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...
