How good was Sultan Ibragimov

Not bad, a tad undersized for a Klit though. Alos, he got dropped against Austin.

 

A-level fighter who could have held his title for a number of years if not for Klitschko.

 

Get your pro American head out Your Azz, he beat Holyfield comfortably. Also nobody cares for your nostalgic past obsessions. Ibra would be a top contender in any era. Give me evidence he would not. Americans use to punch other Americans in the head for 12 rounds, now the rest of the world produces elite heavyweights, Americans dont dominate ****. The rest of the world simply caught up. Calling it a weak era and acting like a pretentious thuggish charlatan in the process makes you look like the typical demographic.

 

Fast hands, good combination puncher, decent punching power. Outside of the Klitschkos there weren't really too many guys who could beat him in his heyday. Think his biggest flaw was he sometimes left himself defensively open looking for the finish and sometimes lacked pacing... Then again those are the things that made him appealing.

 

Spot on :good

 

Digging up four year old treads to throw insults?

 

not much above the Fraudley Harrison of Eastern Euro.

 

Yup, Wlad ended up stinking the joint out and lost his television deal with the network for a few years as a result.

 

Not alone in that regard.

 

A level? how is winning a wbo title briefly and then not bothering to do anything again A level?
if hes A level then what are people who do MUCH better than 1 title win?

that's means nearly everyone who can win just one title shot against mediocirty is A level, be it IBO, WBU, WBO.

That said hes not mediocre C himself, hes a B, figure a B- given hes done nothing since.

 

He played pitty pat with an ancient Evander Holyfield. He was from an extremely weak Heavyweight era. No idea why Wlad treated him with kid gloves. Also he looks like Barney Rubble from the Flintstones. He took that Wlad payday and retired. Totally mediocre.

 

no, not totally mediocre, more like a euro leveller who got a lucky shot vs a shot2shyte near 40something and won in order to land a world title briefly.

B- is pretty accurate.

shame, he was B+ as an amateur, but clearly didn't follow through. But not as bad as Fraudley.

he is wlad best win by some margin.

 

I agree, talented fighter. Had he not retired after Wlad he would have been second best for a couple of years before getting his jaw shattered by Uber Povetkin or Vitali.

 

bit part one fight titlist is 2nd best to wlad....true... but damning with feint praise if there ever was

 

Hmmmm..... Only posters that are going out of their way to bash Imbragimov in this thread are Wilder fanboys and/or Klitschko haters. Wonder why?
