Is the general opinion of wlad deserved?

[El Kabong]

OK well let's leave the Chagaev fight alone then...I mean Wlad COULD have waited for the WBA title holder's injury to heal and wait for him to come back around and fight, but Wlad (as his 55-3 record suggests) likes to stay active and he risked his titles to fight a guy he hadn't trained to fight....but I digress.

I don't care about the WBA title holder's cruiserweight triumphs...its not like he beat Dwight Qawi or Bert Cooper or Eddie Mustafa Muhamad....he beat Mormeck and some Italian dude that cut him up. His assertion that beating Alexander Gurov (who's 6'5) is akin to beating Wladimir Klitschko is like me saying that I can beat Kobe Bryant in 1 on 1 because this one time I beat another black guy in 1 on 1.

so you admit you was wrong and i was wright then

thats good man, we are getting somewhere with you finally

o and p.s. risked his titles my big hairy bum

No I didn't admit you were anywhere close to being right. I said let's put that fight aside and look at any other fights of his as you're so willing to just chalk up Chagaev as some sort of bum.....too bad Chagaev beat Valuev better than the WBA title holder did, that's a shame it makes that title "win" seem hollow especially since Chagaev never LOST the title, he got stripped of it.

As for risking the titles, they were up for grabs...all Chagaev had to do was win. At least Ruslan was man enough to take the fight. The titles will be "up for grabs" on July 2nd....I don't see it as much of a gamble this time either...well not for Wlad.

I'm thinking the WBA title holder will need to bring some suspenders with him, because he's not leaving with a belt.
