@Amber Arc Do me a favour...enter Klitschko vs Ray Mercer and watch the full fight. There you can see his insane power. Klitschko probably had the hardest jab in history and one of the strongest left hook and right hand as well. Freddie Roach who coached Mike Tyson and Klitschko said he punched harder than Mike Tyson and Manny Steward, probably the best boxing coach in history, who trained Lennox Lewis and felt Tyson on the pads as well and witnessed Foreman's power too said Klitschko hit the hardest of them all. Klitschko could PUNCH. I personally think he's the hardest puncher in history. The only reason he might not look so impressive is because of his style. Manny taught him to be much more cautious, that's why I'd appreciate it if you'd watch the full 37 minute video of him fighting Ray Mercer. At the time Ray was never knocked down or out in his entire career. The only time he was sort of knocked down was Holyfield. But you'll see Klitschko nearly knocked him down in round 1. In the fight you'll see Wlad going all out. Some of his skills like his right hand weren't as developed yet, but he destroyed Mercer with his jab and left hook. Just watch the video and form your own opinion after it. Chris Byrd fought both Wlad and Vitali and said Vitali is tougher, but Wladimir hits 3 times harder. His power is extremely underrated. I can't remember who (it's mentioned by the commentators in the mercer fight) but he said Wlad had faster hands than Tyson and he also worked with Tyson.
I think people make the mistake of seeing Vlad fight he doesn't look that good then they get in there with him and realize he's much stronger and punched much harder than they thought
Nah you're tripping. Wlad would be a good contender, talented maybe even when a belt but the X factor of the best in the 90s would beat him more often than not, they had that mental edge. Vitali however wouldve been a beast and highly respected in any era imo
If Klitschko was boxing in the 90s Lenox Lewis would kill him. Look how many Problems he has against Thomson..and he has no Punching Power and great Boxing Skills
very interesting, Wlad did appear to struggle with Thompsons southpaw stance in this fight, it pretty much nullified klitchkos jab. Wlads next fight is with Tyson Fury who can fight southpaw or orthodox and often switches mid fight, and he has a 4inch longer reach than Thompson, so maybe Fury can actually trouble Klitschko ?.
The difference is fury isn't a natural southpaw. He might be effective fighting subpar opposition out of that stance but it will be interesting to see if he can do that against somebody as good as wladimir.
Is Merchant trying to get across the idea that Thompson was playing possum here (45:09)? one of my favorite things about Larry Merchant's HBO commentary where the times that a boxer would either prove him wrong or just put him in his place.
Thompson was too old in this fight. it would be interesting if had tony started with boxing sooner. he started to train in his 27. that's just mind blowing how far he got in that limited period of time.. so much talent!
Wtf started at 27… that’s the type of story that will give anyone hope that it’s never too late even though he obviously had a lot of natural athleticism and toughness
TT did the best he could Im sure and hes def tough but damn would he not get this chance in previous decades. Neither of these guys wouldve been able to compete in even the 90s let alone the 60s or 70s.
If there had never been a Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko would be considered one of the greatest HW fighters of all-time. Most "casual" fans didn't know the difference between the two, but Vitali was SO superior to his younger brother that it's ridiculous. I actually feel sympathy for Vitali for taking a back-seat to his younger brother, when he was WAY better then Wladimir in every facet of the game.
Очень хочется возродить злым и колючим языкам. Ну, во первых. Это боксеры, а не гладиатор. Во вторых...... Младший и старший кличко, сберегли многих слабейших... Инвалиды не нужны в боксе. Кличко думают _ это очень хорошо. Никакого хамства. Отличные бои. Соперники слишком опасны друг для друга. Они Рискуют своим здоровьем Этим все сказано
I am a dilettante at boxing, and I enjoy watching it without knowing the sport. But I noticed one thing: Klitchko fights are irritatingly boring. This was Vladimir, right? Vitali is a bit more entertaining. This bout to me seemed like a Bela Tarr movie.
Not really, Vitali against Lennox, Wladimir against Marsiusz Wach... Tony Thompson was probs one of the best heavyweights of this era, incredibly underrated.
Terrible boxer, the reason the whole fight is shit is because he's standing flat footed and Wlad is having to wrestle with a lump of a man just standing their pawing and doing very little.
fighting a 40 year old late starter for the heavyweight title? TWICE?? lol no wonder wlad couldnt break into American market, he treated world titles like euro titles.
Wlad had great power decent speed exellent ring iQ the great manny stuard thought so too and he also dominated for years held a younger fury off and dropped and nearly beat a up and coming aj topped with some of the best ring entrances in boxing history nothing boring about that.
Do you even know boxing? You do realise the biggest clincher of all time was fan favourite Muhammad Ali... and he wasn’t even a big man like Wladimir whom had every reason to tie up on the inside due to arm length.

