Vitaly Klitschko is far better. WK may be KO'ed again by someone with a little bit of ambition, speed, and power. Heavyweight is poor at the moment, he's probably top of a bad bunch. Ask anyone in the highstreet who is the heavyweight champ? They probably won't be able to tell you! :rofl
I'd obviously like to see him fight another titleholder, but that is not a possiblity, it seems. So rematching Sanders would be a good move, seeing as how the crop of available fighters is rather limited. I don't think rematching Peter is as high of a priority as some of the rest of you do. Wlad would probably beat him even more decisively this time. Peter has been beaten well enough to not see the need to fight him again, at least not til Peter has beaten some other good names, first.
He is modest, hardworking, decent and doesn't give up. Still trying to acheive his goals. No-one can take those things away. He has also made some good decisions (ie going to Kronk). If he works hard enough can be a hall of famer. Maybe the defeats were a blessing in disguise? I would really like him to fight Sanders again to see how he copes.
I cannot stand the name "Dr. Steelhammer" ... that's just soooo gay. How about Dr. Dick? Two weeknesses... 1. Questionable chin 2. Cannot handle hard pressure Seriously, Wlad is one of the top 3 best heavies out there. I believe that his brother Vitaly is also up there. I'd like to see him eventually fight Golota. P.S. I don't care for the "BOSS" outfit either. It's too flamboyant and it's not a name for the sport of boxing. What's next, Prada?
You lost all credibility when you said Wlad is "easily beatable" Yeah.. he's easily beatable if you KNOCK HIM OUT.. but thats the same for anyone.
He seems like a nce man. I've only read a couple of his interviews and he always came across polite and well spoken. Unfortunately that dosen't seem to go down too well in the states. Popularity does hels fighters get into IBHOF. I still think he can dominate the division for several years to come though. Peter has good chance of beating him. More so than most. What could really count against Wlad in the end though, is if for a few years, he is a Heavyweight champion along with his brother. That would ruin both of them when it comes to the ATG list.
Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Joe Louis, Lennox Lewis??? 4 names right offthe bat that would box Wlads head off.
are you sure about this ? Some of those guys got outboxed by KEN NORTONS and CARL WILLIAMS and FRANK BRUNOS and one even got the **** kicked out of him for 13 rounds by a 168 pounder called CON !
Wlad is good but has not attempted to become un-disputed champion. He has no intention of unifying anything and will continue to steam roll washed up guys like Brewster, Holyfield, hell even Calvin Brock was a joke. The only half way decent fight he took more recently was with Peter. I would like to see him put his belt up for grabs against the Chagaev/Ibragimov winner. **** the mandatories, who cares how many belts get dropped it would be a true champion. I think we can all agree the WBC belt is about as legitamte and meaningful as the NABO title these days.
Question - What other fighter has made Brock look like a joke? Answer - None. :deal Same ol' posters with the same ol' hate factor. Sad really...........:-( BTW, you didn't answer the thread starters questions bonehead I'm just trying to help here....................
It's amazing how KObyBriggs can give so much credit to a steriod ridden, no stamina, 3 punches a round fighter like Briggs and give absolutely no credit to the current best HW. Don't try to save him, he's lost in space.
I dont really think I had any hate in that...... I am being honest Brock is not that good, other than that I am saying Wlad needs to make unification happen even if it means belts must be dropped. Atleast then we would really have a champion. He is looking at some awful opponents right now.... Holyfield Sanders...... What year is this???? This is not hate, he needs to face someone good Tony Thompson, Sergei Liakovich, Valuev, Briggs( I would still like to see it) He should face a fighter who is either a contender, or recently held a belt if he cannot face another belt holder. Wlad is the best right now but he does not take the fights that would prove the most. Beating up old man Sanders would show what at this point? Why doesnt he just challange Ross Purrity instead its no different......
Give me a break I am not saying he is so bad , just seems like he is looking for the easy route on his next fight.
