This is basically why I stopped arguing with you about Klitschko as it isn't the first time I've seen you admit it. This and the fact you were right about the Haye fight.
he was right when he said wlad would win? so did the vast majority of boxing fans, there was probably a higher percentage than normal saying haye would win (or at least had a good chance) but in general the vast majotity said wlad
i am a haye fan, I was in benidorm on a stag do and I put 1 bet on the fight, wlad on points
which got me a free night
if i could have put wlad on points with excessive holding and leaning i would have and then i would have won a bit more :)
On here opinion seemed to be split about 50-50 as to who would win.
I didn't think Wlad's chin would stand up to Haye's overhand right for 12. Regardless, Wlad nulified Haye and he couldn't do shit. No point arguing it anymore. He is the best.

I've yet to see many Haye fans admit it was HAYE that night who didn't want to fight. Wlad does what he does everyone knows what you get with him, but Haye with the constant trash talk and bullshitting and he fought like THAT....come on man that was a pathetic showing by Haye who honestly with his athleticism and skill could have provided Wlad a challenge but Haye brought nothing to the table and then blamed a pinky toe injury....Bush League my friend, Bush League
I can admit when Wlad fights well and when he doesn't, but the important thing is all he does is WIN.

No it wasn't. Wlad was a massive favourite.

I think when wlad fights the majority of people want the other guy to win
I think more people believed haye had a chance
I think smaller fighters than wlad fighting under wlads rules have only one chance of winning and that's staying on the outside, avoiding the clinches and landing pot shots
its no surprise that the two best fighters he has fought who were smaller than him fought that way
Re: List your top 5 boring ass fighters currently
Can't believe we got this far and nobody mentioned Miguel Vazquez. Or Abril.

this with the exception of sturm don't really recall him being in a shit fight. Wlad positioned himself firmly in the number two spot with his last performance and I'm a fan of the guy, also extremely crude brawlers who just look for the one big punch like abraham...
He's the German Winky Wright, jab, spoil, clam up, clam up for 2 minutes, jab and scene.
Sturm has been in some decent fights but his style is pretty boring. He's too basic..
Thank you he is boring, and I am not picking on Germain fighters.
Re: List your top 5 boring ass fighters currently
Seth Mitchell is boring for the forty five seconds he boxes prior to be on the canvas.

Povetkin actually ATTEMPTED to win, Haye just fought like a little bitch. And don't give me this "Wlad and Vitali have their own rules" bullshit, if the ref doesn't call it then it's fair play. Eddie Chambers tried to bodyslam Wlad, it's not like other fighters haven't attempted to retaliate. In the end the opponents simply aren't good enough to beat either brother. It's just that simple, but feel free to keep complaining I mean it's SOOOO interesting the points you make and all :vd:

and then he drives home in his roller and puts it in his garage next to his selection of other very expensive cars
theres room for one more tho, a space he'll fill after wlads next fight
until then, he'll do the same grand world tour holiday that he always does between wlad fights

To the ref's credit he didn't warn Povetkin for holding when Wlad was attempting to knock him out he warned Wlad for PUSHING and for throwing Povetkin down but those were due to Wlad hurting Povetkin, Povetkin not tying up Wlad's arms and Wlad trying to get Povetkin out of there....but hey you think how you want to doesn't bother me.
Re: List your top 5 boring ass fighters currently
I'll say this first before I get ostracized. Wlad's last fight was quite a poor performance. However I did enjoy his beatdown of Wach. It had sustained action and tons of combinations thrown in the mix.
As for boring fighters, honestly I always fought ricky hatton fights boring because they were way too sloppy. B-hop had some really sloppy ones and some really beautiful ones e.g. (Hopkins vs Winky vs Hopkins vs Pavlick)

And Wach #1 Tried to use a glove without the proper amount of padding AND #2 Was juiced up and Wladimir STILL shut him out. Also @erics44 Wach was taller and heavier than Wlad....and Wladimir STILL won....how is that possible? How? ;D
Re: List your top 5 boring ass fighters currently
You can really tell the difference between people who are fans of boxing and people who are just fans of fighting here.
Some of the guys listed are boring, most aren't.
