    The shots that peter put him down with were glancing, none were flush, thats why wlad wasnt ko`d.
    Against Sanders he went down and was given a 14 second count before the fight continuing and then going down again without another punch landing!

    All of them mean nothing then huh? :huh

    Wlad DID get his revenge vs. Brewster and the eye injury was not a factor according to Lamon himself, he quickly dispatched Austin as he should have & Brock was undefeated & in the best shape of his career when Wlad knocked him out, not the flabby slob that coasted to a loss vs. Chambers.

    You guys are too easy to shred.

    Wlad never beat a great, so until he does he will never be considered a great, simple as that.

    Do you mean a great or a great in his prime?

    I obviously would like to see him beat a great in there prime, but I would accept seeing him beat a great a little out of there prime like Lewis' did to Holyfield or Tyson did to Holmes.

    Nationalism? How many Ukrainians are there on this site, and in the boxing promotional business is there? Atleast from Klitschko's perspective?

    American nationalism, they can't stand to see the premier division ruled by Eastern Euros/Ex-Soviets.

    Rabbit punches are quite likely to occur if you turn your back on your opponent when pressured though.

    Exactly, when your hurt you cant turn your back and expect not to get hit. I remember James Toney's people telling the ref in the lockerroom to watch for punches behind the head, the ref replied by saying "You turn your back its a fair punch." I think all 3 knockdowns were fair since Wlad clinched 95 times without a warning and seemed to ask for the punches by putting his head down and turing his back when he was hurt, fair is fair.
