That for the first time, in a very long time, we can have a Heavyweight, Wladimir Klitchsko, ranked as the #1 p4p fighter in the world.
I think he may be a little better than Floyd at this stage. He fought more guys. Took more risks. And has been undefeated in over 10 years.
Wlad 1.
Floyd 2.
Rigondeaux 3.
Manny 4.
Ward 5.
What do you feel?
Gonzalez should be #1 ;)
lolol... why?Quote:

I'll take "Bullshit Claims" for $500, Alex.
The size of the case to be made for Wladimir Klitschko to be ranked as the #1 p4p fighter in the world today.
What is a nanoparticle, Alex?
Correct! For $500.
Maybe Klitschko is Ukranian for he who clinches to a KO. Wladimir Clinchko.Quote:

At least Wlad takes legitimate risks. Floyd hasn't taken a legitimate risk IN IT'S SEASON since Corrales. A case may be made for Canelo, but we all know Canelo was slow and didn't have the punch output to keep Floyd out of the fight.

:lol:
Weird world, all the people who would never fight comp,could never fight comp are the ones to hang the most shit on those at the top.
Does that not apply to all boxing fans? :-\
:-\ Some have respect for whos there in any era,some have respect for those who try.
Tall poppy syndrome occurs a bit too ,racial predisposition etc.
I suppose minimalist anything can thought of as masterful or dull.
No, he's saying you could make a case for Canelo being a risky fight for Mayweather.Quote:

It's clear Canelo was a good fighter. An elite fighter is another story. He was two major fights too early to fight Floyd when he did.Quote:

He can still be a great fighter, but now he will forever be the great fighter than lost to Mayweather.
Wlad would get annihilated against Kovalev or Golovkin if Wlad was a 12 stone / 6 feet tall type size. P4P number 1 my arse.
Most of his game is based around using his size advantages. Take that away and plenty of guys would check his chin.
The only way I could take away Wlad's height is to put him in a different weight class like WW or SMW, so he would still be the tallest WW or SMW & have the longest reach & IQ to use it.
With that being said: there are way too many bulldogs, pitbulls and Rottweiler's in those divisions willing to go through fire to give it.
A WW Wlad would be about Paul Williams' height. Neither Pac nor PBF took him on. So would they have fought Wlad at WW? Or avoided him, waiting for a Sergio to check his chin-chinny-chin-chin?

That's my way of saying that none of us is above slinging mud at certain fighters once in awhile.
