    So the 32 year old Ali is matched against prime Wlad, lmao.

    If he had met Sanders a few years before he wouldn't have been in the midst of changing trainers which may have a greater effect than what nonboxers think it has.

    Guys, "if's" are not allowed in boxing. Either it happened or it didn't. You can't change boxing history.

    We love Sanders R.I.P, but Sanders wasn't Frazier.

    Why is 32 past Ali's prime? He had a long break from tough fights. Is it because when Ali was 32 Ali had a formidable opponent like Foreman does that make 32 past Ali's prime? For a heavyweight 32 is around their prime.

    The Byrd that Wlad beat the second time was a far cry from the Byrd of a few years prior.
    He stood flat-footed right in front of Wlad and utilised a high guard.
    He thought that the best way to fight Wlad was to stand right in front of him, apparently.

    The funny thing is that I played that fight back-to-back with Ali's fight with Terrell, and it was remarkable to see just how slow both Wlad and Byrd looked in comparison to both Ali and Terrell.
    Man, Byrd was flat-out slow in the second fight. It's a cheek even comparing his handspeed and mobility to Ali's.

    And Wlad...yeah he's fast for a large man, but still his hands are nowhere near as fast as Terrell's, who couldn't land anything meaningful on Ali in 15 rounds.
     
  8. The only line of defense these Klitschko detractors have now after being mauled into submission with indisputable truths and facts is to post laughing emitcons with a basic retort on lines of something akin to, "your stupid," or "you DKSAB."

    So now we have an anvil/butt punch whatever to add to the litany of weird and wonderful excuses whenever Wlad loses. Keep 'em coming. :lol:

    Really? When last did Wlad walk through anyone? The only early round stoppage on his entire championship ledger is Ray Austin. One guy. I'll be generous and throw in the artificially bulked-up and ancient Mormeck. Two guys.
    The last time he scored a 1st round KO was ten years ago.

    He ain't 'walking through' Terrell. That's a laugh.
     
  11. His hands are nowhere near as fast as Terrel's? You must be ingesting some mind altering drugs. You might as well say that Terrel had a speed advantage over Lennox Lewis (considering Wlad was most definitely faster and generally more athletic than Lewis). Only in Muhammatard land is Terrel worthy of such appraisal for doing absolutely nothing. I'd say that David Haye is much faster, powerful, and mobile than Terrel and Wlad arguably won that fight 12-0.

    Only in Klitschko land.

    How can I rebutt, in fact why should I need to, an excuse as weak and feeble as that? Preposterous. Beyond ridiculous.

    Go watch the tape. Terrell is way quicker than Wlad in handspeed.

    Wlad ain't walking through Earnie Terrell.
    Oh, he may outbox him and stop him late, but walking through him? No. Wlad does not fight that way. He fights to protect his fragile chin and takes as little risk as is possible.
