Nonsense. Mayweather is quite well known by even occasional boxing fans here in the UK. Sure, he's more appreciated by people close to boxing, but most people who have ANY awareness of the sport in the UK know VERY well who Floyd is. And as tonight's sad performance showed, there is a reason that US networks don't want to show Wlad in "action".
It had something to do with it. Mostly though, it was because Povetkin wasn't good enough. I don't doubt Wlad's boxing ability, but his excessive holding is obvious and undeniable, and imo, it makes him unbearable to watch against certain styles like we saw today. And Wlad more versatile? atsch I didn't know exclusively throwing a jab followed by occasional straight rights equaled versatility. He's basically a highly skilled robot.
That was a very shitty performance from wlad. Boring, ugly mma match ,but after floyds gay performance against canelo and him not even trying to go for a KO , I'll never buy his fights again, mayweather don't do all wrestling and other mma **** like Wlad did today, but for me his ud's are boring enough to put his ass in the same boredom with Wlad, hopkins, ward.
Difference between Floyd and Wlad? Floyd rips off his fans for $79 for a crap performance. Wlad's crap performance is free of charge.
Quarry would be in jail for killing Povodkin. He was better than Lamon Brewster and Ross Purrity...that's for damn sure. Quarry beat Ron Lyle and Earnie Shavers....just the sound of those two names puts Vlad in a coma:rofl:rofl:rofl
Yes KO's are entertaining, but not if they're a result of a 1-2 and push down, like the way bitchko did tonight. Or the way he hung over povetkin and tried to uppercut him at the same time. The only skill the vlad has got is holding.
Floyd is make record breaking purses and is seen as the best in the sport. Vlad ' Dr Velcro Hammer' Klinchko makes what Floyd's opponents make.
wait so your telling me that you only need holding to be HW champ.... damm maybe Tony T., Valuev and guys bigger then wlad should adapt this style, their be undefeated it has nothing to do with wlad being really good (sarcasm)
no he's actually not.... he's more skilled... but that's because he's 5f7 and wlad is 6f6....... but he is no where near "more entertaining" then wlad
