Does anybody else miss the Klitschko era ?

before they banned peds nobody was fat, ever notice that

 

Uh....no. Not really. I will give them credit for being dominant and conducting themselves like champions and kudos to their promoters because their events certainly looked like championship affairs; but the fights were dull and non-competitive. If they'd had some real tests in there, maybe; but I just can't miss an era where the outcome of the fight was essentially a forgone conclusion.

 

What wlad fights have you enjoyed rewatching?

 

you are right those were nothing like fury vs pajkic, hammer, pianeta, or his wars with greats like seferi, schwartz, wallin , not sure why they had to give tickets away and arenas were still half empty.

 

this era is worse but it’s competitive.

 

Did Arreola not also pop dirty? Did he not in fact have his last fight before Wilder changed to a NC because of it?

 

That era? Total drag.

 

Terrible era in both quality and entertainment. Wlads reign has a huge asterisk next to it, with the deck stacked massively against every opponent in Germany. Vitali lost to both elite opponents he faced and doesn’t have a signature win. Both get smashed in the current era.

 

Not really. Not because of him, more because he didn't have many worthy adversaries for most of his reign.

 

You kinda answered your own question. He popped for Travis , not Wilder.

 

You have to be nothing but a troll to believe this crap....

 

As soon as the division heated up Wlad got dismisssed. Stop your crying it’s pathetic.

 

Not to mention that Fury tested positive for steroids close to Wlad fight.

 

Wlad was about 40 when he retired you troll.

 

yea clown you are right he was in his prime just 42 years young.
