How come he stopped fighting? This content is protected Sultan needs to get back in the gym. I gotta think he could probably beat Povetkin. Or some of these other guys who suck like Arreola but supposedly good. A guy like Arreola who is slow, blocks punches with his face and lacks boxing skill but is a good brawler. Sultan could give him a boxing lesson. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNE-JoO3bLI[/ame]
Sultan was an idiot. When he retired he was easily the 3rd best HW in the world after the K brothers. He is so far above arreola / Haye / Povetkin etc its insane!
Be more specific? What didnt he do well as a boxer? He seemed pretty quick, skilled, had a tight defense ,and some punching power.
Ill tell you what he didnt do well as a boxer and thats go for it when he had the chance to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Instead, he chose to run like a ***** so I dont really care about the guy or what he does. Just like Haye who I was a fan of pre Klitchko they have no real guts when it comes time to bit the bullet. We sore what these guys are made of boxings better off without them.
Haye and Sultan was tryin to counter punch Klitschko. Against somone not Klitschko they could do a better job.
Ibragimov lost to #1 Wladimir, had no chance against #2 Vitali, was beat twice as a amateur by Chagaev. So why not retire?
1) It's 'saw' 2) Iggy did what he did to survive and try and catch Wlad with the punch altering fight. Haye came to collect a paycheck from the dumbass masses who believed him.
Nah he already helped me catch up on enough sleep while he was around. Seriously, Sultan was a fairly good fighter, but nothing truely elite, and I think he knows he already has achieved all he could in the sport. Props to him for bowing out with his health intact, and probably plenty of money to help him into life after boxing.
You'd pick Chagaev vs Sultan as a pro? To me Chagaev looks like a slower less power easier to hit version of Sultan.
I dont care if its Klitchko Tyson Lewis Ali or even the great Joe Louis in front of you when you get a chance at the title the real title a chance to be immortalised as the champion of the world you shouldnt leave the ring like those punks did they should have put everything into the challenge instead they ran and collected a check. Thats why they slink into retirement they arent true fighters.
