    Don't take it out on me because you wrongfully assumed that Iggy had a better chin than Chag.
    I have no quarrel with you. Take issue with the post , not the poster.

    What were some of their best pro performances? (I'm looking for some fights to watch)

    Short interview with laconic Ibragimov.

    I'd imagine its because you can't through a day with out turning a thread into to a anti Wlad discussion..

    You don't think he was any good we get it...

    :lol:

    Isn't it the truth! If Dino comments on a fighter he first has to go through this checklist:

    1) Did he fight Wlad? Y = He was a bum N = check 2
    2) Did he lose to somebody Wlad beat? Y = He was a bum N = check 3
    3) Did he beat somebody that beat Wlad? Y = What a great fighter, a true hero! N = neutral assessment, proceed

    This checklist frazzled the first time Vitali came up but Dino finessed the problem by lumping Vits in with Wlad.

    I don't see why they called him The White Tyson. He didn't really fight like Tyson. High pitched voice and bull neck maybe?

    Would have been an interesting fight. I don't think you can take their effort against Wlad as an indicator for a fight against each other. they approach Klitchko very differently thus the fights were very different. A fight between them would be close to 50/50. I think Chagaev being the general more aggressive and busy man might have won him that. But then I always liked Chagaev better than Ibragimov.

    Good match up vs two very good amateurs that had solid pro careers.
    Ibrigamov defeated a faded Holyfield and the overrated Briggs before putting in a poor performance vs Wlad. He was quick fighter and mobile.
    Chagaev was not the same as he was as an amateur he seemed to get hurt as a pro and lost some of his explosiveness still he had solid career, defeating Valuev pretty clearly which most others couldn't do, defeating Ruiz and even when way past it Oquendo who was Also way past It, and was beating Lucas Browne until the 10th round in a fight Browne tested positive for steroids.
    If healthy I think Chagaev would win but Ibrigamov was always sold a little short an upset would not surprise me.

    There's a poster on here that can't go a day without posting something to or about me. Don't you think thats like 100x more sad and pathetic than somebody posting about a 10 year reigning HW Champion?

    Nobody was able to answer Kevin's question it seems.. No surprise there since Iggy never produced a good performance in his life.
    Have a look at his fight vs Briggs. . Tell me if you made it to the end...lol

    Only when you post moronic posts. When you post normal, grounded-in-reality posts that aren't drooling with venom, lies and pathological hatred for the Klitschkos and whatever your cause du jour is ... I leave you alone.

    So much for being on ignore, eh? :lol:

    He reminded me more of Jerry Quarry than Tyson.
