So much hate for Wladimir yet too much respect for a fat cheating trash talking loser like Toney. Think it's obvious the majority cheer for what they can relate to physically and financially. A good example is how Wladimir looks, it's obvious the ***** he gets nearly none here can even come close to and then you get the obvious laughable hate from ugly secretaries.
Brewster was no joke at all. I think he's all burnt out now but he was certainly no joke at his best.
He was considered a major joke back then and laughed at going in against Wladimir in the first fight. Then he struggles with Meehan after that fight and people look down on him more till the domination of Golota which he was looked at as a walking dead man going into as well. He might have not been a joke but his fighting style and poor defense is what made the majority take him slightly, if there were serious skills they were going to be obvious before the first Wladimir fight which also wasn't a display of skill but a display of taking punches like a heavybag till Wladimir completely faded. Even after that win people knew he was the weakest title holder till the Golota fight took place then came the Lyakovich fight and it was downhill from there. The Krasniqi fight was an amazing one but even that one he was threatened to lose as well. Can't really blame these people, Brewster actually lost to Etienne.
I said he was no joke, I didn't say he was God's gift to pugilism for ****'s sake. He was a tough ******* who took it and gave it on a world class level. No manifesto required to denigrate him.
I rather enjoyed the KO of Ray Austin myself. Not Wlad's best work but it showed how far ahead of the Heavyweight pack he really is. Literally KOing his opponent without a single right hand. When was the last time a HW threw that many left hooks, that fast, in a row? The power & accuracy proved Klitschko was miles above the rest. The Brock KO was highlight reel material too, as was the Thompson KO & the Byrd beatdown in the rematch.
The Sanders fight was funny, but when Brewster knocked him the **** out, that was pure comedic value.
...but I think Lennox getting his ass knocked out by McCall and Rahman was comedy gold :hi:... atschfkn brit...
The Peter fight was the best for up and down action.......... Sammy had a lot of fire in his belly back then...
