"quality" opponents Wlad "fought"

You can write all the lengthy posts you want, and post statistics till you're blue in the face.
When you try to pass of the likes of Leapai and Pianeta as quality opposition, you lose credibility.

All I know is Wlad is the King of Stinker Heavyweight Fights.

Ray Austin: Big American heavyweight.... was supposed to represent a huge challenge to Wlad... laid down like an obedient puppy and embarrassed himself over 2 short rounds.

Ibragimov: Terrified of getting hit with a left, Wlad pawed at Sultan over 12 miserable rounds. Sultan, as with most of Wlad's shitty opponents, was pretty terrified himself, creating a horrible spectacle about as much fun to watch as growing grass or drying paint.

Povetkin: One of the very few that actually came to fight. Unfortunately, no one told him the sport had been changed to WWF (World Wrestling Federation), and Wlad was ready with all the headlocks, arm holds, and grappling tactics in his arsenal. Again...... driven by fear.

Tony Thompson: The world was so enthralled with the competitiveness of their first fight.... they clamored for a rematch. So Wlad knocked him out again.

David Haye: All mouth, then............... "Toe-gate".

I'm pretty much through waiting for someone to give Wlad a good, competitive fight..... and for Wlad to fight like a champ, not a chump scared of having a stiff breeze touch his chin. Now I can't wait for him to retire, so maybe fans can get excited about the heavyweight division for the first time in years.

You've just listed Wlad's obvious stinkers and alleged ones too. For a guy with 66 fights, this aint so bad.

Especially when you consider Wlad is a technical boxer and when they encounter certain styles+attributes they lead to BORING FIGHTS!

I'm sorry that Wladimir is boring to watch, whether it's because it was Wlad's fault, the opponents fault or a bit of both at fault! But that's boxing. And that has ALWAYS been boxing!

Technical boxing like Wlad does is revolutionary. There is nothing ordinary about it. He transformed HW boxjng like none other before him from a scrappy brawl, into basically a game of chess! Backed with extreme power. That;s not something to be scorned at. As a casual fan sure, but we are supposed to be BOXING fans, able to appreciate technical ability as much as a good competitive scrap.

And to be honest, I like watching the more rough house fights of the modern era a bit more, like Holyfield, Tyson and Riddick Bowe and Vitali, even Lennox sometimes! But I also appreciate the cerebral methodical breakdown of Wlad's style as well and acknowledge the difference between crowd pleasing and effectiveness.

Your favourite Muhammad Ali (the GREATEST as you call him) is responsible for 5 times more stinkers than is Wladimir. He stunk the place out more than any other champ in history.

There is only one concession here, one of Wlaidmir's best wins now (vs Povetkin) happens to be even stinkier than any one of Ali's.

Let's not forget that Ali's Frazier fights are possibly the NEXT most stinky though! And these are regarded as Ali's HALLMARK fights!

Bias!
