Wlad-Sultan was no different than Valuev-Lyakhovich

    Valuev was much more impressive than Klitschko and he didn't look scared stiff whenever Lyakovich got into punching range.

    yeah cause he looked like a drugged zombie standing in front of valuev. at last sultan showed some life and spirit. he just couldn't penetrate wlad's defense.

    If anything that would be a reason to disagree with me.

    Sultan looked pretty lifeless to me.

    but he held a 'recognised belt'. do you think danny williams, michael sprott or 'you know who' could offer more resistance?

    ddin't think so...

    agreed. he didnt look like he wanted to get hit either. this was not a vintage 'performance' but i believe as a loyal fanboy he will redeem himself. :good

    The difference is simple - something you continue to ignore.

    Valuev is derided as a circus side show.
    Wlads fans call him clearly the best heavy in the world, and talk about him beating many ATG's from history.

    When both fight to a similar level - are you surprised one guy gets more credit than the other?

    I did recognise his belt. It was the WBO belt wasn't it? What's your point?

    Sprott and Williams are terrible. Of course they wouldn't offer more resistance. Why do you even bother asking me?

    if u read my earlier reply i said that some people were saying wlad was no better than valuev, peter, chagaev, etc.... based off this performance. that's why i mentioned i thought a double standard was being used.

    as for as beating atgs, what's wrong with that. if u dont think, wlad's size, speed, athleticism, and power would trouble almost everyone especially the smaller hws, ur crazy. one lackluster yet dominant performance against a solid, awkard southpaw doesnt change that.

    Wouldn't it be great to see Valuev-Klitschko?

    Here's why Wlad beats only a few ATG Heavyweights, his chin would be more exposed than Paris Hiltons ***** at a red carpet event, theres no way in hell Wlad takes shots from guys like Tyson, Foreman, Liston, Lewis, and many others, these guys are good enough to get past Wlads chin, either with counter punching, head movement, pressure, foot work, etc... Iggy sucks, plain and simple, and didnt have the skills to make Wlad scared like these guys would.
