I'm glad some other people get it. I knew it was obvious to the Brits, but I thought it must still have been fairly clear to those used to a different sense of humour. It's these kind of threads that really bring the idiots out of the woodwork - they wail away at the keyboard, frothing at the mouth, totally oblivious to the fact that they have completely missed the point.
Lineal to what? WBC is highly regarded but lineal is undisputed not particular belt. Booth was talking about WBA being on par with WBC aside from others. Now he just can stop there.
Who cares. The champion makes the belt, no the other way around. Either the board has been overrun with a clan of anal retentive attorneys, or you guys are just bored.
I agree. But it's much better than Haye's from what I've seen. The reason for this is simple: but of them probably hit the weights a bit too much, but Wlad is a bigger natural heavy and his frame can take a more weight...Haye is not. He is a tweener. A smallish heavy or a large cruiser.
While the Klitschko are not exactly rythmically gifted. Haye isn't exactly the most fluid fighter in the world either. In fact, he's quite sloppy. He's combinations need work and his punches frequently miss their mark. He hasn't had to pay for that yet because with the exception of an over the hill Valuev, he's always fast smaller, weaker, much slower competition. That won't be the case with Wlad. He might be faster, but it's not as much as some Haye fans think. Wlad has a particularly fast jab and crisp left hook.
