Contrast Holmes' reign with Klitschko's.

I won't be bothered because It wouldn't mean s****. Wlad could've fought Holyfield in 2005-08 and It wouldn't have meant s**** in fact It'd be a disgraceful thing for a champion to do.

 

My point exactly.

 

Even a past prime ATG is better than your average Vlad EuroBum or B-level Jennings. :yep
I'm guessing that the lack of response means that unlike Vitali, Vlad has never fought an ATG or even a top tier elite, right.

'Fess up. Vlad's entire career has consisted of beating a long string of Eurobums and b-level contenders. This is why even on free TV Vlad can't manage more than 200,000 views in the US. :yep

 

No It's not. Fighting an old, washed up, damaged ATG is a disgraceful and disrespectful thing to do for a young champion.

But your using the term "Eurobum" proves YDKSAB so I won't waste my time with a troll like you anymore.

 

00 Holyfield was beaten by Chris Byrd who had been completely eviscerated by Wladimir 2 years prior and Tyson was even worse.

There were no ATGs with a heartbeat on the landscape when Wladimir hit the scene aside from Lennox Lewis who never fought him even though he was the number 1 contender for 2 years.

And using derogatory terms like eurobum doesn't help your case really... :roll:

 

Tell that to Kovalev (who did) and GiGi (who ducked).

That Kovalev faced and defeated old man Hopkins elevates him in status well over GiGi. :yep

 

'green' :roflatsch

Wlad was more seasoned going into that fight than the majority of his opponents were when they faced him.

Byrd took Wlad 12 rounds after he was demolished in only 5 by Ike Ibeauchi.

Were't you just claiming Ike was an overrated fighter from an overrated eraatsch

What does that make Wlad then? Who dragged Byrd over to Germany where he barely weighed over 200 pounds and still failed to get the stoppage?

 

You have a point, but what do you mean when you say, "Lennox Lewis who never even fought him even though he was the number 1 contender for 2 years"? Are you insinuating something?

 

Apparently it would've been better to beat a faded ATG like Holyfield himself rather than beating guys who'd defeated him.

 

Yeah , Rahman comes to mind.

 

Wlad fought an old , washed up fringe contender from the 90's era and lost in two rounds.

 

I do think Ibeabuchi is overrated and I think two fights don't exactly show the all aspects of a fighter's game. He had a great performance against Byrd and so did Wlad. But the thing is, his win over Byrd is what get people to overrate Ibeabuchi. For Wlad on the other hand, his first win over Byrd isn't even included to his reign.

 

I am insinuating that an aging Lewis wasn't too enthusiastic about fighting a boxer who at the time pretty much looked like a younger version of himself. Of course in retrospect we can say Wlad wasn't ready for that fight based on the Sanders demolition but the point still stands.

 

Each win Wlad chalks up he keeps increasing his legacy. Quite impressive for his age.

 

Age doesn't always show if a fighter is washed up or not. B-Hop was still game unlike 2005-08 Holyfield or 2003-04 and a good number of people were picking him over Kovalev. But again, your bringing up "GGG ducking LHW B-Hop" bulls**** proves yet again that you're mentally ill troll who DKSAB.
