No AJ, beating Wlad will not make you a legend.

Povetkin is the second best guy he faced outside Fury and that fight should have ended in the 4th round with a DQ loss for Wlad.
He performed exactly how Akawandy fought Lewis and got the win for it. Wlads biggest fights proved how bad he was , not how good he was.
Carlos Takam out boxed Povetin for 5-6 round before he tired. Wlad couldn't out box Povetkin for even a minute.
Wlad will only be known for his losses and disgraceful foul fested victories.

 

Wladimir outboxed Povetkin in every round I'm afraid, 12-0 rounds to Klitschko. Sorry if you can not handle that fact, but why don't you just continue to be bitter about it. Won't make any difference.

 

Says a lot about you if you think that was boxing.

 

Says a lot about how good Wladimir is that people have to make up stuff, deny facts, and judge him on a much higher standard in order to discredit him.

 

The problem is, these guys refuse to fight each other.
In the golden age of boxing, they would have already fought one another and the cream would already have risen to the top.
Based on Vlad's last fight (fight?), and the fact he has no belt, it's obvious the only reason AJ takes this fight is money. Still, it is prize-fighting even though it really has zero meaning.
For Vlad, it is a fight that could put him back into contention, but isn't even as significant as BHOP's win over Pavlik.

 

wlad is defined by beating a good amateur? wow u know how to dump on wlad!

 

ha u mean a higher standard than beating a good amateur?

this is the "gold standard" that YOU'VE chosen..and u are harping on about others making it up in order to devalue walldo - u r doing yourself and u dont even know it.

 

That Povetkin fight will destroy any claim he has for greatness. It can never be erased. One of the worst black eyes ever for the sport of boxing.
If you endorse that performance , it just makes you a fan of one man and not a true fan of the sport.

 

Yes, because gold medal winners like Wladimir, Ali, Frazier, Lewis, Foreman, Stevenson, Povetkin etc were awful weren't they?

 

No beating a solid figher makes you great I'm afraid. It's a pretty simple concept really. Most non bitter people understand it.

 

Wlad came pretty close to knocking Povetkin out and then just settled for the points win. But never mind, ay TrollHelmet.

 

Speaking of HW Olympic Gold Medal winners... can you name the one with the most HW Title defenses? The basement dweller you're arguing with knows the answer but he'll get too angry to say
