    It doesn't seem like you know what a janitor is.

    It sounds better if you say he was a Custodial Engineer

    I came to say the same thing.

    The guy is a hard worker . . . and people are knocking him for that??

    Seriously??

    We as a society are doomed.

    Bet he made more money than OP doing that... Not really a bad gig if you read into it more.

    Good for him working his a$$ off to make his life better, and becoming the mandatory by beating top-tier HWs. To suggest this is egregious is s_t_u_p_i_d

    There's basically nobody who can compete with Wlad. The only interesting fights are versus guys who have some physical advantage on Wlad like Wilder or Fury. And it's not like those guys have a shot either.

    Povetkin II wouldn't be bad either.

    Pulev was the only guy who looked like he had a <10% chance and he got stomped.

    Right.

    I doubt that Leapai who lost every round to Malik Scott and was knocked out by Kevin Johnson would be able to beat declined Lyakhovich, not to mention Fedosov, Szpilka and Perez.

    Jennings >>>> Leapai

    Leapai and Lyakhovich being 2 different people is just not right. They should merge.

    Wlad should be ashamed of himself fighting these bums.

    As usual I won't watch the fight live.

    Most of the ye olde day Heavyweight greats had fulltime dayjobs too until they got their first shot at the title, and some even way beyond that... yet those eras were much stronger as this one according to a lot of boxfans.

    At this day a lot of the lower tier "pro" boxers are essentially semi-pros, because pay is much too low. Look at a monster like Kovalev... he only was a "fulltime pro" because his trainer/manger paid his expenses, he could have had a dayjob too up until finally signing with Duva.
