    Funny how midwits like you and your group (the only people liking your posts) who have probably never stepped foot in the gym, say i don't know what I'm talking about whereas knowledge people who actually know their stuff and actually box all find value in my posts. Gee I wonder why that is I'm sure you armchair warriors know better though.

    Almost like its expanded upon it in other posts in terms of technique but of course you ignored that because your reading comprehension is lacking. And what I said still has more substance then anything you've said on the matchup so far. It seems when its not inciting fourm drama or trying to act smug you're all style and no substance. You can learn a bit from me chum ;)

    I don't stalk anyone we're on the same fourm and respond to the same topics of course if you say something wrong (which you do often) or make one of your long winded posts without any real substance I'll call you out on it because frankly I can't stand smug asswipes like yourself who try to act smarter then they really are. You don't like it tough **** don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Ok,so Sonny proved he has a great chin.Which is more than you can say for Wlad.
    Also, Liston absolutely kept his nerve and barely blinked when caught by Williams.Wlad
    did tend to panic when under pressure.

    Oh
    Oh come on,that fight is still evidence of what would happen if Wlad fought Mr Liston.

    So you're saying Wlad would beat Liston after a tough fight? That's actually a great take.

    Well, it's a certain type of behavior, driven by the need to denigrate the past masters of boxing in the vain belief that this will somehow elevate certain of the more recent 'Classic' boxers. It probably starts out as a naive expectation that their bubble-based-ideology is shared by everyone. The culture shock of discovering this isn't the case seems to cause a severe reaction in some, whereby their raison d'être manifests irrational and mindless input.

    Plenty of space or no, the place could do with a makeover - starting with fumigation.

    So yet another war about Wlad.

    This has to be some kind of record.

    It wouldn't come close to some of the goings on in here over the years. There's been a lot of wars over a lot of different fighters.

    I meant just for Wlad but that being said I can imagine at various points during his reign people were probably going to war then too.

    Yeah there was a lot of arguing over him over many years. Mendoza championed him non stop but he perma banned so a lot of it died.

    Reminds me of the arguments around Lennox Lewis in the early 2000's. Not on the forum of course, but in the press.

    This is interesting to me.

    Do you consider Wlad a back-foot fighter? Or are you referring more specifically to Wlad's tendency to place his weight on his rear foot?

    Cortisone taken before an athletic event will make you feel terrific. You're out of your element.

    He'd have to change his name to Sonny Listless after the fight.
