Thread: Sultan ibragimov was very good...

Any fans of Sultan 'Barney Rubble' Ibragimov? Fought his way to a unification fight with wlad (The first since holy v lewis) and got out of the sport with his health & wealth in tact. Looked about as tough as cream pie....Deceptively slick!

Ibragimov is an olympic silver medallist losing the gold on points to the great felix savon (The same savon that KO David Tua, Shannon Briggs, and Lamont Brewster!)

Iggy is one of only a handful of SOUTHPAW HW champions ever!

Very good fighter! Not flashy or anything but he fought smart....He was good enough to beat everyone not named Klitschko in my view.

Iggy boxed circles around shannon briggs and an ageing holyfield ! He also destroyed big lance whitaker knocking him down three times en route to a seventh round stoppage! (Whitaker had kayoed oleg maskaev in 2 rounds and was also the first man to defeat monte barrett!) The pre fight press press conference brawl was entertainment at it's finest....

Mike Tyson loved this guy. Tyson said he had simliar hand speed to himself, Tyson wanted to be in his corner for the Wlad fight but couldn't leave the state after legal issues.

Bernard hopkins said that no other heavyweight possesses the same speed and strength that ibragimov did!
