****Sultan Ahmed Magomedsaliovich Ibragimov Appreciation Thread ****

Sultan Ibragimov has recently announced his retirement. I believe Sultan will go down as one of the greatest heavyweights in history who has a win over euro-level heavyweight and all time great Evander Holyfield. His only loss comes to possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time. This thread is dedicated to Sultan.

Ibragimov has wins over Evander Holyfield, whom he thoroughly outboxed and outclassed. He also beat Shannon Briggs, Lance Whitaker, and was robbed against Ray Austin, and retired at the top of his game.

 

Ibragimov was one of the few heavyweights that I believe could fight in any era and be competitive with the best. He decision to retire, while it will save him his heatlh, has robbed him of pursuing a greater legacy.

 

he was being trained by the incompetent jeff mayweather, whose influence caused him to deviate from his effective european style in favor of an ineffective american-level heavyweight strategy.

 

Good enough to shutout one of your 'ATG' heavyweights :hi:

 

Valuev will also be remembered as a great heavyweight. He, like Ibragmov, outclassed one of the greatest American heavyweights of all time in Holyfield and also has quality wins over John Ruiz, Jameel McCilne, but a loss to fellow great Ruslan Chagaev.

 

Povetkin has future ATG written all over him.
