Larry Merchant blows that guy up like there is no tomorrow...did u hear when he was all, "...and now Madison Square Garden will await the entrance of this huge, beautiful man..." I was like wow Larry. You must really be on this guy's nuts...
Brock was undefeated and an unknown going into the fight....if he was as bad as you say he is he would have been KO'd in the first

Name me a current heavyweight that will 100% without a doubt beat Wladimir....that's not "overrated" that's what we call GOOD. Wlad is skilled, it's not his fault HBO put the heir apparent title on his shoulders! I'd agree if this was before the Sanders fight but right now Wladimir has come through adversity and he has really been asked to prove himself and he's done it.

I don't compare him to Ali and Foreman....I think most of the haters do that. The ONLY thing I compare Ali and Wlad with is clinching...that's it

Vitali was damn good too....one of the only fighters I know of that never got knocked down....not once! And he KO'd all but one of the guys he beat.....I don't care who you are fighting that is fucking outstanding!!!
