2012:Wlad's lost year

And yet my fellow brits dont rip haye to bits for having what ?, 2 fights per year, and going off on tv shows like he is now, after haye did chisora he should have tried to fight some top men instead of once again trying to get a klit fight, the mans a straight up *****........and sadly if he really went for it he could have had quite a HW career

 

Huck is looking for a pay day and has nothing to threaten Wladimir with. Huck would be an easier fight than Wach.

 

More like one fight a year.

 

That isn't the point, what he said was right if you ignore the stuff about himself :good

 

Yeah, in the end that's how it turned out, but it wasn't Wlad's fault for the most part. Arreola was supposed to happen, Fury turned down several offer.

Tony Thompson was a mandatory, Wach was a decent contender, Mormeck was a mistake he never did anything at HW.

 

Meh. Due to the results of 2012 we now have allowed enough others to build themselves up to a much higher standard and even the WBC have actually lent their hand in getting rid of chumps like Stiverne and Arreola from Wlad's sights leaving him a freehand to in theory have his definitive year which on paper will be 2013.

Povetkin mandatory. The only man other than his brother that stands a shot at ending Wlad's reign since Peter.

Pulev mandatory. Finally someone who can actually attempt his own jab on the master of the art.

Adamek/Solis to round up the year with a great legacy enhancing fight.

Very tough ask to cut through all those but if he does it'll be quite the achievement.

 

None of those would have done more for Wlad's career than who he actually fought.

 

One day, we'll see some worthy challengers, like Wepner, London, Musto, Rademacher, McNeeley, Rodriguez and Ferguson. Those were the murderers' row challengers. Things will never be like they were though. In the golden days of pugilism. For then, men were men, title challengers were always made of iron and had HOF resumes and earned their title shots the hard way, swimming against the tide. What I wouldn't give for a JP Coopman or Richie Dunn, right about now. Ali wouldn't get out of bed to fight a guy like Thompson.

 

2012 was a good year for Waldo. 3 fights, 1 mandatory, no injuries. 2013 could see Povetkin & Pulev I hope so that should be even better.

 

I have no problem with momack, no one was calling wlad out, an he wanted to stay busy, if he fights charr 1st next year, as long as he doing it to stay busy, an no one legit is stepping up who cares,,,,as a fan I like him to take 3 fights a year, I look forward to them, I could care less what some dip **** who only wants wlad to lose thinks who is worthy. Hell you haters should be happy he taking these fights, wlad looked past fighters before an lost (Brewster, purity, an sanders) this is probley your only real chance for him to lose. Go ask Hayes if he was ready for him or peters (either fight)

 

:thumbsup

 

They have all the negotiation power. Why should they give power away to opponents who can't draw flies to ****? In your first job, did you demand the same salary as the CEO? You had no negotiation power, just like most of his opponents don't. Wlad brings in the $$$, not them.

 

:good

 

I don't see the big deal about this. It's called negotiating power. If you're a nobody then you get a **** contract. Just like if you got no education you get dishwasher job instead of the CEO treatment. That's how life works.

Mandatory challengers don't sign slave contracts. Any fighter who doesn't like a Bonte contract can simply become mandatory challenger :deal

 

^Pay attention to this post, brittards.

Wlad is staying active. 6 or 7 heavyweight CONTENDERS are ducking him.

One fight was a mandatory (let it go, it was a ****ing mandatory), one fight was against a huge undefeated, iron chinned, but limited fighter, the last was a poor opponent who was easily dispatched.
