ok dumb ass what i said was....a guy that ****ing big and strong.....shouldnt be going 12 rounds with eddie chambers all 210 pounds of him...or barney ruble... is it unheard of for someone to think the guy should be knocking people out?? its not like hes taking his time jabbing to death another guy his size..he is at a tremendous advantage over some of the worst contenders ever to climb in the ring. hes 30 pounds and then some bigger.... what the **** does david tua going 12 rounds with chris byrd have to do with this?? atsch mike tyson was the small guy in his fights and he put most guys to sleep and early..... thats all im saying.....maybe you havent seen a decent knockout by a heavyweight champ in so long you dont think they exist you guys get dumber and dumber on these boards everyday..... :rofl:rofl
Ali was 6 feet 3 inches tall and Quarry was only 5 feet 10 inches tall. Nobody said that was unfair. Lennox Lewis was 6 feet 5 inches tall, yet he fought Mercer, who was only 6 feet 1 inches tall, not to mention others. Where was the outrage? No call for a superheavyweight division then. Vlad won the gold medal in the 1996 Olympics, yes, that was superheavyweight division.
To crack good defensive boxer in survival mode is much harder for tall fighters. Tall fighters are all counter punchers a little, they need opponent coming forward in order to unload shots. Btw, I don't think this division is any worse than at Larry Holmes era.
:good Thats true! If it was so easy to be a tall boxer then we would not see short boxers anymore. Tall boxers are usually slower and can be countered more easily. Short boxers are usually faster but with shorter reach so they have to be aggressive. Thanks, some people here really need to learn more about boxing.
You missed the point, which was that Lewis fought two extremely cautious fights agaisnt a fighter that was clearly vulnerable: Holyfield. Isn't that was Wlad has been criticize for?
Actually Lewis got a lot of criticism and even hate for his technical style. Lots of people were calling him boring. Many felt his fight against Tua was a safety first boring effort. Lots were saying he "ran away" from Holyfield for two whole fights etc.
Here is a quick one for ya Tua Lewis played safety first the whole nite. So by what you are saying Lewis should of had him out of there early atsch
Many people at the time were convinced Tua would blow right through Lewis. Tua had a granite chin and brutal one punch power. Guys like Chambers and Iggy had barely anything to offer in the way of danger for Wlad.
lewis had a good range of punches. he didn't rely on his size as much as wlad. lewis went toe to toe with guys. plus lewis blasted out guys early if they were there for the taking. what we have we've Wlad is a huge punching powerful guy for some reason acting so timid against small light hitting guys.. it's just disappointing to see. sure it's more effective but it's not crowd pleasing. like vs chambers, I think he could of taken him out way earlier. Manny steward was pissed as hell.
Yep; Chambers pulled a Clottey against Wlad. He just didnt want to perform, and he should be ashamed of himself. If fact; I was so glad he got KOd in the final seconds because what kind of disgraceful *****-**** is that? See how tough I am; I survived 12 rounds with the champ. GTFO of here, and dont come back you bum.
