    Is it just me or does anyone else appreciate Toopetty's judicious use of visual aids to assist in his "intellectual" arguments?

    He does in europe mate. Let Wlad worry about his own financial affairs. Boxing doesn't end where the USA's borders do. Plus Wlad has years ahead of him if he becomes undisputed and some decent challengers come along he'll make big numbers. The guys you named had decent rivals to fight and generate interest.

    It aint about finances it is about fame and glory. You ask the average person who the heavyweight champ is and THEY WOULD NOT KNOW. Heavyweight boxing is dead and it only gets a spark when a fighter with alot of charisma comes along. Whether it be being a boisterous type or being just the likable good guy type(Leonard)

    Boxing full stop isn't mainstream. That's not Wlads fault ask your average man on the street who's the middle/welter/lightheavy/featherweight/any weight you like champ and they won't know.

    No average person here would know who the light heavyweight champ is...or middle...or welter...etc. They'd know Calzaghe and Hatton, that's it.

    Too many people are pessimistic about boxing. Every day, we hear about how it's on it's last legs. But it's simply not the case. It's just that boxing can very rarely be mainstream. Most of the times, it's barely worth a 50 word column in a tabloid paper.

    This is not Wlad's fault. Or FMJ. Or any other boxer you'd care to mention. The entire system is flawed. All mainstream sports have one thing in common.

    They will take place no matter what. Boxing dosen't have that luxury as it could be down to one man selling an entire card and that said fighter could get injured. The fight is called off and the public is pissed off. That dosen't happen in other sports. If Federer got injured during Wimbledon, it still would of continued on. If Hamilton got injured, the F1 would of continued.

    On top of that, these sports and indiviuals display their talent on a very regualar basis. Where as in boxing, we might get to see our favourite fighter fight 1-2 a year.

    However my whole point is that boxing will continue just like it always has and sooner or later we'll get another superstar who captures the joe publics imagination for a while. Then he'll lose or retire and boxing will again be on "it's last legs".

    Why should Wlad bend? If fighting tall works for him, why change that? Nobody except Valuev can reach him when he fights tall. So what's the big deal? I think Wlads style is perfect for him. It works and gets the job done. Nuff said.

    Of course you dont know the little guys. But the Heavyweight champ is supposed to be the creme of the crop. The stand out guy. Boxings ICON for the world. Period. That has always been the case. Let me rephrase my case. Ask the average person on the street who Wladimer is. They would not know. Period. Unless you are eastern European. Like I said, the fact that he dont eve fight on PPV is SAD.

    He cant bend. Thats when somebody gets in range he gets knocked out. Period. It aint that he dont. He cant, he has no agility and is a fighting statue that just moves his feet a little.. And I mean a little. And to those who say he has good footwork and is quick............................................................................. No comment. And as I said before he is a head hunter.
