    And that ****in Eddie Cotton doesn't say **** about those rabbit punches, yet in the 2nd round he deducts a point from AG for giving Bowe a friendly headbutt.

    Thats freakin silly. Watch the vid in my new thread about why AG didn't finish Bowe. Golota was so nimble compared to that robot.

    A lot like Haye in a sense. They both like to set traps, except Haye's only 6'3.

    Maybe, but that was part of the problem. Bowe didn't lack anything specific in skills or ability, except for the necessary discipline and mentality which is obviously important. Bowe's definitely ranked higher as for as Heavyweights go, regardless of how you feel about him not fighting Lennox Lewis. The guy was one of the most fluid HWs, and he was legitimate 6'5 235 lb superheavyweight. Eddie Futch said he had the potential to the greatest. He squandered that. But he still beat Holyfield 2/3 times, was well-rounded, and had some of the best in-fighting skills for a big man that we've ever seen.

    Vitali has always been a counterpuncher, I think Roy Jones mentioned that in one of Vitali's fights (not sure which one it was). I think it's the prime reason he seems to be more dangerous and agressive to so many people compared to Wlad.

    Even though David Haye is a good boxer and a good puncher he never was a counterpuncher in my eyes. To me counterpunching is countering as your opponent throws, which Haye didn't do at all in the Wlad fight. I'm only mentioning this because so many people see Haye as a counterpuncher, which for me he is not.

    Not being able to counterpunch is Wladimir's biggest flaw.

    if someone like a prime Golota was around and calls Quitali out he would send his little brother Wlad ahead to get the job done and announce another fight against some Sosnowski type opponent

    I comment on his counterpunching abilities all the time. He's freakin' amazing. His abilities as a counter puncher is the main reason it shocks me that people somehow believe Wlad is the more skilled fighter. WHAT?! :nut When the **** has anyone ever seen Wlad counter the **** out of opponents round after round the way Vitali does? Never!

    Aye, many people dont see this, because even though he is a skilled counterpuncher he still stays active and is not only waiting. This is also why many of his opponents gets hopeless after about the 4th - 5th round. Only then they realise that they are paying for everything they do and even then it is hard to tag Vitaly.

    True :good

    If you counterpunch you have to be able to deal with the heat and Wlad prefers to play it safe and rather bombard with his cannons. Why does he need to risk it anyway? He knows the power in his fists and for his style he needs to dictate the fight.

    The figher who is able to dictate the fight vs Wlad will most likely beat him (very difficult due to Wlads jab). Wlad prefers the comfort zone, whereas Vitaly loves playing on the edge.

    Wlad is beatable with the right style and mentality, I dont see anyone beating Vitaly though.

    That's almost an insult towards Vitali, Haye is at least one league below him.
