Sultan ibragimov was very good...

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

I don't think size had much to do with the outcome! Skill did! Whitaker was 6'7 and briggs 6'4! He boxed ring's around those two! Plus he's a southpaw (but then again wlad is a master at countering the southpaw style, see byrd and thompson!)

It was a case of Styles....that's all that fight was! Both fighters are know to be intelligent, cautious fighters! It was never gunna be a classic....

Klitschko's performance was reminscent of some of the performances of Ezzard Charles and Larry Holmes; dominant but unsatisfying in an aesthetic sense. The lack of aesthetic appeal should not convince the discerning boxing fan or student that the fight was anything other than a dominant performance in difficult, even ugly, circumstances by an exceptional fighter.

I thought Klitschko's jab and wait strategy was very smart and IMO he got two legitimate knockdowns too... .

David haye who is polar oposite to ibragimov put on a stinker too but was utterly dominated, wlads style just shuts down most others! We should not judge these men on there performances with wlad but judge them on there performances that got them there! See Iggy v briggs/holy, haye v ruiz/valuev, chambers v dimitrenko/peter etc...
