If Sultan opts to go to war early, can Klitschko vs Ibragimov be a Hagler vs Hearns?

    He was down twice against Ahunanya, but both were ruled slips and rightfully so, in my opinion. Even if they were knockdowns, he was right up and showed no signs of being out of it.

    Austin did knock him down legitimately, though. He wasn't really hurt there either. And he took some big shots from Briggs who can hit like a truck.

    I think there's a good chance Ibragimov goes the distance. His chin seems to be pretty good and he fought very passively since he hooked up with Jeff Mayweather. A bit too passively against Holyfield for my liking, he went for a safe win instead of a spectacular KO that would raise his stock and paydays.

    I think he'll be on the backfoot most of the time while Wlad tries to jab him. It's going to be interesting to see how well Wlad's jab will work against an explosive southpaw with good footwork.

    No, Wlads chin is complete glass and Iggys isn't exactly granite either, neither one has the ability to take big shots and keep fighting, the fight would be over within the first two rounds if both men came forward and started going to war.

    Yeah he could not ko oldman Holyfield or Slowfatass Austin. Wlad koed austin in the 2nd round. Who has sultan koed that is even in the top 20?

    Peters jaw is glass also and he cant box. Wlad koed McCline in the tenth and boxed his ears off. McCline dropped scam peter 3 times and his legs were completely gone. The fight should have been stopped. McCline got robbed and everyone who saw the fight knows that.

    Just like Peter dropped Wlad 3 times and didnt get the decision, right? Get real, Peter came back to outbox Mccline to the decision, 9 out of 10 posters would agree with me, even Wlad fans like Kobe is God admit Peter won that fight. Thats not compare chins between Wlad and Peter, because we both know who will lose. Peters been down 3 times and never been knocked out, Wlad has been down 11 times by 6 different oppenents, and has been knocked out 3 times by two journeymen and a club fighter, who has the glass chin again?:D

    Wlad has never been knocked out. He has always gotten up. Never been knocked out. Peter can't box at all, they were saying he was the next tyson. Also two of the knock downs were ilegal shots on the back of the head and neck. Plus Wlad won every round except the wons he was knocked down by ilegal blows. I can't wait till they fight again and Wlad beats him even easier.

    Wlad had to cheat to stay up against Peter, he was holding him like a *****, so Peter pushed him off and punched him down to the ground. Wlad turned his back and put his head down, any good ref could see that, if anything Wlad should of been giving a standing 8, because when another fight turns his back to his oppenent it usually means he's so hurt he cant continue.

    Like I said illegal blows just like lampley foreman said. Wlad has never been koed. Always gets up. I'm just remembering how he hit goatboy with that left hook that made peter do the chicken dance in the final round. Wlad won the at fight fair and sqaure sealing the deal in the final round by hurting peter badly with the left hook.

    It was a close fight that Wlad was able to win in the end, Peter was the last fighter to floor Wlad and hurt him in a fight, thats part of the reason he's rings number 2 Heavyweight at the moment.
