    Tubbs out points him or wears him down with combo's to the body.

    Imagine if Haye was a bit bigger , had a real jab , had better movement and could throw blistering punches in bunches , but more importantly if he fought Wlad in a neutral venue where is illegal holding wasn't tolerated.
    Wlad barely won as it was , the difference was only a few shots per round because Haye outlanded him on power punches. .
    Imagine Tubbs , who would better Haye on the outside and had a ref who allowed him work and get off when he got close instead of being grabbed and leaned on.
    Consider Wlad landed a pityful one jab per round against Haye and it fair to say Tubbs would take it out of the equation completely.
    Like he did with spoons jab which forced Spoon to put the pressure on Tubbs and walk him down. Even Tyson was made abandon the jab and fell back on the hook by hook combination.
    Its not in Wlads programming to walk guys down and the system crashes when he can't get the jab working.
    He'd look like he did against Fury - waiting for opportunitys that will never come and putting all of his resources into not getting hit.
    A DQ is very likely also due to excessive , needy hugging out of desperation and panic at being beaten to the punch.
    I mean if he could barely hit basic guys like Haye and Jennings , what hope would he have at hitting Tubbs? This is the reality perception , not the K-world perception

    I think Klitschko would've got to Tubbs eventually and stopped him. If they went the distance I think it would likely be a close decision to Klitschko possibly Tubbs could've out pointed him.

    so "pitiful attempts to troll are quite flat" BECAUSE you deny listing a LHW, a crap boxer and an admittedly good amateur who did nothing after wlad.

    I dont follow that, could you care to explani how your denial, YOUR action, makes someone else a troll.

    Or are you just clutching at any straw you can now with the troll claim. yeh thought so.

    presumably neither a selective blindness that lets you NOT see retired fat fcuk neverman sanders not easily killing wlad in seconds.

    chew on that double negative.

    Sure they competed at heavyweight that makes them heavyweights I don't refer to Ali as a light heavyweight or Evander Holyfield as a cruiserweight when he fought Tyson. You simply try to denigrate an accomplished fighter to suite your purpose to take away from a fighter you despise. Sorry I'm not playing your game. Byrd, Chambers and Ibrigamov were good pros, possessed skill and lost easily to Wlad.
    Tubbs was ko'd in one round by journey man jimmy Ellis, and Lionel Butler. He was taken the distance by Wimpy Halstead. As someone posted above it's about levels and Tubbs isn't on Wlad's level nor does he possess the style to trouble Wlad. Sometimes it's just that simple but unfortunately you're blinded by hate and forced to become a troll. Have a good day sir. Better luck next time troll.

    I remember Chambers was so annoyed with Wlad leaning all his weight down on his back he picked him up in protest.
    No wonder little 6 foot Eddie Chambers was in a zombified state in the 12th . It was a 209 lb CW vs SHW.

    The sad truth of the matter is Wlad wouldn't even have got the stoppage 10 seconds before the final beg rang if it wasn't for all the enegry draining leaning he was constantly inflicting on Chamber during the entire fight.. :drooling:

    Corrie Sanders got to Wladimir early. Tubbs has similar hand speed but
    not the power or was a southpaw who was a very quick starter. Would
    be similar to Chris Byrd first fight. Wladimir on pts in a borefest.

    Wlad is 4-1 against Major Title Holders. Hard to face many major title holders when you hold 3 of them for a decade.

    He's like an aggravated simian in the zoo. You can't argue with him because most of the time you can't even make out what his point is.
