Than why did ESPN pick it up? Wlad sells out fight venues all the time.
I enjoy watching Wlad dish out punishment on his opponents and wondering how much longer they can keep taking those shots. People complain that Wlad jabs his way to victory but his jab is more powerful than most HWs straight rights/lefts....Wlad has bad fights (Sultan) just like any other fighter but for me the Ruslan fight was pretty good.

Setting you Klitheads straight is so easy.
So tell me dude when was the last time Floyd enjoyed a drastic height, weight, reach and power advantage?
Not to mention your comparing a fighter from the absolute weakest and unmarketable division, to a fighter who fights within the realms of what has been called a golden era for 140/147

- Lets look at Floyd's opposition:
Ricky Hatton - Floyd had every advantage over hatton, size, speed, reflexes defense, and what does he do? Floyd feints, and plays keep away while pot shotting hatton for 10 rounds
Baldomir - Floyd had every adavantage over the slow as molasis Baldomir and chose to hang back and just pot shot his way to a decision.
De La Hoya - Again, Floyd had speed and youth on his side and what does he do? he runs the whole fight....
I wonder how Floyd will fight Marquez, who again has has a ton of physical advantages? Is he going to go in and try to knock him out? NO - is he going to fight a defensive fight and pot shot......
Dont dog Wlad for lacking killer instinct when your hero has little if no killer instinct himself.
This is way too easy
CLASS DISMISSED

Really?
If ignorance is bliss you must be estatic my friend
Floyd enjoys 3-4 inch height advantages over his opponents
Floyd enjoys 5in reach advantages?
Floyd Enjoys 20lb weight advantages over his opponents?
Not to mention PFP Hatton and Delahoya are leagues above anyone Klit has ever fought!!!!
Hatton, Delahoya and Baldomir are all naturally bigger men than Floyd...

Wait... you're serious??
Floyd actually came into the ring lighter than Hatton, and started his career much lighter. Hatton was a big 140lber, Floyd was considered smaller than average at the weight. He then beat up on Hatton at his own game on the inside, moving in and out drawing him onto the punches. He did not just jab his way away from him. Also almost no one thought Floyd would KO Hatton, but he did.
Baldomir was a considerably bigger man, and was known for having a great chin. That's not someone you want to get into a slugfest with, however, I will concede that this was in no way an exciting fight.
Oscar came into the fight at least 15lbs heavier, this was a guy who was considered the best LMW in the world at this point, and Floyd came in and beat him despite being so much smaller. Also only B-Hop had ever actually stopped him with a body shot, so no way was Floyd going to lay him out, not at LMW anyway.
Also generally when Floyd has fought lower levels of opposition, eg Gatti, Mitchell, Manfredy (all of whom are equivalent of the guys getting taken out by Wlad) he has jumped on them and had them out by at latest the 6 round mark.
We'll see how he fights JMM before making a judgement on that, just as we will when/if Wlad fight Haye.
You can't even compare their opposition, the best Wlad has beaten is Chagaev, who as good as he is, is not that much better in talent than say Judah, who Floyd was the same size as. If Chagaev was the same height as Wlad, would he have been so easy to pick off.
Mayweather has beaten, and in some cases stopped, guys who are a shoe-in for the HoF. I can't think of a single guy Wlad has beaten who will get there.

The heavyweight division STINKS period
You cant blame it on the klitschkos for being too good. The reason heavyweight boxing is in a rut is mainly down to countrys like the US/UK that produce the exciting, powerful guys but just arent bringing them through anymore.
Since lewis we`ve had sod all other than a brief 15minutes of fame from danny williams and the current overhyping of the showhorse that is david haye.
America hasnt produce a quality heavyweight for 15 odd years now and ive already made my thoughts on this situation many times over.
one dangerous horrible bloke
