Just rewatched Klitschko - Barrett

[Nautilus]

"Shorter guys....they just need to CLOSE THEIR EYES & punch up."

"He's an OLD SCHOOL-type, well-trained fighter, throwing one punch at a time."

LOL LOL LOL

Have not seen this fight in four or five years.
In the fourth round Wladimir Klitschko managed to floor Monte Barrett for the second time in this fight, then - some seconds later - Barrett landed a left hook that in my honest view stunned Klitschko.
Barrett is not that big a puncher, is he??
Why do boxing fans and experts keep saying Wladimir Klitschko is one of the most talented heavyweights? I do not get it - he can punch hard, but I do not rate his footwork, general movement and chin as anything special. Shouldn't a talented fighter have those characteristics to some certain extent? Just a question, do not want to attack anyone ...

His jab switched too left hook was what first floored Barret. He is extremely fast and has the best offensive arsenal out of any heavyweight by far.

I watched that fight a couple weeks ago on video and barret landed nothing solid and wlad never as much as flinched,,so I have no idea what youre talking about. you must have watched a different fight

[Leo Pradun]

Barrett also stunned Rahman, Guinn, and Messi. He has a decent punch, and Wlad is vulnerable to left hooks.



This is in your view... In order for your opinion to weigh sufficiently, you must be an expert that is equivalent to Emanuel Stewart or George Foreman... are you one?

U people are messed up, Barret was down 6 or 7 times in the fight and he didint hurt Wlad at all.... BS all ur crap...

Whoa...settle down there pumpkin .

Wlad's a very talented offensive fighter, He's going to show all the haters just how good he is once he fights over-weight Peter. Stamina IMO he never had a problem with, just in the Brewster fight, and in the Corrie Sanders fight he fought arguable the hardest punching HW at the time.

Klitschko's just gonna pop the jab in Peter's face all day long and cruise to a TK08.

If wlad can't handle a square punch from Sanders he probably can't handle a square punch from Peter. The two of them (Sanders and Peter)are comparible when it comes to hard punches. IMO

WTF?

[tommyhearns804]

Why does Super Zab Fan has Judah on his avatar when Judah was knocked out with one punch?Why do Tyson fans keep talking about how he was the greatest when he never beat a world class fighter besides a old washed up Holmes?Why do idiots keep saying Marciano was a great heavyweight when he wasn't a heavyweight to began with?
I don't know what fight you were watching but Barrett never hurt Wlad.If you watch Wlad and can not see how skilled he is for a man his size then you are a moron.If you are think Wlad has a glass chin because he got knocked out one time and got tko'd because he was dead tired then you are a idiot.
I am not a Wlad fan.But i know the man is good.I know Wlad and Vitali make the sport of boxing looks good.2 college educated men who box.They never bash other fighters or go on rants like these other clowns.You don't have to like him but at least give the man some damn respect.

I am not a Klit fan att all. But, to answer your question ... it's about his record. It's all about who's he's beat, as compared to the other heavies today. Sure Vlad has a couple very bad losses, but lokk at his wins and then compare those to the other heavies. It's pretty simple.

But that's onlt one meauring stick. I, for one, hate to watch that man fight. I like his hads, but that's where it all ends. My hope is that Peter KO's the giant and ends the freak show.

Sanders is a southpaw, Peter isn't. I doubt if Peter will be successful in landing a big shot like Sanders did.
