When was the last time the #1 and #2 HWs squaring off looked as bad...

Margarito would never be a welterweight in another era.

Ask me whether he'd have good fights with the 60s crowd at middleweight and my answer would be a resounding 'yes'.

You think Margarito has more nous than Povetkin, Haye and Byrd? He could arguably be a better fighting machine than any of them taking style out of the equation, but he's a straight forward pressure fighter.

Certainly better than Sam Peter, yeah.

Or you're saying Margarito is more skilled than Wlad?

 

Here's the thing: to break into the top 10 at HW you don't need to face a murderers row.

To be as good as you think Floyd is, you do.

 

Antonio Margarito is more technically skilled than Wladimir Klitschko?

Yeah, alright then.

 

Again, comparing smaller fighters to 6'6 17.5 stone men is stretching to try and prove a point that doesn't need to be made.

Next up; Wlad is slow, Miguel Canto was much quicker on his feet than Wlad.

Absolute berk you are Bokaj.

 

It was reprehensible

 

You think Corbett and Fitzsimmons looked bad?

 

Bowe was amazing on the inside. He had a good jab too.

He had no defence and couldn't throw a straight right hand to save his life.

Double standards much?

 

What, specifically?

Corbett, for his part, moved a hell of a lot better than Pulev did considering both were in with known devastating punchers.

 

Again, because it's about context.

I expect more of the lower weight classes.

I expect less textbook finesse out of men of Wlad and Pulevs size.

And yes, I rate Lennox Lewis as the third greatest heavyweight of all time, much higher than I rank Wlad, and I think Lennox would blast him inside a few rounds prime for prime.
