Both klitchko brothers were legends true champions and so respectful before and after fights, unlike some modern fighters.🥊🥊
in front of the camera yes ...not so behind it..its a carefully managed image
@@silverkitty2503their real personality, their life behind the camera does not interest me, he shows respect in front of the camera without disrespect, today this shitty trash talk becomes nonsense
They were like fucking robots! Not exciting fights.
Hmhm.. and in politics bullshittin
@@collingafar1638 exciting or not, they still held the entire weight class in fear for years and had all the belts on ‘em. “Not exciting” is cope if anything.
Imagine if Wlad had Vitali's chin. Jesus.
They both suck
and the muscle stamina
@@Sara_Sky_Suttonthank you for this elaboration. Really enjoyed reading your comment 🙏🏽
@@Sara_Sky_Sutton I knew something weird happened after rd. 4 he looked exhausted.
Give Wlad vitalis chin stamina and slick intelligent skills with his explosive speed and power and you would have the most dominant heavyweight in history
Klitschko 10 years at the top, a true monster, a legend.
Bruh who'd he fight in there prime foh.
He fought nothing but bums for 10 yrs
@@FknClownShoeshe fought everyone literally and all the best mercer was just the tune up fight
@@omega-manthe8346 Mercer was washed up dude relax.
No he didn't fight everybody foh.
@@FknClownShoes Tyson excuses coming lol
Klitschko quietly was champion for ten years
Por quase 11 anos.
His Brother, Vitali was the two time heavyweight champion.
In a easy era foh
The Brothers Klitschko were tremendous Boxers and awesome Athletes. Respect to them always !👍
I hope they are safe in Ukraine. The Butcher Putin will eventually pay for his horrible deeds against the humble but proud Ukraine!! 💪
@@joegoodman9232😂
mercer was an absolute beast ,strong as an ox but past his prime for this fight.
The only good guys clinchko beat were already past their primes
Yea but He was Floored By a great punch , and Stopped by a Great Younger Champion
@@kevinmunday6263 agree
Il aurait eu sont age ça aurait été une autre histoire trop d'années d'écart ça y fait beaucoup s'est plus la même vue et rapidité respect à Mercers
doesnt matter, mercer was a dirty fighter. look what he did to morrison; he deserved to have his license revoked.
I was desperate for ref to step in, 41 year old Mercer was getting crucified by a 26 year young Klitchko. Sad to see a legendary boxer of Mercer’s class needlessly soaking up brain damaging punishment at that age. Man must’ve desperately needed that pay check. Uncomfortable viewing.
He was send back to the ghetto.
If he dies…..he dies
@@Chorbus yeah I get the Rocky joke, but it’s true his corner left him to die. Mercer took a left hook that momentarily paralysed him flat out on the floor early on. He clearly lost his punch resistance, then still continued as a punch bag till the 6th, disgraceful.
Same with Mercer vs. Morrison. As Mercer said, put him to sleep, woke him up. The punches kept him standing.
He showed no mercy or concern for Morrisons health. Karma.
Mercer was great, not just as a fighter but also his statements after the fight. True sportsmanship
Being 20 in 1990 watching boxing I always enjoyed his fights, personally I thought he beat Lewis.
@@jasonkessler6841He was robbed in that fight.
@@jasonkessler6841 hey you re just like a year older than my dad then, he wasn t into boxing though (much less of an important sport here in romania)
Klitchko was so sharp.. damn. So much pop in his punches
Ray was past his prime relax

@@FknClownShoes he beat more than just Ray lol
@@stylicho WHO?
Botha,Chambers,Rahman,and briggs..Oh wow watch out.
Fast hands
I'm a simple man, I see a klitschko video I click.
Liar liar pants on fire. Come on bro you know you watched. 😂😂
You like boring, to each his own.
@@tbauer2521good point, klitschko was a great boxer, not a circus clown showman. You may want to check out pro wrestling.
@@furthereast6775 wlad was a pro wrestler 😂. Just watch him against povetkin.
Except that aj beating huh lol
I miss HBO boxing, and hearing Jim Lampley call fights 😢
Yep! I grew up on HBO boxing in the 90’s and 00’s. All them guys were great. Harold Letterman, and the old guy who would interview the fighter after the fights. Good times for boxing.
@@_KaiRos-11larry merchant
@@_KaiRos-11 Yeah, I loved also Manu Steward comments, I miss them....
