Wladimer should be ashamed is he that scared to fight anyone
To the people saying Whlad fights anybody why didn't he fight Toney, and Holyfield, in early 2000's. And Whlad has never fought Pulev, Stiverne, Fury, Wilder, Jennings, Glazkov etc.
Leapai was a complete can. He couldn't make it 9 rounds with Kevin Johnson.
Who did Wach, and Pianeta ever beat? to earn a shot.
sad because we all know Klitschko coulda taken him out in the first second of the match.
Lepai was just horrible. Shouldn't even be in the group of top 20 heavyweights right now
He has many belts and if fighting to keep them all to become undisputed so he needs to fight all mandatory challengers.
So much bullshit biased opinions about Klit the Younger thesedays. He is a seriously dominant champion the tries to limit the amount of damage he takes in a fight, following the mantra of "hit and don't get hit". Sound familiar?.
Aside from Lempai; Wladimirs previous 4 opponents were all undefeated top contenders and some were bigger than Wlad.
I think Wlad just makes the era look weak and makes fighters look bad.
He has 3/4 major belts he fights all his mandatorys. And the heavyweight division is garbage right now so it isn't his fault. Hell knockout Wilder in time.
learn about the word mandatory if he didn't fight leapai he would of been stripped of the title leapai earned the fight because he beat the original mandatory
totally boring match. i expected this to last at least 5 rounds, even worse as i warched it outside with friends...
Anyway, let's hope he will fight Pulev within the next 10 years, otherwise stick to Welter/Lightweight and enjoy FMJ, canelo fights etc.
I dont' like Wlad very much, as a fighter that isl. He fights in a sh*t division and is ridiculously boring.
BUT, he can't help the former part of that.
The competition sucks, it is what it is. Wlad doesn't shy away from a challenge, he's a very competitive guy.
David Haye is by far the best HW outside of the Klistchko's, and Wlad fought him.
Like I said, I hate Wlad's style and the fact that he could wipe people out, but instead decides to paw at them and wait nine boring rounds to do it.
Leapai is a bum, that oges without. But Wlad isn't a ducker at all, so you're completely wrong when you say that.
Lepai got the shot because he beat Boystsov who was overrated by many so-called boxing scribes and experts.
Leapai landed 10 shots in 5 rounds.....only 2 landed on Klitschkos face the rest where nothing shots to the body
Wladimer should be ashamed is he that scared to fight anyone
