He is only no. 2 after Vitaly. Which talent does he have if you take away size and reach ? He cannot deal with taking punishment, if he could he would´nt have been dropped by Puritty/Pannell/Williamson-type of fighters. How should he keep them at bay if he was an average sized heavy ? He is good at fighting tall, that´s all.
I agree and so do the brothers ...we talked about it at dinner one night. Its clear they will never ever fight
:good IMO Vitali will do that after this Haye fight or at the most a fight after that. He has talked about 1-2 more fights with 1 of those being a "BIG" fight. We will see:good
It doesn´t bother me what other people think. Wlad is given credit, cause he was more active. If Vitaly haven´t been out of boxing for a long period, noone would mention Wlad as no. 1. Vitaly is a fighter, Wlad is not, he´s just a good athlete who can box tall. He would be helpless in a war and you all know it.
Wlad is not helpless in a war. He fights against Samuel Peter in 2005 and this was a war. Wlad get´s up 3times and won a UD. This was not a boxing match, it was a real fight and Wlad goes the distance and won this fight. Wlad is No. 1 not only in my opinion.
woulda, coulda, shoulda so you discredit Wlad becuase of what vitali MIGHT have done and not what he actually did?atschatsch
WOW, that was a war ? :roflatsch Wlad was running and clinching all night and the three times, Peter was able to catch him, he has been floored. LOL, great war ! It´s a joke that a slow plodder like Peter even managed to touch him. James Toney fought Peter two times before he took on Wlad and although Toney was way past his prime, he was not floored three times. May have to do something with the fact that Toney is a proven fighter, who is able to go to war. I cannopt take away from Wlad that he is very good in doing what he has to do. But telling me that he is a real fighter is a complete joke. He can´t fight, he just can box. And that disqualifies him to be an Alltime great imo.
