Single biggest difference between Wladimir in 2003-2005 to the Wladimir now is how he responds to being hit clean. This Wladimir still went backwards and invited on more pressure. Now Wladimir has perfected his jab, reach and meets his aggressive opponents in the middle of the ring to tire them out.
It is really a shame that Brewster was nowhere near his best for the rematch against Wladimir. Lamon got a nice payday for that second fight, but he was not even cleared to fight in the US. Coming off a tough loss in a competitive fight vs Liakhovich, a 17 month layoff from boxing, and nearly career ending eye surgery...the man was not fit to fight.
Wlad has vastly better boxing skills, but Brewster is the much tougher man by nature.
At tw69: I respectfully disagree with your statement. In today's boxing one loss may ruin your career if you're not crowd pleasing, no matter how good you are. Guys like Cotto and Pacquiao have supporters even when they loose, but guys like the Peterson brothers or Chad Dawson may have seen the end of their TV and fame careers because of one loss...
No it's not. Go to boxrec.com and look up the records of Archie Moore and Sugar Ray Robinson and guys from that era. They took a whole heap of losses and still fought on and became great. A couple of losses won't ruin you.
Damn! One of the best fights. Team Klitschko<3.
