Do you realize if Wlad beats Thompson and Povetkin this year...

Sorry but the only two words that come immediately to mind are...

BIG WHOOP

Let him beat Chagaev, Peter and Haye in the same year and then come talk to me. Until he has the rematch with Peter, all of these other nothing fights mean just that, nada.

 

Those are three very good wins (Sultan, Thompson, and Povetkin). Fact is that Wlad is running out of opponents. He already beat Peter. This Haye talk is crap, he doesn't deserve Wlad yet. Chagaev is good, but I don't think he beats Wlad.

He should roll Thompson, but not so sure about Povetkin. Let him win, then we can talk again.

 

Wlad continues to fight the best out there intermingled with a few mandatory opponents

let him beat Chagaev Peter and Haye in the same year?

come on assuming that those three fights can be made and won in one year all you'll say afterwards is that Chagaev was overrated, peter barely got by McCline so wlad should have won easier, and Haye wasn't even a real heavyweight

he can't win no matter what for some people

 

It's almost hilarious how Wlad gets so little respect......:roll:

 

I also go more by fightnews than anyone else:hi:

 

They are the best available opponents and they are mandatory defenses.

 

Yeah, I think those would be three nice wins in 08, Ibragimov, Thompson and Povetkin. Like someone said, Wlad has already beaten Peter. He'd probably beat Chagaev likewise. Chagaev has the rematch with Valuev to come. I want to see Wlad in 09 with the likes of the Hayemaker now!

 

Well, THAT version of Krasniqi would be an easy fight for every TOP30 boxer. But he also beat Guinn and T. Ibragimov. No world class fighters either but having beaten those three guys he certainly deserves a fight against Wlad.

 

Haye has still to prove that he's a top10 heavyweight.

 

Wlad beats Povetkin then thats the 5th undefeated fighter in his last 10 fights.

Brock
Castillo
Ibragimov
Peter

 

If the guy had more heart he'd get respect.

 

Pretty much every opponent a Title Holder fights in every weight division will be from the boxrec top-10 in their division. It's rare that they aren't, and if they are it's usually only because the opponent is stepping up a division.

This boxrec ranking of the opponent is no big deal really. I mean, Ruiz is #7 FFS! Maskaev & Brewster are just outside the top-10... are they still even active fighters?? :verysad


The fact that he's fighting 3 times in a year is the impressive part. I give him massive respect for that alone.
