    Pulev is ****
    povetikin is aight but nothing great...jennings beats him.
    fury is garbage
    chisora is garbage
    takam is worse than garbage.

    jennings beats them all...and i'm saying jennings isn't even that good. i give wlad a far better chance against jennings than stiverne or wilder who i think would both KO him.

    Well I live not too far from Joshua's hometown so he is a local in my eyes, very talented and a good future. Do you like any white fighters?

    well, the answer to the question is: no...beating a long line of bums means abso****inglutely nothing. doesn't mean you're great. doesn't put you next to ali or tyson or louis. doesn't indicate your skill level. end of story.

    It does. Louis, Holmes, Lewis are considered great fighters even though they defended against a lot of bums.

    Fair enough. I mean across the 200year boxing span line in any weight class, or do you feel sick to the stomach watching a white man fight!

    The division is weak, and Wlad is boring more often than not. But his greatness is based on his logevity and willingness to fight the best available to him. I dont think people realize how difficult it is to come in great shape every fight and not lose your focus. No matter what you think of his era or style that still deserves respect. A lot of great champions were unable to do this and it doesnt appear as if Wlad is going to lose anytime soon.

    I sincerely hope not. It's not going to look good when his favourite heavyweight fighters all get starched one after the after.

    It worked well for Joe Louis and Ali.

    Klitschko has fought several #2s, and several #1s when he was not on top.

    Your'e man Floyd......can he say the same? Or does he get a cherry picking pass due to his nationality and racial origin for you?:think

    You truly are serially monotonous. :-(
