Both klitchko brothers were legends true champions and so respectful before and after fights, unlike some modern fighters.🥊🥊

Mercer was great, not just as a fighter but also his statements after the fight. True sportsmanship

mercer was an absolute beast ,strong as an ox but past his prime for this fight.

Klitchko was so sharp.. damn. So much pop in his punches

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.

Klitschko 10 years at the top, a true monster, a legend.

Imagine if Wlad had Vitali's chin. Jesus.

I'm a simple man, I see a klitschko video I click.

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.

Never stop these videos

Klitschko quietly was champion for ten years

I miss HBO boxing, and hearing Jim Lampley call fights 😢

Dropping bombs and the dude was still standing!! BEAST!!!

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.

how many people can say they have a phd and had the longest heavyweight reign of all time. the klitschkos made everyone look mediocre

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

BLTV picks up the action.... in round one DING!! LOVE IT

Thanks for these digestible videos. Really enjoy them

That Mercer KO of Morrison was possibly nastier than Cooneys KO of Norton.

-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.

Wlad's left hook is so weird and underrated, never seen anyone else throw it like that

Best videos on youtube. You the man BLTV!

He was 41 and hadn't fought for 6 years.

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 🤝

Ross Purrity wasn't a golfer that was Corrie Sanders

is that lotr music I can hear lol

That was brutal. All I kept thinking about was CTE

It’s easy to show zero respect against a 41-year old boxer, far from his prime

Ray Mercer was the most underrated boxer of the golden age of ‘90s heavyweight boxing. Ray was a special fighter ❤

Early Wlad was an exciting glass cannon who threw heaps of varied punches. Late Wlad was jab, jab right cross, clinch.

Wlad was good but VITALI WAS BETTER

Mercer is amazing, but this was not the Mercer who fought Morrison. His body is clearly aged beyond his prime in this fight.

Very sad that Ray Mercer was very past his prime in that fight

Hilarious thumbnail, great video. As usual.

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.

Loving this content.

Another Jewel from the past

Brilliant seeing Mercer take that punishment. He tried to kill Morrison and is still proud of it. What goes around...

This could have been different if Mercer was younger but it just wasn’t fair

Two class individuals and great fighters.

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!

Ray Mercer was Always a Humble Champion With a Great Chin and Heart of a Lion. Love you Ray. God Bless You.

The ending was just funny as hell 😂😂🤣🤣

Referee Randy Newman was like "Mercer, you got a friend in me" and called the fight.

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

Hey man glad to see you again. Thought you were long gone

just look at those one two combinations their like freak trains, golly

To do this against a prime Ray Mercer shows how special and brilliant Wladimir had become before his prime years even came.

Great video.

Classic Boxing Legends TV video. What an absolute masterpiece, good to have the best fighting channel uploading regularly.

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.

Loved it ❤

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.

Young Mercer puts up a way better fight then he did here

Love how you snuck in LotRs music at the end 😂

BLTV is the undisputed goat of boxing analysis videos

1:33 bro got the shades on 😂

Two true warriors respect 👊🏻🥊👊🏿

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.

Lets go champ haaahaaa, can't you swim champ haahaa. The most ruthless words ever spoken in boxing

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.

Never forget the beating mercer gave to Tommy morrison

Dr. Steelhammer's lead left hook: wow.

Young Mercer beats him.

Beautiful!

Love to see him to this to a prime Mercer. No way pal.

Wow klitchco was a monster love to the klitchco bros

Mercer was really old and past his best here. The night he fought Lewis was his peak.

Jeeze that ref sure did Tommy Morrison wrong. Seeing him caught in the ropes getting lit up like that is just sad.

Mercer was Old already

We need a mercy life,and career story he's underrated

Lord of The Rings music at the end of the video is absolutely *chef’s kiss*

Mercer was tough as nails

I knew did guy..was stationed with him...talked with the sarge...rooted for the fighter...WOW how the years go by....!!!

Like it or not, Wlad is the most powerful puncher in heavyweight history. No one has ever come close to his athleticism.

Ray Mercer was one tough son of a gun.

My god they were vicious shots from Wlad I rarely seen him fight like that.

I do not understand why people thought Mercer was just a guy with a punch. He was a highly skilled pugilist. He had an excellent jab and cut off the ring with excellent footwork. His chin was made of titanium his heart was made of gold and his right hand was made of stone.

His chin was his downfall, ironically.

"Klitschkos fighting a very good fight... and Mercer too!" . Mercer was a punching bag the whole fight.

I was stationed at Ft Carson with Ray Mercer. Great guy. I'll never forget when he destroyed Tommy Morrison.

Good ol' "dont stop the fight until they're ded" boxing. That Morrison fight was outrageous. Absolutely no one was looking out for him

from dr. steelhammer to captain clinch

Mercer was a beast, he was past his prime here. Hell of a fighter.

One of the most vicious fights I ever saw was Ray mercer and Tim witherspoon on the bow -golota 2 under card .

Lmao the lord of the rings music

"Borat voice" wawa weee waaaa... i like...very nice...

You can say what you want but the man can take a beating

I know zero about boxing, but when Mercer was fighting others, he was a beast. The fight with Klitchko? NOT the same fighter.

Klitschko left hook is bomb

Vlad was so much bigger and was delivering those jack hammer Punches. Had Mercer lookin like Beetlejuice

Mercer was the definition of a tank. The punishment he took from Morrison is insane and he just ate it up like it was an appetizer. Best chin together with Foreman IMO.

Klitchko a legend

I didn't know Klitschko was this fast and strong with his punches. Not a wimpy jabber like Lennox Lewis.

I dunno, it sounded like respect from both guys at the end. Wish we could see more of that these days.

MERCILESS!!!

He didn’t win against Lewis, what an opening statement, I bet as many thought Evander Holyfield won the Holyfield vs Lewis the first time round. 🤡😂😂😂😂

No one ever made Lennox Lewis' face look so bad after a fight throughout his pro boxing career. Mercer also had a granite chin. He took all of Lewis' bombs in that fight & never once looked rocked. Wow! What a chin. Arguably one of the toughest chins ever in the heavyweight division. 😲

There is a German boxer, Axel Schulz who fought Wladimir Klitschko as well as George Foreman. He recently stated that when he got into the ring and got punched by Wladimir, that it felt more powerful than anything he has ever felt before. A lose translation would be "Getting a left from Wladimir was like being punched by Foreman's right". Yes, he fought an old George Foreman, but nevertheless that just shows how much power Wladimir had in his punches.

That thumbnail pic of Klitschko looks fixed? Don’t recall him being that muscular?
