Wlad is a bullshit champion!

[TitoFan]

Ten years?

Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Haye, Thompson, Byrd, Rahman, Povetkin, Brewster, Chambers

These were all top tier HW boxers, absolute nonsense to bash them!

Even guys like Austin, Brock, Wach, Pianeta etc were giant boxers with good or even undefeated records!

And Mormeck, probably the most mismatched to date apart from LEapai himself was still a 6 time world champion fighter!

I cannot think of any other HW boxer who had anywhere close to such a high quality record of opponents for a ten year run apart from Lennox Lewis!

Just the ramblings of a COMPLETE fool I am afraid!

Ok. First, I'm not bashing you Max but...

This cannot be a real post.

I've bolded my favorite parts.

I particularly like the part where you.... er.... or the computer program that wrote those words.... actually inserted Pianeta's name in that sentence. Stellar stuff!! Then there's the claim further down. Spectacular! Not one HW with anywhere near close to the 10-year run of quality opponents that Wlad has had. Not one!! Wow. And here comes Leapai, right on cue.

What else is there to say?

Look there Tito, Leapai is a weak opponent mate, so was Pianeta, by comparison to Wlad.

Pianeta had a manufactured record and he was a bit soft. Nobody is claiming he was a great fighter. But he WAS a hefty guy and he WAS an unbeaten fighter, exactly in the words of the sentence I wrote. Likewise the other guys mentioned had good records and were big guys too, there's no lies!

As for Wlad's run of opponents, point to one other boxer besides Lennox Lewis or Vitali Klitschko who consistently won against such good opponents? Honestly there are none.

Holyfield fought comparable opponents but he lost to many of them. Riddick's opponents were nowhere near as good, Tyson and Holmes had long unbeaten streaks but their opponents were not at the same level either. Valuev also fought a lot of substellar opposition.

I think you make the same mistake as so many, just because Wladimir performed so well against his better opponents does not make them a bum. The fact that he performed so well against such good opponents makes him so special as a champion!

yup, WLAD is a pussy champion. and i think briggs would ko the poor schlup if ole glass jaw ever had the balls to fight him. Wlad is NOT Vitali~!!!

[Max Power]

Oh come on fight fan! As if Briggs could have ever beaten Wladimir. It could have gone similarly to the LEwis fight, Briggs could have hurt Wlad like he did Lewis but I'm pretty sure Wlad would have beat him soundly in the end.

Briggs was a big tough HW but when he was young and athletic he was not a technical wizard by any measure and was even outboxed by old man Foreman.. Not hurt by his raw power or anything, OUTBOXED by a guy who barely knew how to box!

Older, bigger Briggs doesn't even have as much experience as Wladimir let alone the condition.

Trust me he would have handed the ass to any version of Briggs that existed.

Ibragimov wasted Briggs, and Wlaidmir shut out Ibragimov!

pretty sure when wladimir fought pianetta a lot of the other guys were busy and wladimir had a contract with the german tv guys to have a fight when he took on the eyetie..

wladimirs worst defence by far was against mormeck... no idea what they were thinking with that one other than having an easy match to get 50kos on his record.... people in france dont even care much about mormeck who is never a heavyweight and was well past it :S weird fight allround
