    Let's just say he was thought of as one of the best offensive fighters at one time. :lol:

    It's hyperbole, yes. The point I was trying to make is just that Pinky was as good as Vlad, with more skills. Pinky was probably the best of the 80's lot, which might not be saying much, but he beat an in-shape Tim Witherspoon, which was not easy. Pinky had quick hands and a great jab. He was slow of foot, but I think he had enough to take The Klit.

    During the early 2000's, Wlad was one of the best offensive fighters ever. He became a lot more cautious and safety-first after the Brewster loss under guidance of Emmanuel Steward. I have to disagree that Thomas had more skills than Wlad, though. I've never seen him hook off the jab as fluently or throw a score a knockout with a quin triple left hook.

    Well, I'll say this ,in my experience quick hands allways work well on a Klit.

    Easy fight. Wlad TKO 7.

    Pink leaves his guard down and stands right in front of you.

    Throws one punch at a time.

    Suicide against Wlad.

    The best Thomas against the best wlad is a competitive fight . Thomas's jab was an excellent weapon but so is wlad's . Wlad has the better defence and this fight could well go the distance , 8-4 to wlad
