Lyakhovic had a pretty good performance against Bewster but deteriorated soon after. At his best he was a very good heavyweight, tough, hard hitting, technically sound, and that sharp right to the body was a killer.
If Ibragimov hadn't retired he might have been a bit better regarded. He was always on the small side, but his speed and trickiness were world class. I think he could have given Povetkin and Chagaev a great fight. It's a pity neither of those fights materialised.
Not me , i haven't been here much lately , but i made the mishap of looking through the thread while logged out and saw that other class clown is still posting about me even when im not around. Truly one of the saddest losers ive ever encountered online in my entire life. Nah , he's a useless bum, .Glass chin and glass heart. Courage of a weasel , which is why he quit the sport after he sold his belt to Clinchko. Even when a belt was offered up to cowardly Wlad without resistance ,he was still too scared to go and take it by force. Pair of jokes the both of them
The am fight with Chagaev is on youtube. I wouldn't be surprised if one with Povetkin is also out there.
Luis Ángel Firpo who beat former HW champ Jess Willard and who managed to knock Dempsey out of the ring. deserves honorable mention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Ángel_Firpo
