Feel free to answer what Tua has accomplished and why he should be ranked higher than Brew or Peter....................
Why you don't just have done with it and put a Klitschko in your Avatar is beyond me... everyone on this forum knows you've got a mad man crush on Wlad
Samuel Peter outboxed Toney arguably TWICE. Who has Tua outboxed? Besides the Ruiz win of course..................and the close LOSS to Ike.
Bruno would actually give Wlad a lot of trouble. He has a longer reach and a very good jab of his own, can punch and has enough size and strength not be pushed around by Wlad. I'm not saying he would win, but it would not be easy at all for Wlad.
Well if that's all you've got I consider you capitulated. Thanks for playing though, this is fun. Schooling the masses......................one douchebag at a time. :thumbsup Carry on, they're probably looking for you in the Lounge somewhere.
The Tua who fought Lewis was garbage, grossly overweight with a brilliant strategy that consisted of hoping and preying that Lennox would somehow give him a free shot at his chin..that moment never came. Wlad would probably win the same way Lewis did. A young Wlad would probably be upset by a fighter like McCall or fat Mercer, and he'd hook up with Steward blah blah. An inspired old Evander might make things interesting but a matured Wlad would give him even less opportunties than Lewis to trade. I don't think their resumes would be radically different if they switched. Well, maybe an old Wlad would lose to a young Vitali...god that is ****ing weird. Yeah, young Lewis would probably beat Puritty but he'd walk into a punch at somepoint and have to learn to better himself...Sanders maybe? He might slack off on a title defense too and get stretched.
NO fight is easy. :nono That's a given, but to call Wlad vs. Bruno a 50/50 fight is beyond ridiculous..................
Holding a belt by beating tomato cans doesn't make you a good fighter... Tua fougth and beat better opposition and to anyone with a pair of eyes can tell you Tua was a better fighter than Peter and Brewster. I can't believe you are trying to say Brewster and Peter are better fighters than Tua because they held world titles :rofl that has got to be Klit fan 'Quote of the week'
Why? Bruno was a better fighter than any previous Wlad opponent and he already has three losses and a few dodgy wins. Bruno was a guy who could knock Wlad out with one shot and arguably had a better jab. Not a easy fight to pick at all. Two poor chins, two hard hitters, two solid technicians - Tough fight.
Talking about the 2002 version of Mercer Wladimir annihilated or the version Lewis fought? Lewis made the fight unnecessarily close because he was jabbing with Mercer. Mercer would have little chance winning a jab contest against Wlad, though. Wlad is a horrendous match up for Mercer. 1. When have you seen Wlad knocked out cold? Right, never. 2. No, Bruno does not have a better jab.
Fair enough, this is an honest post. :good I still think Wladimir has little trouble with any version of Mercer. Holyfield is a real challenge for anyone because he adjusts so well.
Fat Toney who never did anything at the weight :rofl Tua KO'd a prime unbeaten Rahman, stopped Moorer, had a hell of a scrap with Ibeabuchi that was a close fight, stopped a prime Ruiz in 19 seconds... but no that doesn't match beating a completely out of shape Middleweight who never did anything at the weight.... go back to licking your poster :good
Good calls. The only opponents of Lewis that I would confidently pick to beat Wlad are Vitaly, Mercer and Holyfield. They would have the right styles to beat Wlad: Vitaly and Mercer with pressure, and Holyfield would steal the fight from him.
Oh come on now, a natural heavyweight in his 20's just about beat a obese 40 year old former middleweight.
C'mon, if Bruno's chin was in the same league as Wlad's he wouldn't have had so much trouble against a much shorter fighter like Tyson. His jab didn't work that well against Lewis either. That's not to say Bruno's jab was ****, but Wlad's is more on par with Lewis & even Holmes.
