It's really sad to hate someone so passionately. I like boxers more than dislike. I don't care for some, but even then it's not intense. I guess my least favorite atg is Holyfield. I consider him a head butting drug cheat who gets massively overrated because he was absurdly favored by judges and refs, beat a past prime Tyson and avenged a few defeats that if he was really that good, he never would have lost in the first place. But I still credit him as an atg, even if I have him lower than others. People like Dino have such an irrational hatred, though, they won't give the devil their due.
Nobody forgets it because its a fabrication of the truth. You and Dodd and other K2 fanboi's created the narrative that Byrd was beating Ike before he got sparked because you just can't accept the fact he beat Byrd quicker and easier than both brothers. HBO gave Byrd the first round which means absolutely nothing. They gave Ike all the rest as any rational observer would. Ike white washed that guy. 5 rounds. Done and dusted. Putting both brothers performances to shame.
He put Byrd into survival mode . He looked like a fish out of water in there. He got schooled , demolished , out boxed , out fought , out everything. And the irony of that comment. Thats basically how Wlad won all of his fights
Yep! Byrd schooled prime Tua and beat Holyfield pretty comfortably also, just to name a couple. Byrd was a heavyweight that was avoided by many because he did have skills that could make many heavies look dumb.
I suspect you have invested a lot emotionally in Wladimir down the years. The bitterness is palpable..
It's WEIRD isn't it??!! LOL I enjoy seeing little Klitschko haters trying to argue against facts and the best they can come up with is "B..B.. But CORRIE SANDERS AND LAMON BREWSTER!!!!" Lol 18 straight title defenses, 23 in total, Olympic Gold... and the basement Klitschko bashers wanna call him "Sorry" or "Not among the greats" PATHETIC!!! Lol
I just take fighters as is ,hard to say who wasnt using peds or not ,Lewis defeating a obvious ped Holyfield upped his status for me i also think Tyson fought the strongest Holyfield anyone saw,Tyson was not going to win unless it takes place in 80's / early 90's . Holyfield also switched trainers alot ,ironically he went bankrupt but refused to pay out money for good use when he didnt want to shell out a extra 100,000 to retain Manny Steward after he defeated Bowe. All in all Holyfield is the most balanced fighter ive seen at least top 3 for me ,i have him around 9 i think head to head. Well all forums have there class clowns ,Dino certainly fits the bill of top dog in that category .
Watch this gif that illustrates the speed, power and accuracy of a young Klitschko: [url]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kIORvz2wmeA/VT_Ns3t5K3I/AAAAAAAABI0/431Pa5yn8tI/s1600/BGBSHUFFORD1.gif[/url] Outstanding right hand.

Please, Wlad was near 40 vs Fury. What heavyweight at 40 would have beaten that version of Fury? Please do not say Foreman. Wlad switched his style up a bit with Steward to limit the other fighters offense, however, once they got hit, his opponents didn't want to press it.
