    Well you are just going to have to learn to deal with disappointment big guy because I am not bending on my view of the division....I find the division just fine and even better once there is a unified champ because it means people actually have to do something to EARN a shot to beat the ONE TRUE CHAMPION.

    I don't really care if you think the division is bad.....I am just tired of reading it. Every post you have it's complaining about something.

    Nobody has to earn anything in the heavyweight division. A 40 year old removal man and part-time boxer just fought for a version of the world title. If a live body comes along in the next couple of years they can take their pick of any of these guys.

    If you don't like what I'm writing that's just your tough fucking luck.

    Are you talking about Skelton Wlad isn't fighting bums like him and if he had to he'd knock them out.....he KO'd Ray Austin in 2 and he told everyone beforehand that he wanted a unification bout but he had to fight his mandatory.


    It's not just who you fight it's how you fight them....Joe Louis THE GREATEST Heavyweight Champion in the history of the sport had his "bum of the month club" but he beat them all by stoppage and gave the fans their money's worth.


    But go ahead with your opinion I don't care

    You gotta question Ray Austin being his mandatory, that was lame...

    The funny thing is Ray Austin actually fought Sultan Ibragimov in an eliminator for this position. And drew.

    That is an example of the outside forces on boxing....promoters and guys who run these alphabet titles work hand in hand sometimes and sometimes they try to undercut a fighter.

    Ray Austin worked hard for his title shot by defeating Larry Donald, Owen Beck, and drawing with Sultan Ibragimov. Why Beck was rated so highly after his TKO loss to Monte Barrett is something worth thinking about but this is another thing in boxing....if only the boxers chose who they wanted to fight then we might get bum after bum after bum, if only the promoters chose it might be similar, if only the alphabet people chose then we might get only the guys who pay dues to that alphabet group...right now it's a mix of all 3 and it still doesn't work well at times.

    Ray Austin was completely overmatched and Wladimir did what any good champion would do, he KO'd the fighter without wasting any time.

    I actually look forward to this Saturday night in some respects.

    I see Klitschko taking it with that straight right hand. Sultan's southpaw stance may play right into his hands.

    Indeed.

    I think I hit the nail squarely on the head with "Giant Fairy."

    ...well I am happy to see your attitude is just as smug as it was the last time you posted on here.

    When it comes to the heavyweight division Wladimir is the man he dominated the other title holder eventhough he wasn't able to execute his true fight plan....he adapted and won, basically pitching a shutout.


    And why would I feel anything new about your constant negative views on anything and everything....you know you're like the A-Bomb....everyone is laughing and having a great time and then you come along and boom everyone is dead

    You're not defending that performance are you? He was facing a three foot midget who had to jump in the air to hit him on the chin and he was still too scared to throw a punch.

    No, that performance wasn't what I had hoped for but Wladimir won and honestly that was the most basic thing I wanted from that fight.....although a KO would have been lovely.


    Sultan proved to be a capable fighter and he took some big right crosses...when they were thrown of course.


    Wladimir did what he needed to do to win, he'll KO the next guy....southpaws just aren't Wlad's bag and I don't think he's alone in that regard
