I think most people on this forum is under the impression that Wlad is still the vulnerable and unconfident fighter he once was...we haven't seen that guy since the Sam Peter fight.

Wlad is a different fighter now and will destroy anyone in the Heavyweight division. it is no contest.

 

He is an improved fighter especially since the Peter fight but he is still vulnerable. Vitali is not vulnerable to anyone.

I still say Wlad will lose and it will be to someone none of us Boxing fans see happening. I am talking about an Arreola or Dimentriko.

 

I'd love to see Wlad decapitated by Arreola and Vitali lose a close points decision to Chagaev.

 

Brewster was so rusty in that fight it wasnt even funny, thats see, he fought Liakhovich in April of 06, and then fought Wlad in July of 07, thats 15 months inactive. He might of lunged in a few times, but I dont remember him going into a full on attack on Wlad, and get rough with Wlad, like Peter was able to do.

Wlad just dont fight anyone dangerous anymore, since Peter, he's fought Bryd (Extremely light punching), Brock (Decent puncher, but nothing special), Austin (A joke of an oppenent), Brewster (Had nothing in the tank that night), Iggy (fought scared, threw one punch at a time), Thompson (Far from a dangerous puncher) Rahman (Washed up completely). Haye would be his toughest since Peter, I truly believe that, based on their styles.

 

you're absolutely right about that fight...Brewster hasn't been the same since the terrible beating he received at the hands of Sergei Liakovich. That fight was a beautiful and brutal fight to watch.

As die hard boxing fans, we love to see fights like that, but it's a catch 22 in the heavyweight division.

These current heavyweights are much bigger and stronger than any other era in boxing.

Gatti/Ward at the heavyweight level is just not realistic any longer. We all see what happens to the heavyweight fighter now after a brawl like that.

Look at the direction of the careers of poor Lamon and Sergei...neither fighter will ever be the same.

 

This sounds like a post made about the Iggy fight before that fight actually happened. Most thought that iggy would be his toughest opponent to date, including myself. like Tyson always said,"you have a fight plan until you get hit."

I think this is the case with all of Wlad's opponents. His opponents go into the fight believing the herd mentality that Wlad is a scared fighter with no chin, and end up on the wrong side of a methodical beat-down.

The Haye fight would be the exact same result. No doubt about it.

This version of Wlad Klitshcko would give anyone a tough fight.

 

Brewster could have been cleared to fight in the States if he wanted to. However, that fight made MUCH more sense in Germany so they didn't need to bother getting him cleared by passing his physical. He was already cleared by Doctors in the US as well as during his medical tests in Germany. It isn't like he had bleeding on the brain or something. It was a surgically repaired eye, that had healed 100%. What's the big deal?

Brewster has fought in the States since his loss to Wlad. Did Wlad knock his eye back into good shape or something? That just goes to show that his eye was fine before and after the Wlad fight.

 

Brewster had a Blood-Eye in that fight. Dont stare into dat eye, o' sump'n bad happen t' yo ass.

 

I never said Wlad was a walk in the park by any means, but if you got a chin and power, and your willing to go to war, you certainly have a chance beating him. Other than Haye, I really dont see any Heavyweight out there with enough balls to go at Wlad and make it a fight. I just hope this fight gets made, and we are all treated to a long awaited good Heavyweight fight.

 

Any fighter in the heavyweight division has a punchers chance, especially the two you mentioned, and every fighter is vulnerable including big brother.

You're right...it will probably come at a time when you least expect it.

Boxing is the theater of the unexpected, which is why we love the sport so much.

 

Brewster has fought in the United States last year.

You are saying that Brewster wasn't cleared by the doctor who performed the surgery on his eye, and didn't pass his pre-fight medical exams in Germany? Lamon's doctor had came out publically stating that Brewster's surgery went extremely well, and that his eye was healed 100%. He said that Lamon would be in no more danger to injure his eye again than any other boxer.

 

Lamont "Sanford" Brewster was cockeyed in that fight. Hid eye went every which-a-way. He'd say "man, pick dat up" and fo'-five members of his team bent down to pick up towels and **** at his training camp.

 

Poor Lamon is finished as a contending prize fighter. I think we all can agree on that.

And you're right...he does resemble Fred G. Sanford in the ring.