Wladimir Klitschko was always a class act. If you faced "Merciless" Ray Mercer and not taking him seriously, that could end badly and Wlad remembered his great misstake in similar tough Ross "The Boss" Puritty so with a seasoned Ray Mercer, Wladimir would be sharp and not careless. Mercer was since Dec. 1996 undefeated in the ring (7-0-0, KO's 6) and had his last fight just 4 months prior this WBO world title fight so Mercer had no ring rust to talk about. Sure past his prime but still one last "hurra".
"I got beat fair and square. You can't win them all. I beat the (hell) out of many people myself" - Ray Mercer post fight.
Mercer ko tomotoe cans on his comeback and was 39 years old when he fought Wlad come on now
@@JayYo21 Yes it was not elite opponents but Mercer still showed he had one good fight in him left despite his advanced age.
He looks really old and out of shape here, even older than 39
@@starwarsroo2448 Actually for being Mercer, he was in decent condition considering he often came in much heavier. Here he was at the "limit" of acceptble for a world title fight.
@@WarioSaysSo he was still old as f fighting someone 15 years younger than him
how many people can say they have a phd and had the longest heavyweight reign of all time. the klitschkos made everyone look mediocre
That’s because their competition was mostly mediocre 😂
@@BooBooDaFoo330 They made them look Mediocre. Only Lennox and Vitali would stand a chance against prime Wlad. And the Lennox fight wouldn't make sense because both were trained by Steward in their prime. Klitschko had the best jab in history, the best footwork in heavyweight history, the best lead left hook in history , the most athleticism and the most power in heavyweight history - the words of Emanuel Steward. Steward said his biggest flaw was not letting his hands go. He supposedly only fought at 60% power when Steward was training him. You can see Steward screaming at Klitschko to let his hands go in the Chambers fight. His chin was fine. He ate an uppercut from AJ that would flatline most. His biggest flaw was mentality, and Steward took that flaw away when he was with him. If Steward hadn't died he'd probably still be champion.
@@Anonymous-xl9pq it’s a shame Wlad didn’t go undisputed. Wilder ducked him hard 😂
Best heavyweights in history.
The Klitchko brothers were.
Never stop these videos
he’s gonna stop and then create a new channel in a couple months 😢
Agreed!!!!❤❤❤❤
Mercer is historically underrated, one of the best chins in boxing history and had excellent skills. AND he said Tommy Morrison hit harder than anyone he ever fought.
Steroids
Mercer had a great chin. A good judge.
Morrison never hit him.
tommy was the man he mske mfd quit in the first round .that went 10 roinds with tyson
@@blessmypeople2155 😂 rewatch that fight
Dropping bombs and the dude was still standing!! BEAST!!!
And this was the soft Klitshko , Vitaly was the real deal
Absolute bullshit
Wlad was good but VITALI WAS BETTER
In what way? Vitali had a better chin. That’s about it. Wlad hit harder, and was far more skilled overall. Vitali was a brawler with a decent engine (for his size) and a granite chin. Look what Chris Byrd did to Vitali.
@@LobotomyMeatyou're absolutely 100% wrong. Yes Vitali had a better chin, but he was anything but a brawler. He was much more of a skilled and well rounded fighter compared to Wlad. Wlad was just more athletic and less robotic. He could only fight one way, moving straight forward and walking down his opponent. When that didn't work, he would lose. Vitali could lead, box and counter with the best of him. Just watch the Lewis fight and how he constantly made Lewis miss and immediately counter. No one had ever done that to Lewis. Look how badly Wlad struggled with the brawler Peter, so much so he never rematched him even when Peter was the heavyweight champ. Vitali fought him after a 4.5 year layoff and absolutely pummeled Peter. Something Wlad couldn't do until several years later after Peter was completely shot.
Vitali was never behind on points after the 2nd round. He retired due to injury against Byrd and Lewis. Vitali was only beaten by injuries. He was never on the canvas during His whole career either. He was leading Byrd and Lewis before the injuries.@@LobotomyMeat
Vitali's potential was better. But Wlad's record (actual) was better. Although it was ultimately injuries, I wonder if Vitali temporarily stepping away was to open the door for a possible undisputed path for his little bro, Wlad. I think Vitali's ambition might have been a little compromised knowing the ultimate goal could never be a possibility if they were both active at the same time.
