This Wlad never existed. The best Wlad ever , as you say, in 2007 looked terrible against Calvin Brock and was knackered , pale , cut with mouth wide open by the 6th round. That was against a very basic , small and soft punching HW who lost to Eddie Chamers soon after. Against Brock , it was Brock bouncing all over the ring while Wlad could do nothing but clinch and hold. Where was Wlad bouncing all over the ring against the snail moving Sam Peter? You say one thing happened in fantasy land . The film shows what really happened. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/09/steward-was-telling-wladimir-to-stop-clinching-peter/
Dino the Bet Wlecher that was once a man, you are going to have try harder. These past two attempts it looks like you are just deliberately misreading posts and responding in kind for attention.
I made an error , i now corrected. You made a fanboi post full of fantasy. When will you stop being a fanboi.
This 2007-2012 time frame is a conveniently made-up excuse by somebody who doesn't want to accept that Wlad lost and had major struggles to bums in the prime of his career. Its a made up theory that holds no ground.
Mongoose didn't make this claim. Someone else did. Though I agree with many who say that his skills and abilities improved since some of his earlier defeats, particularly those to Sanders and Purity. I'm not as convinced about the Brewster loss or the struggles to Williamson and Peter.
Your new gimmick isn't going over too well in this thread, duck man. Everybody seems to see that you are deliberately misreading my posts.
I think Norton would beat Brewster. Brewster had power, but not the type of devastating power that was Norton's kryptonite. I think Ken would outwork a lazy, semi in shape Brewster. Ken had enough power to earn his respect and keep him from rushing in.
Who ever stopped Brewster from rushing in? You could knock his head clean off and he wouldn't stop coming forward.
Brewster did pretty good in those first two rounds, he was moving well and got some good body punches in on Wlad. But Wlad never took the bait in the rematch and stuck to his game plan of jabbing him to death.
Wladimir, has learned from his younger days for sure. Emanuel Steward, recognized his strengths and vulnerabilities. Convinced Wlad to adopt a style of fighting that maximized his physical talents, and used those same physical talents to hide his weaknesses. He's damn near unbeatable in today's heavyweight landscape.
