning out the heavyweights no matter how you look at it and if there was another division above heavyweights I'm sure Vlad would rule that too. Another heavyweight bites the dust and people still knock him. I tell you what nobody in this era is going to beat a 100% Vlad unless they put their nuts out there and go for broke like Sanders did. Lennox Lewis could be boring as hell but he is in alot of atg heavyweight list without fighting Bowe, Moorer, Byrd or a rubber match with Evander or even fighting Vlad and he had been knocked out twice himself by lesser opponents and could put people to sleep (see Mavrovic and Tua fights) with his dull style. Vlad at this point should be in the p4p top 10 and deserves all the credit he has earned. He has lost before but like a true champion he has learned from his mistakes and this has made him a complete fighter. He will be missed when he is gone and no one is there to fill the void when the time comes...Long live Vlad and his dominant reign as heavyweight king. And kudos to Manny Steward for chipping away the final pebbles to his latest masterpiece.

There is a very big difference between being a defensive master. And playing it safe when you have every physical advantage on a fighter. Wladimer jabs jabs jabs and grabs which he should be warned for.

Wladimer fights like he is scared to get knocked out again. Wladimer has size, power, speed, and accuracy on Chambers, explain to me why he has to jab for 12 rounds before finishing him.

You cannot compare him to Floyd or Whitaker or any defensive fighter.

Mayweather has speed over most anyone he faces and has the best defense in the business, yet when he has the opening he stops his opponents, and knocks them out and when he has a fighter hurt he goes for the kill when its there.

With Wladimer, it's been "there" for the last 6 rounds before he decided to do anything about it.

There's a difference between a boring fighter and a defensive artist. What Wlad does isn't being a defensive master its being scared to be knocked out again.

When you have reach, size, weight, He had a near 50 pound weight advantage. And power!!!

Tell me how someone with all these strengths waits for the 12th round to get someone out that he should get out in 4 or 5 rounds?

And don't say "its up to someone to bring it out of him and make him use it" That makes no sense, so he should wait till he gets hurt in a fight before he starts to use all the advantages he has? If anything prolonging a fight cause you're scared to go for the kill only makes another fighter braver and likens your chance to be stopped. There is no excuse to justify how Wladimer fights, so don't look for one.

Good post. In no other division can you hold such obvious advantages over your opponents and he plays it extremely safe in order to make the win. You have to respect him doing what he needs to do to win, but why on earth are 50, 000 people wanting to see it? It is bloody boring.

Jab, jab, jab then clinch if he can. I quite like how Chambers picked him up twice. I would like to see more of that. Chambers was simply too small and had the wrong style. What we need is either more big heavyweights who can deploy the same tools Wlad does or a strong smaller heavyweight who will move the head, slip and get inside and fire off punches before Wlad can. Someone like prime Tyson would have eaten Wlad Klitschko up for breakfast. Klitschko is really no defensive master, not at all. He just looks decent against fighters who give up trying to win and who turn all Clottey-esque on us.

[amat]

It's almost like fencing, I kind of like Wladimir though and can't wait for him to embarrrass Colonel Haye. David Haye, that's a guy I don't like. Big mouth, was schooled by Wlad in their head to head charity escalator showdown, British, fought a more boring fight versus Valuev, made a big deal of facing Monte Barrett, is British, it's a lot bad qualities. Not that him being British has anything to do with it.

[ninjaspy3]

I don't like the situation where Wlad and Vitali get put against people that we know from the beginning cant beat them, but then after the fight, people like to talk bad because one guy was just looking to survive, or so and so didnt have the skills. Before the fights begin, everyone knows the deal so why rag on someone who you know was going to lose anyway? Like Vitali's next challanger. Yeah, that's a lost cause too.

It's not fun watching fights in which all advantages are on the side of one fighter or another. The other guy has to at least have a chance to make it exciting.

I think Wlad is ok. Personally I look forward to the day when we see a fight which actually challenges him though, and makes him have to work.

Hopefully this happens before Wlad retires.

[Rantcatrat]

Sultan, Ruslan, and Eddie are top ten heavyweights and Wlad dominated them. He'll do the same to Povetkin when that fight happens. No one is beating him until he retires.

Hard to say that really, Wladimir Klitschko hasn't really met a dangerous fighter like Corrie Sanders for some years now. It was Corrie Sander's speed and aggression that won him the fight, he literally stormed out in the 1st round and Wladimir Klitschko never had a chance.

I honestly don't think Wladimir Klitschko, could deal with a prime/dangerous Corrie Sanders. And he certainly wouldn't be able to just cruise to victory by using his jab either, his jab wouldn't be as effective against a Southpaw, especially a fast Southpaw like Corrie Sanders.

Remember even Vitali Klitschko had to take some hard shots, from Corrie Sanders before he won. Especially in the 1st round where he was quite badly stunned, Wladimir Klitschko wouldn't of been able to survive that onslaught.

Styles make fights and just because Wladimir Klitschko has improved, mostly due to the fact he fights more cautiously. Doesn't mean he would beat Corrie Sanders, i just can't see Wladimir Klitschko being able to hide behind his jab all night.

Considering Corrie Sanders is a Southpaw, is very quick handed. Plus he has a fair dig aswell.

I dont know if anyone else notices it but from what iv see of Sanders he has a style reminicent of Joe Calzaghe, that awrkward southpaw agression.
