"You know? I'm the biggest Wlad fan here. But I'll be the first to admit that the Sultan fight was a huge stinker, partly because of Wlad himself. The Povetkin fight? Not one of Wlad's shining moments." "

1. I've said that before for both of those fights.

2. "Partly" Where's your usual hyperbole?

3. No comments regarding the other fights you whined about?



Wlad DID attempt to KO Sultan throughout the fight, but when a 6'6 fighter attempting to utilize height and reach is stalking down a 6'0 southpaw who is leaning back over his right foot and in a crouch presumably loading up for 1 gigantic haymaker while giving Wladimir a teeny tiny window for a pin point punch you have to think for 1 second.....do you BOX or do you go for broke and look like a complete ass when you get clipped on the chin by a Hail Mary of a punch? People can bring up Mike Tyson and how he banged out scared fighters....because his style was suited to do just that. Wladimir's style is to win rounds and wear a fighter down if he can't get an early 1 punch KO then a culmination of punishment over 12 will win him the fight just the same and THAT at the end of the day is what you're squawking about.

Did the fight look good? NO but a WIN is a WIN...you want to run down Bernard Hopkins record and see how many beautiful fights he had?
