There is also a fair # of Klitschko haters..so yeah, the numbers do mean something pal. Yeah, if Peter lands the money punch and KO's Klitschko straight..he wins..but I am so sick of people saying that. Klitschko EASILY defeated Peter..it's ridiculous. 2 rabbit punch KD's and 1 legit KD (I think in the 10th) and Peter still lost 114-111. Wlad easily ********* Sam other than those 3 knockdowns, and I hear all this crap about how Sam has improved..ye alright, James Toney and Wladimir Klitschko..kinda different fighters. Klitschko by a ridicuousily easy decision.
What would Wlad have to fear with Toney? Wlad would jab the living **** out of little James who wouldn't be able to get inside or land his counter rights after the shoulder roll. If any matchup is a nightmare for James, its Wlad.
I'd love to see Peter avenge the first loss but it isn't likely in my opinion. Klitschko has improved A LOT since the first fight and is still improving, expect Klitschko to stop Peter this time or win another decision(if Peter is still able to take the same bombs again).
i think the klitschko haters are more delusional than the klitscko fans. already seen two perfect examples in this thread. wlad will DUCK peter? the same peter he outclassed aside from one legit knock down round? and even MORE comical. wlad ducked toney? toney ko'ed holyfield who is DONE as a real threat in the division. aside from that toney cannot hurt ANYONE. wladimir is chris byrd's worst nightmare. and the reason mainly is because chris has pitty patter power. toney's power is EVEN LESS than chris byrd. and his reach and height EVEN LESS than byrd's... my god. it would be the first fight toney loses by ko. wladimir goes to town on guys when he doesn't have to worry about power shots in return. wlad believe it or not has excellent stamina compared to the obese old roided middleweight. toney will duck a few shots until wladimr figures him out. which wont take long due to all the physical advantages he will have. then i envision he will throw lots of jabs until toney slows down and ko's him with a couple left hooks. toney will try his darnest to avoid the right hand only to get laid the **** out by the hook. toney was hurt by peter who only landed a few times. wladimir will land FAAAAAR more often and wont tire like peter. ko by wladimir in any round after the 1st. :deal
Wlad has proven that he is willing to take on anyone, punchers (Brewster, Peter, Sanders), slick boxers (Byrd), prospects (Brock) and mandatories (Austin) and tough veterans (Botha, Mercer). What more can you ask? To claim that Wlad is ducking people is plain stupid. Toney and Holyfield would be shredded to pieces against Wlad. And no one wants to se that happening.
I think Wlad will move and jab for about first 5 to 6 rounds, using Peter's head as a puncing bag. I think Peter has even less chance to land on Wlad with his new found 'skills', he will resort to throwing wild punches after 2 rounds, hoping to KO Wlad, but will fail. Then Wlad will start unloading some 1-2 combinations on Peter, hurting him severely. Peter may last 12 rounds though, due to his incredibly strong punch resistance. I think WLAD will win every round, 10 at least. To me there is no doubt that Wlad will get KO'd at some point, just not by a boxer with such crude boxing skills as Peter.
Peter can learn a ton from the first fight, and in the rematch I think that he will finish Wlad. It seemed that Peter hurt Wlad with every shot that he landed flush and was reduced to throwing one shot at a time. In a rematch I see peter putting a couple together and Wlad will be left watching the lights.
I actually hope that Wladimir fights Toney, So Wlad can beat the utter **** out of the obese tub of lard. Onto the Wlad-Peter fight. Wlad wins by a WIDE UD One, of the largest most naturally talented heavyweights ever, against a lumbering slow, and sloppy punching fighter, not to mention a fighter Wlad's already beaten...hmm.....lets think about this! Wlad brutally destroys Peter and busting him up. Only Peters iron chin would save him from a humiliating KO. It would be Lacy/Calzaghe one-sidedness.
I never got the whole hype after the second Toney fight Peter still looked shite skill wise and Wlad has only gotten better, and would probably still hug just as much.
