Wlad is "today" not the past. He had to fight the fighters who are living today and Thompson was his mandatory so he has to fight him.
Of course, because you know a prime bum of the month is worth so much more than some regular bum of the month
means nothing, since louis bums of the month lasted a few months of his 11 year reign, but wlads is a bum of the month reign.
why? you seem happy to argue that Wlad being part of a bigger generation would outmatch a 6 foot Louis. But when your own argument, that bigger future guys would beat the **** out of Klit, is used to put down your own man Klitto, you laugh it off. So, with all those smilies you post, you are laughing at your own arguments. Good luck with that. but dont be so mean to yourself. And try a winning argument, not a losing one, next time.
Wladimir is a great boxer / champion. To deny that you have no clue what so ever about boxing. However to deny that his opposition isn't as great as the 70's and 90's you also must be clueless. But one thing to remember is this, every other sport has gone forward and developed since the 50's and boxing isn't an exception. So Wladimir will have his place in history with all the greats in the sport.
Could Mcvey already admit he's trolling or ignorant of the subject he was whining about in the first place?
So basically Wlad should just throw the IBF belt in the bin right? Moron. Here's the Ring Mag HW Rankings: C. Wladimir 1. Vitali 2. Povetkin (Not Ready) 3. Adamek 4. Pulev (Already Fighting Solis) 5. Helenius (Injured) 6. Boytsov (Not Ready Yet) 7. Chagaev (Already Beat Him by TKO) 8. Arreola (Possible Next Opponent) 9. Fury (Not Ready) 10. Solis (Already Fighting Pulev)
Wlad will have to reconsider his financial standpoint to land the fights the fans want to see and that will add to his legacy. Who of the list above would refuse a 3-4 million payday? The K brothers have been offering much less. Povetkin - refused the fight several times, despite being offered fair money Adamek - only wants it in 2013 Helenius - Injured Pulev / Boytsov / Arreola / Fury / Wach - the real possibilities?? Solis - not deserving, question marks surround his knee health for now, poor showing against Vitali. Mitchel / Price / T. Hammer / M. Perez / Jennings / Ortiz / Dimitrenko / Ustinov - still not deserving.
I'm sick of Wlad making excuses for fighting easy fights. Wlad is a coward that can't take a damn punch. He is killing boxing holding on to those belts fighting people that can't hit him back. Wlad has a weak ass chin and he knows it. I'm so sick of the Klitschko's and there excuses. What is Vitali's excuse for his next bull**** fight?? They suck and they fight tomato cans.
