    Master how long you reckon it would have taken Tyson to stop Tony Thompson ?

    Or Sultan Ibragimov ?

    Yes but Master they were all shit. Obliterate bums all you want Lamar Clark did that, what happened when he fought anyone half decent? He got schooled too!

    Exactly these people are criticising Tyson’s opposition yet Wlad’s are embarrassingly lame. Even then Wlad is so cautious that he bores them to death before he goes in for the kill. Wlad is a good champion and can only beat what is put in front of him but keep it real. Tyson would flatten Wlad pre clinch or post clinch version.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Wlad's opposition is bigger but definitely not better than that of Mike Tyson.

    And Tony Thompson wouldn't last 6 rounds with Tyson, he's big and he's got guts, but he's slowwwwwwwwwww as a glacier.

    You underrate sultan.

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



    Ibragimov aka Barney Rubble an olympic silver medallist (more than tyson ever got) who looked about as tough as cream pie.

    Very good fighter! not flashy or anything but he fought smart...an intelligent fighter indeed and actually quite slick! Byrd v ibragimov would have been a chess match..

    He was good enough to beat everyone not named Klitschko in my view. Always said he is the one heavy who should come back. He had fast hands, power, and could punch or box from his southpaw stance. His performances against briggs and an ageing holyfield were pretty much boxing clinics...and let's not forget he fought his way to a heavyweight unification fight! Wlad gave him massive respect in that fight (boring style clash) but klitschko was aware of iggies ability no doubt...

    Oh well. Hope he is happy. took the money and got out with his health and respect in tact, good luck to him.

    Did you see his fight with Ray Austin ?

    Wasn't exactly Ali-Fraizer.

    Why are u focusing on one fight? You can do that with any fighter! Go watch ali v cooper or a 6-0 leon spinks! Go watch frazier vs bonavena and bugner lol

    Frazier would not be allowed to fight today anyway on medical grounds due to being blind in one eye his entire career!And if he did it would be at CW probably anyway. A fight from the 70's is irrelevant today, this old timer nonsense is boring.

    And actually it was a good scrap:

    Sultan Ibragimov went life and death with Ray Austin who has a lot of heart, but not much else. Both are pretty crap fighters compared to many of the 70's fighters or better yet 90's era heavyweights.

    Lary holmes went life and death with a 15-0 tim witherspoon and bummy carl williams(probably lost to both) ibragimov would beat both of them! Ibragimov is better than i.e oleg maskaev who kayoed former lineal champ rahman twice!!

    A motivated and fully fit sultan would be competitive in any era, he wasn't in the best shape against austin but i dont know why no one will give him credit for the dismantling of briggs Who Was A Quality Fighter, briggs had just won the WBO heavyweight defeating Liakhovich ffs!

    Ibragimov is one of those rare things a southpaw HW champion! But if you would rather tell me that he performed poorly against Austin bla bla bla then...

    Wlad has fought (and beat) more southpaws than any other heavyweight ever in the history of the sport, I think the total is up around 7 or 8 right now.

    I still stand by Tony Thompson as being an ok fighter, I would fancy his chances vs smaller heavyweights, I think Wlad just took an all business approach to the fight and scared the shit out of him. Wlad's whole "Are you 100% healthy because I don't want to hear any bullcrap excuses after the fight" rant probably put Thompson on warning that he was about to get his ass kicked and psychologically I think Thompson is a weak fighter on the championship level. Give Thompson Chirs Byrd's guts and THEN you'd have something!

    Sultan Ibragimov was an ok guy, too heavy for cruiser and not big enough for heavyweight. He was quick, and very crafty, and he made the fight vs Wlad ugly, but in order to give himself a chance to win he had to. He didn't have huge power to blast opponents out of the water, he relied on handspeed and that just didn't work vs Wlad who stalked him down for 12 rounds and any time Wlad tried for a KO Sultan would cling on for dear life or run away.

    You're an idiot aren't you....

    Sultan Ibragimov being better than Tim Witherspoon or a prime Oleg Maskaev is delusional.

    You are living in denial brah.
