The beginning of a new age in Heavyweight Boxing

[Violent Demise]

I think "best" isn't a word that should be used to describe any of the current bunch. Least worst is probably the best way to put it.

So who you think is the least worst?

So who you think is the least worst?

I don't know and I don't care. The last heavyweight fight I saw was Chagaev (?) struggling to beat British removal man and part-time boxer Matt Skelton. Chagaev I think beat the huge guy Valuev (?) who recently beat some other ov. So that means it's either Chagaev or the winner of Saturday's fight. But whoever it is is still rubbish. I just can't see the point in taking the current heavyweights seriously.

So if you don't care, don't follow or watch the division why bother posting here? You are not contributing anything that adds to the thread.

Ibragimov seems to always be written off before fights and keeps winning. Obviously he's not fought someone like Klitschko before, but i think he's a more difficult opponent than he gets credit for.

While I do admit I sell Sultan a tad short but it's only because he's been such a bipolar fighter, he's either on his game or he's not...and his power punches either affect someone or they don't.

It's very hard to judge him based on past fights...I don't know what to think of him.



I do know how Wladimir fights and I do know what he can do and yeah I think he's going to win this fight by KO because he has had 52 fights and won 49 of them 44 by KO....so the odds are in his favor in my opinion

I've only seen highlights of his last two fights so am no expert, it's just that he seems to be a guy who's regularly written of by "experts" and the guys here but he wins. I've just noticed that about Sultan. I would think too that Klitschko should KO him but Sultan seems to be a shifty bugger to fight so you never know.

Well Sultan was one of those guys people were hot on as some kind of power punching KO artist similar to Mike Tyson and he hasn't lived up to it.

Sultan is good in some fights....Lance Whittaker

But he's EXTREMELY disappointing in other fights: Ray Austin, Shannon Briggs, Evander Holyfield.


And the way I see it, Sultan just isn't good enough at this stage in his career to beat Wladimir without getting REALLY REALLY lucky

Yeah ok. That's interesting because my impression of him is as a boxer who likes a points win. You know - i had the misfortune of seeing the Briggs fight. That was woeful.

I'm wondering why some people take the heavyweight division seriously. Let's face it, it's a legitimate question.
