"Wladimir is maybe the most beautiful heavyweight since Muhammad Ali"

Once again, the US is not the only country in the world with television broadcasts.

 

larry a closet f--

 

No ****. However, if Wlad could even sniff Ali's jock, his fights would be televised here. Lewis fights were.

Just because the one guy with internet in Dafur can watch the Wlad fight doesn't mean it's televised in that country, either.

 

This is true . And i thought it was a **** take thread until i read the first post properly

 

Darfur is not a country, and I'm sure Chef wasn't counting Sudan anyway.

Have you ever heard of satellite television, son? You see, you can get reception in a whole lot of countries with it.

If you only had to read it twice, you're much more intelligent than most Manchester chavs.

 

I know Direct TV doesn't show the Wlad fights. I have to imagine that if Ali was fighting nowadays the European equivalent would show his fights. They showed Lewis.

FoxSports was showing European soccer on Saturday afternoon. They will broadcast soccer, but not Wlad. Americans hate soccer.

Once again, if Wlad could sniff Ali's jock, his fights would be events and televised, with hype, worldwide. Instead, you need thousands of dollars worth of equipment, a clear sky, and/or an internet connection just to find them.

 

are you sure it wasnt bubby who said this?

 

You're so amazingly Americentric and naive to the rest of the planet that it's just embarrassing (this coming from a fellow American)...

Satellite TV is broadcast by satellites that cover the globe. Not all satellite signals are scrambled. Many that are scrambled use conditional access algorithms that have been compromised so even people in developing countries have access, and it doesn't cost them "thousands of dollars." Therefore, Klitschko fights are available via satellite broadcast in countries the world over.

I'll ignore all the homo-erotic bull****.

 

Upon review, Wlad has excellent footwork, tremendous control, killer instinct when his man is hurt, and knockout power in both hands.

In all honesty, he would be terrifying to fight if you choose to box him. You absolutely have to get inside his jab, but his footwork is so good, it prevents his opponents from doing this.

He is easily one of the most skilled fighters in boxing today.

 

It also doesn't necessarily follow that just because a programme is broadcast to a nation that anyone actually watches it, certainly not in vast numbers anyway.

 

My bad for thinking a meaningful sporting event should be televised in America; particularly one on par with an Ali fight. After all, European soccer and Australian rules football even get airtime here.

Plus, I highly doubt a large number of people in developing countries are using their satellite tv to watch Wlad paw and grab. I do know that thousands of fans gathered at the airport just to watch Ali's arrival prior to the Rumble in the Jungle.

 

Idiot.

 

That the point, he was a serious talent! great post, short but pitty.

 

I know one thing, Wlads entrance music has improved 10 fold since them days. :yep


Wlad was lookin' awesome right there too.
