    I actually meant Louis! Interesting that this applies either well to either men though...who do you see as Wlad's potential nemisis out of the current bunch?

    That seems to be where most Wlad nuthuggers draw there logic from, sad, but true.

    Don't you remember the thread about WALDS haircut? It was classic :rofl

    I love how in his early posts in this thread Window states that he refuses to waste his time trying to defend the indef....erm 'educate' everyone as to just how great WALD is, then posts several 2,000 word essays afterwards :lol:

    Well if the satire didn't have a grain of truth in it, no-one would recognise it for what it is, right :good

    Wlad's #1 nemisis is himself. He needs to stay focused. Sometimes heavyweight champs get a big head, and allow someone to sneak up on them.

    We saw it with Lewis, Holyfield, and Tyson. Even Ali.

    Any chance of a very quick rundown on the haicut thing? I generally steer clear of Klitchko in threads. Those boys make right thinking people so odd.

    True.

    Imagine Chagaev is as good as he appeared to be prior to his illness. What sort of chance do you think he has?

    If Chagaev goes for a knockout, he has a chance. Maybe 40/60

    If he tastes Wlad's power early, then opts to box, he has little chance.

    How true, the fact that Widdow thinks Wlad beats any ATG Heavyweigt, amazes me, how a fighter with such a glass chin and so weak mentally could be someones favorite fighter.

    I'm sad to say I can't remember the full details to be honest, but in one of the sack-swinging threads after a big WALD win (if such a thing exists) one of his fans proclaimed that he looked a lot tougher since he had his hair re-styled, something along those lines.

    Hairstyles mean a hell of a lot to Klitschko fans, some of them (including Window I think) still believe Lewis made VITLAYS cuts worse with his dreadlocks and beard :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    thanks for the great info again. i appreciate the efforts as u know i am a big louis fan. i just need to watch more of him and look for what u said especially his ability to "side in-and-out" and the use of the shoulders.

    i dont hold his late losses against charles and marciano against him. it wasn't his prime, where a fighter should be mainly judged. i think many people hold wlad's early losses against him unfairly. most great fighters experience losses at the end of their careers but lennox proved u can be destroyed and become a better fighter through hard work. hopefully, wlad will do the same

    He also still thinks that De La Hoya beat Mayweather. Delusional is his middle name.
