You should read my poem. Your attempt at poetic writing annoys me and if it annoys me it annoys Wlad.
Who Purrity and Sanders? Then Wlad also beat Byrd who beat Vitali. Plus Byrd is the better victory than either of the above two.
Because you disagree with me I'm now a Troll? :/ Tua would work the body and eventually wear Wlad down. That's not a troll attempt. I think that would happen. Prime Ike, who beat Byrd & Tua was unproven? You call me a Troll? Golota would rough-house Wlad on the inside. We all know Wlad hates it on the inside because his inside game consists of hugging. Morrison, Rahmen and Mccall showed that can knock out elite boxers. They stood a punchers chance vs Wlad. To deny that is stupid with all due respect.
"When have you ever seen Tua work the body and stop any fighter over 6'2? He was behind against good fighters like Maskaev and Rahman before getting them late and he squeaked past Jeff Wooden. How would he get in range to work the body against the superior athlete and boxer in Wlad? Also Golota would rough house Wlad yet he can lose to the likes of Ruiz and Austin ?" We're talking prime vs prime here ain't we? Prime Tua knocks Wlad out. Too fast and powerful for the "Superior" athlete. The Tua who fought Ike would knock out Wlad. Also Golota's prime was when he beat the crap out of Bowe. That Golota would beat the crap out of Wlad in my opinion. If Wlad tried to "Hug" Golota, he would be in a world of pain shortly afterwards. He ran into prime Lewis in his next fight. Prime Lewis knocks most HW's out, including your hero Wlad. His next defeat was Grant, no shame in that. Grant vs wlad would be an interesting fight also. Golata probably ruined Grant's career. He would have taken years of wlad's career also.
It's clear you are unable to be unbiased in regards to Wlad and his career in general. So I will leave it there as I am off out to watch the fight.
I think there were a lot of fighters from the mid 90's that were a bit overrated. I think watching someone like Michael Moorer win a title was proof of that. And don't talk to me about Morrison, he lost to Bentt for pete's sake.
Wlad beats Morrison?? I guess you never read this article .. http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=520929
I'm not Wlad bashing by any means. you called him "ATG top ten HW" I just think differently. He's in my top 20 Top ten, no way. Vitali is a top ten ATG Like, if I was a Klit hater I wouldn't say this would I? i just think Wlad's legacy is poor and in different era's he would have lots of losses on his record. Like vs Povetkin. In a different era those hugs he did, would get him DQed In a different era with bigger guys then him. Those hugs he did, would get him knocked out. Vitali had his moment vs Lewis winning on the cards before the stoppage. Theirs no doubting Vitali's boxing skills because he's been in with an ATG. Wlad's resume is lacking that career defining moment to put him in the top 10
not sure how anyone ranks vitali in the top 10 ATG and Wlad in the top 20..... vitali won 1 belt, defended it 7 or 8 times.... and no, im not gonna count his WBO belt from the 90s from Herbie Hide....the real champs were lewis, holyfield wlad has held unified titles in different different reigns and has been defending titles for the last 10 years...also has much better wins....people buy too much into the vitali myth...he was good, but never did anything to be great