@@calvinmay35 obviously Wlad had the longer reign, but Vitali definitely faced the better opposition. Wlad would tend to go after the weaker parts of the division. Lewis tops anyone Wlad ever faced, but remember he didn't want to rematch Sanders, Vitali did and destroyed him. He also had the chance to rematch Peter but didn't, even when Peter had the other title Wlad was missing, the WBC. Vitali after a 4.5 year layoff ended up facing him without a tuneup and still destroyed him. Wlad had the opportunity to face Chisora and pulled out. Vitali ended up facing and dominating him. Then dont forget Wlad wanted nothing to do with the undefeated challenger Arreola. Vitali never screwed around with facing bums and no hopers
Thanks for these digestible videos. Really enjoy them
BLTV picks up the action.... in round one
DING!!
LOVE IT
My God !! i never got into Klitscko but he is fast ,powerful and very active with great cardio. ll have to go check him out
Pre steward wladimir was ruthless
That was brutal. All I kept thinking about was CTE
-Mercer NEVER had a “granite chin”, to take a good punch one needs good strong legs and neck muscles.
-Mercer beat a green inexperienced Tommy Morrison. His highlights were a very game effort against Lennox Lewis and Holyfield.
-He literally threw a fit, a temper tantrum when he lost to Holyfield. Go back and watch the decision. Mercer ran across the ring like a child who didn’t get his way.
-He received Karma for what he did to Morrison (by continuously hitting a knocked out man EVEN after the ref put his hands on Mercer to stop the fight), when Shannon Briggs beat him almost exactly the way Mercer did Morrison. Caught him on the ropes and pummeled him until Mercer collapsed. Lol, that’s what you call Karma, Ray.
-Lastly, he made the mistake of calling Klitchsco the “European Tommy Morrison” and well… let’s just say, Mercer are those words by getting literally rag dolled in there against Klitchsco.
Did Ray Mercer take your mum out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again? My mans under your thin skin lmao
@@Tron_Funkin_Blow Nah, I Think he is just a Douchbag for what he did to Morrinson, What Goes Around Comes Around.......
Ross Purrity wasn't a golfer that was Corrie Sanders
Early Wlad was an exciting glass cannon who threw heaps of varied punches. Late Wlad was jab, jab right cross, clinch.
That Mercer KO of Morrison was possibly nastier than Cooneys KO of Norton.
I think that's the most sickening KO I've ever seen.
@@beefcake1973aus
My vote goes to Mike Tyson vs. Marvis Frazier.
Foreman’s KO of Cooney ?
Somebody should have ko'd that ref,that was complete negligence of that "ref",the fighter is supposed to b protected in a fight,morrison took way to many needless punches,and mercer should have known better,that was infuriating to watch somebody being beaten when putting up no defense at all,and mercer loved it
@@youdontsay2181 Karma can be a bitch.
Best videos on youtube. You the man BLTV!
I don't think Klitschko gets enough credit for his change of style. He identified his weaknesses and worked hard to correct them while becoming more successful. It's no different to an F1 team having a super fast car that is unreliable and tweaking it to take a tiny bit of top speed off to improve reliability in the engine. It still wins the races.
Wlad's left hook is so weird and underrated, never seen anyone else throw it like that
It works like a jab, but hits much harder.
Brilliant seeing Mercer take that punishment. He tried to kill Morrison and is still proud of it. What goes around...
The Brothers made us feel seen and having worth when everything and everyone were just struggling to build ourself up and come to our senses after being enslaved for so long and not knowing how to live and how to properly build a just and functioning state (that was ridden with russia's agents from up to bottom). Vitaly is a mayor of our capitol of Kyiv for at least around 5 years now. They were our heroes and will forever be, but now in boxing Usyk plays that dear role for us, not to mention all other great athletes, but never did majority of us imagine there will be a time when our greatest heroes would be soldiers defending our existence. Thank you for making this video, friend 🤝
Ukrainian boxing is crazy good for unknown reason. I wish we also had good mma fighters.
@@fungunsun1 Indeed. In MMA we have Ice Cold, but that's history =) The man has one of the all time greatest highlight reels in MMA. Wish him long life
Duke of the boxing match. It is the performance for both parties. Not the defeat.
This was my payback fight for him ko ing Morrison.If yhe ref wouldnt have stopped it,Klitchko would hsve seriously hurt Mercer.
Wow klitchco was a monster love to the klitchco bros
To do this against a prime Ray Mercer shows how special and brilliant Wladimir had become before his prime years even came.