alibabazs what’s wrong r u mad that wlad beat his black ass up.
@ clinching has always been a part of boxing, especially heavyweight boxing. If you watch Tyson vs Holyfield or Lewis vs Tyson or Ruiz vs Holyfield those matches had alot of clinching. Wlad real problem was how thin and inexperienced his era was to where fighters didnt know how to work in the clinches. Too many excuses made for professionals if you're a world class pro fighter you should know how to fight out of clinches
@@smoothcritical1 But Klitschk has a much weaker chin. And what do you mean by skills? Wlad boxed 90% of the time with straight punches from the Distnaz. Technically, Lewis is not a bit worse. Look how Wlad had problems with AJ and Lewis was on a completely different level than AJ. In my opinion, Lewis was the more complete and robust boxer than Wlad
@@discme01 Not! Nothing “lucky” about it. Lewis got KOd badly. And his rematch “TKO” against McCall was a fluke. McCall didn’t wanna fight that night. He wasn’t knocked out, he forfeited. Shoulda been ruled a NC. Not great revenge win for Lewis at all ;)
Wladimir Klitschko has great timing
Wlad had rocket power in that right

Thompson is actually a tough dude and hard to ko. He has size and fight from way outside you csnt land any clean punch on him
johannsebastienbach you’re right. Only been knocked out by Wlad and Ortiz
Hes also very awkward

Tyson or Lewis would put him down for sure. Tyson would put him asleep shortly at that time!
Kann man die Sprache in Deutsch Sprache übersetzen oder Rusise Sprache Danke Für oire Liebe und Dankeschön! ! !
Was this in Gotham City??? That sure looked like a Phantom punch.
Dude.... i watched this on live like 9 years ago as a kid... time flows..
Best part was when Vitali stood up like a meerkat when Wladimir and Tony tripped - his reactions when Wladimir fights are always hilarious.
I snorted out loud when I saw his big ass stand up the second they fell. Too funny
Straight out of whack a mole haha
Гениальный бой!,тяжёлый,буквально шахматный,Владимиру респект!
Lewis's anti-klitschko bias is always super obvious
Lennox is my favorite boxer ever but i think he was scared of the klitschko as he got older and wasn't as fast
If Thompson's trunks were 2 inches longer then he might've won.
Funny you
Why did they send this fight in slow motion. I don't understand.
Good fighter Thompson, Wlad had a lot of respect for him.
I didn't see that quick right hand from Klitschko towards the end. That was quick
very interesting, Wlad did appear to struggle with Thompsons southpaw stance in this fight, it pretty much nullified klitchkos jab.

maybe he can trouble him and who knows even take all 5 of his belts...

Please! Wlad woulda destroyed all
Why do them punches look so slow and puffy ? I guess it's because they aren't realy rocking him and the hands aren't comming back too quickly...mmmm
ko bravo

He's pathetic ! Lol
Володя на долгое время был ужасом для соперников, мало кто мог держать его удары...
Я вижу желающих комментаторов , которым нужно выйти под удар кличко.
Кличко насыпет вам за хамство
Очень хочется возродить злым и колючим языкам.
Ну, во первых.
Это боксеры, а не гладиатор.
Во вторых......
Младший и старший кличко, сберегли многих слабейших... Инвалиды не нужны в боксе.
Кличко думают _ это очень хорошо.
Никакого хамства. Отличные бои.
Соперники слишком опасны друг для друга.
Они Рискуют своим здоровьем

Safety first.
Consider that this one is not the most boring Wladimi fun. Actually I find it decent... try to watch Wlad vs Povetkin
damn. wladis. hot
I know. Still hot as an old man
Emanuel Steward is the only trainer who I've heard who actually knows what he's talking about.
Klitschko not fighter hi is dancer and hugger.
Yeah he was the boxer, his brother the fighter.
The Klitschko's fights are already boring enough, butI would rather listed to Daffy Duck announce a fight than Lennox Lewis. Completely duff.

Klitschko was always subpar against taller Heavyweights.
Not really, Vitali against Lennox, Wladimir against Marsiusz Wach... Tony Thompson was probs one of the best heavyweights of this era, incredibly underrated.
Really? Except the fights at the end of his career he ko’d all tallguys except wach who has still never been down
Klitschko is not sub par anything
Go home tony damn this fight boring
Terrible boxer, the reason the whole fight is shit is because he's standing flat footed and Wlad is having to wrestle with a lump of a man just standing their pawing and doing very little.
Lackluster Klitschko! Wasn't Into this fight?
