    Many say the best win on

    's resume is Jean-Marc Mormeck. It was one of only TWO wins in title fights she had at cruiserweight.

    But people are saying Mormeck is the weakest title defense by Wlad since he won the title from Chris Byrd in 2006.

    Wlad's weakest title opponent = the best win on

    This is dumb.

    Haye beat the reigning linear cruiserweight chamion at cruiserweight. This is at heavyweight many years after Mormecks cruiserweight peak.

    Wladimir - Mormeck is rubbish.

    - Ibragimov
    - Brock 29-0 (2000 US Olympian, had been Ring top 10 for several years))
    - Chagaev
    - 2000 Byrd

    Other good wins:

    - undefeated 2005 Peter
    - 2003 prime McCline who was on a 19 fight winning streak and had beaten several contenders

    and Wlad are a few other underrated wins

    No. It was just a little over four years ago.

    Mind you, before he fought Haye, Mormeck had already been KOed by O'Neil Bell (in 2006). And unlike Haye, Bell didn't need to resort to illegal rabbit punches to do it.

    klitland, where reigning linear cruiserweight king jean marc mormeck is exactly the same as well past it, built up cruiserweight, undeservedly fighting for the heavyweight crown jean marc mormeck.

    The Ibragimov fight damaged his reputation permanentely, that skid mark will always be there.

    Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Muhammed Ali, and any other great fighter has went the distance against far worse fighters.

    Mormeck is just a tuneup and the fight is also to promoter interest in France. Vlad will be fighting a mandatory after that.................

    No, that fight didn't damage his reputation at all, even though the haters will try to use it to discredit Wlad. Shannon Briggs hardly landed a punch on Sultan, who wasn't easy to hit after working with Jeff Mayweather.

    Did Larry Holmes, Muhammed Ali, Lennox Lewis, and Joe Louis have their reputations damaged by going the distance with some of their opponents?

    Has Floyd Mayweather's reputation been damaged by going the distance with so many of his opponents?

    Why the double standard, the harsher standard for Wlad?

    Suddenly questioning if you guys have seen that fight, its wasnt JUST a 12 round fight, im ok with 12 round fights.

    That was the first unification is a long while and a lot of people were watching, huge match in Madison Square Garden and you have guys scared to get involved. Embarrassing performance by Klitschko, he should be ashamed. Your defence is thatShannon Briggs couldnt land a glove on Iragimov so would should Klitschko? No ****, Briggs is rubbish! Lennox knocked him out in the 90s, he should not be your standard bearer!!

    Want to know why Heavyweight Championship fights are no longer world wide attractions and are on obscure cable channels? ill tell you, its because of the Klitschko brothers, most notably Wladimir Klitschko and his cowardly performance against Ibragimov.

    Sultan Ibragimov is a good name for Wlad's resume. He was a beltholder, defensively efficient. But Wlad's performance in the fight was terrible; I think it marked both of their careers.
