    remember you was a kid and cut your finger with a pen knife? guess you learned something since and not easy to cut it now? why always jump in the past and bring it like it's now? wlad learned and corrected his mistakes. he is getting better with the time unlike tyson.

    Who did Ibragimov test his illusiveness against? Ancient versions of Briggs and Holyfield who moved about as swiftly as a couple of elephants stuck in concrete? How about a 35 year old Ray Austin who fought him to a draw? The only time Ibragimov faced a tall rangy fighter with a good jab who was also prime, he was outboxed in every round.

    does my age change something? i've seen enough of old and mid-age fools and plenty of bright yonge people. that has to do with your brain not rings on your tree. ibragimov would have "w" with bruno, that's bottom line. i don't care that you don't like boring techs. they win. that's what counts while you have your tv off.

    :thumbsup I wouldn't begrudge anyone who preferred Tyson in that matter, since there's more than one way to dominate a fight and Tyson wasn't afraid to put all his skills on display in taking out guys early. Wlad's got more of a deliberate, demoralizing style that just breaks the will of his opponents, but he's content not using his full arsenal most of the time. That's the main difference I see between the two...Wlad's like a jungle cat that toys with his opponent before finishing them at his leisure, and Mike was like a fighting dog that'd sooner rip your throat out now than later and wanted everyone to see it. Both are intimidating fighters in their own ways.

    Of course it matters if you dont know a fighter, which you obviously dont in this case. Was Bruno a coward? You obviously only remember the chest crossing Bruno of the second Tyson fight. Was he a coward against Tyson in the first fight or against Lennox Lewis or Tim Witherspoon or Oliver Mcall? Bruno was a talented fighter who was competitive with far better fighters than Sultan was.. Sorry losing one sided to Wlad or beating an ancient Holyfield or a gasless Briggs, doesnt make Sultan worthy of carrying Bruno's jockstrap.

    I think you just might have won that argument.

    Tyson vs Jameson (Think that name is spelled correctly) Neither tyson or Jameson looked good to me in that 5 rounder, although tyson got the win. He did not look good doing it:huh

    Alot of HW's in Tyson's era were still actually in shape, that speaks for itself.
