Wlad is the real hw champion and the ibf doesnt mean anything to me he's got the ring mag title and thats good enought
Agreed. But I don't really rate any of the fighters you mentioned either. Not calling them bums, because they're all talented - Just not 'champion' material in my eyes. (For whatever reason). If Wlad really cares about his legacy, he should be doing whatever it takes to fight the highly rated guys. As I've said before, out of the new generation, at least 2 of them should achieve something of note - And they're the ones that will dictate Wlad's legacy. Realist: Don't fight the likes of Jean Marc Mormeck when you know you have a mandatory against Thompson coming up next. Realist: It's a career high payday that is still below the amount most challengers make from Heavyweight Title fights. Not including the 3 fight re-match clauses - Does the re-matches offer the same payday with 'challenger' money, or 'Champion' Money? Maybe this is why some fighters feel it is better to wait for a Mandatory shot. But maybe some of them just don't want to fight him either? But ALL of them? I think not. No need to have a pure binary chain of thought dude. Watch the fight I posted - And then comment.
Wlad was 22, an it was his 13th fight in a years time, an his second fight in less then a month, he beat purrity every round but two, purity took a beating for the first 8 rounds, ninth round the steelhammer slowed an the next two the steelhammer was gassed....Less then two years later he won the WBO belt, being his first reign as champion, .. an ali's second fight with liston, liston layed down instead of fighting ali, not out of fear of ali, but of the muslims,
When Wlad got beat by Purrity he had only been past the 6th round once? He had never seen the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th rounds before.
Hahaha... Liston wasn't afraid of racist white police officers and mafia tough guys....but those black muslims..those black muslims wore bow-ties and meant business! They were going to get him with their delicious bean-pies! That anchor punch on Listons left temple probably had alot to do with it too.
And your a genorous Wlad cocksucker. I dont need to read the articles *****, me, my brothers and friends watched that snooze fest and that pathetic pawing live. My brothers friend even fell asleep! Ibragimov is to blame of course, but Wlad was pathetic in that fight and the only reason someone would remember that fight fondly is if they were struggling with insomnia
I like watching them on tv because their boxers who fight like their playing chess, hell if i pay thousands to watch a fight it wont be a hw fight right now i can tell you that