Prime? He was nearly 40.
He was 41, and he had alot of wars, which ages you in boxing.
young wlad was such a beast to watch, he slowed down in his older years but still had a sharp boxers mind that carried him to defend his title more times than anyone.
He was 41 and hadn't fought for 6 years.
He was 39 and had fought four journeymen before VK. He had also fought in 1998 before getting hepatitis b.. so def not six years. Agree he was well past his prime but dates and facts are important. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mercer
Born on my birthday 1961. Fought Klitschko 2002 . Do the math as they say and subtract 1961 from 2002 and you will find 41. Don'tknow where I got the 6 years bit from, sorry.
It was the commentators of the video that said he had not fought for 6 years. Can be verified by looking at his record in Wikipedia.
@@illusiontango Thanks. I thought I imagined it.
Very sad that Ray Mercer was very past his prime in that fight
He wouldve still lost
Very True..way past his prime. If Mercer was in his prime, WK would have many problems...
@alkispanou3781 it always seems to be the answer for everyone, apparently every older boxer is better, people never appreciate what it is in a moment until it's gone and every new generational fighter they say the old one is better because of the dislike that's why we have to be content and be appreciative of the moment because when that moment passes you'll look back and keep saying the same s*** over and over again
@@yessirrr5182 very true. Which is exactly what they say about Wlad after kó to joshua. He was already past his prime otherwise héd have demolish joshua 😂😂😂
@@yessirrr5182 Do you think Wladimir would have beaten Joshua in his prime. or did he lose because he was 41,
klichko fought more more like his brother in this fight. A lot more aggressive
His chin was his downfall, ironically.
Another Jewel from the past
Hilarious thumbnail, great video. As usual.
Loving this content.
I didn't know Klitschko was this fast and strong with his punches. Not a wimpy jabber like Lennox Lewis.
Mercer was Old already
This was a old Mercer here. He wasn't the machine he was earlier in his career. Good win though but not the same fighter.
Two class individuals and great fighters.
True both Klithchko brothers brothers vey skilled fighters. Best thing I like about them was they had a lot of class. Humble and well mannered.
Like it or not, Wlad is the most powerful puncher in heavyweight history. No one has ever come close to his athleticism.
is that lotr music I can hear lol
Minas Morgul theme. I chuckled not gonna lie
Last time it was crysis 3 music lol
I heard some ride of the Rohirrim in there amongst others lol
Y’all must be new to bltv lol
I thought it sounded like the main menu music of the N64 lotr game at one point. 😂
BLTV always with the best boxing content!
Vlad was so much bigger and was delivering those jack hammer Punches. Had Mercer lookin like Beetlejuice
Mercer is amazing, but this was not the Mercer who fought Morrison. His body is clearly aged beyond his prime in this fight.
Wlad got more media attention than his older brother Vitali, but the latter was the better fighter of the two. Mercer, well to be honest, I always thought he was overrated. He got outboxed by a 42 year old Larry Holmes and had other losses to veteran fighters and even journeymen.. His best performances was against Lennox Lewis and Tommy Morrison. I actually thought he deserved a draw against Lewis but that's how boxing goes. Regarding his fight against Wlad, well it was more of an execution than a fight. Mercer clearly had nothing left but a jab and a good chin. However, in his defence, he was 42 years old when he fought Wlad, which was about six years past his prime. At 42, Mercer was a sitting duck for a sharp- shooter like Wlad. Had Wlad fought Mercer anywhere before 1999 instead of 2002, Mercer might have had a better chance. Forty two is old for a boxer!
In no way is Mercer overrated. Had he been born a decade+ later, he'd be called champ right now.
@@calvinmay35 Maybe, maybe not!
Great video.
Young Mercer beats him.
No chance. Too slow even at His peak.
Naaahhh!!
How do you tell after an ass whuppin like that?
@@jimbyrne2328yes chance, 💯 stops him.
Don't be silly.. Mercer is average.
It’s easy to show zero respect against a 41-year old boxer, far from his prime
he was 39 but yes.. point taken..
@@Crz3552 Mercer was 41 here, very old, in very bad physical shape
Wlad's straight right is bloody crazy! He doesn't swing it at all, but it's just a straight-up battering-ram!
"Klitschkos fighting a very good fight... and Mercer too!" . Mercer was a punching bag the whole fight.
Mercer was really old and past his best here. The night he fought Lewis was his peak.
