I had a nightmare last night that I was ringside for Klitschko vs Ibragimov. Whenever I tried to get up Valuev would grab my shoulder and hold me down. Suddenly Emmanuel Steward crawls towards me like the grudge monster and says "This is exactly how I thought it would go" Needless to say, I wake up screaming.
Excellent! :hey Two things you forgot 1) Any NBA or NFL player with some training would beat him, and 2) 8 years as champ means nothing in such a weak era, he isn't even top 50 all time patschatschatsch
Wlad is so boring! He never knocks anyone out, unlike top p4p Black American fighters Mayweather, Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins :deal
Haye is an excellent businessman. When will this be released at Amazon? Should become an instant #1 bestseller
there is a difference between calling like it is and whining every other opportunity you get. If you don't like their style and don't enjoy watching their fights than just forget about them, don't visit threads about them, watch fighters you do find exiting and stop saying the same thing people have said like thousands of times before. If you are so bored with them why do you have to keep talking about them. I am not specifically talking about you but there are some people who just come to every other klitchko thread I see and say something negative about them. That is 100% irrefutable hatred either towards klitchko brothers or their fans . In both cases that is quite pathetic.
The same type of people who now love Lenox, were hating him as much as DHL. I never ever understood the hate of DHL, even if he did not win, mostly had very close fights with the very best fighters he could reach by weight. Lenox was boring, as boring as Wlad.... He didn't fit in, he spoke like he was educated, and was not an American. Both of them. It's like each hater has a who do I hate in each weight division....more than likely two. Which guy is a pure boxer...I'll hate him.......Hey did you see that big powerful sweeping hook to the gloves....wow.:rofl I can remember when Hopkins was so hated it was not funny....or Tavar or Johnson. or DM, because Jones would not fight him. No one was hated out side of Ali in the old days....well I didn't like Clay since Moore and when he showed on TV how he was going to use the new punch he had learned the twist jab to make Cooper's delicate eyes bleed. That was 'not' fair. Yep, I really wished he'd step up and fight instead of running away all the fight. There were lots of times when he could have tried KO'ing a man two rounds before he did it....nope...safty first.... Holms was disrespected because he did not unify and his Kiddy Parade. Hate must have came in with the internet, when loud mouthed fools say things they would not say in a bar......well many of the fools are not old enough to drink....or if they are, they should do that when watching a fight in a good bar. I bet they are not so loud mouthed in real life in a bar. Yep as long as the guy shows up, in shape and does his best, win, lose or draw...I'm still his fan. He show up a fat sack...I'm not. In the old days of single line of fighting contenders, many a later Champ lost to some one good....so what if he lost, it ment either of two things, the other man was better or a home town decision. Styles make the fight....some fighters can't deal with certain styles if the fella is top flight and fast. How did he do in the next fight....they did have to fight more as contenders back then, first the pay was not high, and one had to beat one's way up to knock on the Champ's door. Up to the time Lenox refused the rematch with Vitili, I thought him ok. Was not a Jones fan, was a DM fan....would have loved to see a prime to prime but the US blame DM and the Euro's blame Jones.....who had a clause in his HBO contract that they could not utter DM's name. Hopkins the Boring.....5th on the All Time Hate list. Why watch a fight with a boxer in it if you hate boxers? There must be a slugger's match to watch.
I get tire of Steward telling him to throw more punches and finish the guy, Wlad says yes then just goes into his same Jab machine mode.
How to defend a guy you hero worship, who gets due criticism. Try and claim all criticism is not based on boxing.........When it actually is Wlad's disliked, as he makes beating up grade D fighters, look pretty hard at times
All you need to do to hate Wlad, is watch about 5 of his fight. Watch him take the type of guy Riddick Bowe would hospitalize in 3 rounds, the full distance
Pacquiao and Wlad fans are the exact same people. There enjoyment from sport seems to be calling people "gay" on message boards, and mocking pictures of them on Microsoft paint. You know, is it the sport, or the tribalism you enjoy?