He was 40
He was also at his peak when he got outclassed by an old Larry Holmes.
Klitschko is my boy, fellow Ukrainian but Mercer was a shell of himself. If you want to watch a fight - watch him beat up Lennox Lewis
BLTV is the undisputed goat of boxing analysis videos
Mercer has one of the best chins in history.
This could have been different if Mercer was younger but it just wasn’t fair
Did you say that when a 41 year old Klitschko lost to a 29 year old Joshua?
Klischo way better boxer than Mercer
Young Mercer puts up a way better fight then he did here
just look at those one two combinations their like freak trains, golly
Wladimir fought completely differently before the knockout losses, he was great to watch, but he had to adapt to his deficiencies, play it safe and lower his output by a lot
from dr. steelhammer to captain clinch
Thank you for paying true homage and respect to the fighters. I never got to see a prime Klitschko fight and I couldn't even tell you who Mercer was.
You do a great justice to the sport of boxing. Thank you BLTV never quit being the 🐐
Are you new to boxing?
Dr. Steelhammer's lead left hook: wow.
Ray Mercer was Always a Humble Champion With a Great Chin and Heart of a Lion. Love you Ray. God Bless You.
The Morrison fight was awful, where was ref ??
Worst job of not jumping in and stopping it that I have seen since jerry Cooney knocked out Ken Norton
@holidayeveryday550 100% agree, and the fact both Mercer and Cooney Carried on laying Heavy Head punches to opponents totally out of it, is Disgraceful
@@kevinmunday6263 cooney got his karma when foreman destroyed him
Ref had the best seat in the house and was enjoying the beating of a lifetime.
Though luck for Tommy.
A prime wlad would have destroyed AJ.
They were both 41, when losing.
darn. when wlad balls out and let his hands go boy are they snappy and powerful. insane how mercer stood up after all those pinches.
Both Klitchko brothers are seriously intellectual guys- certainly more than many fighters, and their academic achievements as well as others are well documented. My theory with Wlad is that once he got hurt for real in the ring, (ie) hurt in the head, he really began to contemplate the possible brain damage which could occur in the ring, and made the conscious decision to completely change his style (something most boxers simply can not accomplish for whatever reason), and developed his highly cautious, ultra defensive, sometimes unwatchable, yet extremely effective style which involved excessive holding with very limited punching- most likely via hundreds, if not thousands of rounds of sparring. Many of his title defences were like watching CSPAN, including his loss to Fury, but his final fight against AJ where he let his nuts hang regained my respect 100%.
Hey man glad to see you again. Thought you were long gone
Loved it ❤
Wladimir was the king of the 1-2 combo
LotR music?
One thing I will admire about Klitschko is that he wasn't arrogant or trash-talking. I honestly enjoy those kinds of fighters more.
Classic Boxing Legends TV video. What an absolute masterpiece, good to have the best fighting channel uploading regularly.
The ending was just funny as hell 😂😂🤣🤣
Love how you snuck in LotRs music at the end 😂
Young Wlad had a bit of that Ivan Drago aura
Referee Randy Newman was like "Mercer, you got a friend in me" and called the fight.
He wasn't going to get tired because he trained correctly being smart and all. I never understood why people didn't love this guy and his brother.
Klitschko certainly moved and popped alot better in his early years
I miss HBO Boxing. Boxing has never been the same without them.
"I knocked him out, woke him up and knocked him out a few times"!! 😂😂
Beautiful!
Two true warriors respect 👊🏻🥊👊🏿
Ray a tough man. Tough as they come. Fair play
He never "stunk out the joint, time after time."
From 2004 on he had 16 fights end by knockout and eight went to a decision. That's 66% of his fights after the early 2000s that ended in a knockout.
Love to see him to this to a prime Mercer. No way pal.
Dream on
We need a mercy life,and career story he's underrated
Mercer looked like he trained on his couch drinking beers and watching TV.
Jeeze that ref sure did Tommy Morrison wrong. Seeing him caught in the ropes getting lit up like that is just sad.
Lets go champ haaahaaa, can't you swim champ haahaa. The most ruthless words ever spoken in boxing
Lord of The Rings music at the end of the video is absolutely *chef’s kiss*
what is the name of this ?
Mercer took so many powerful punches and didn’t fall amazing.
How the hell could Mercer stand all those massive strikes for so long? Unbelievable.
1:33 bro got the shades on 😂
