What I think the Heavyweight Division needs is...

I enjoy watch Vitali and Vlad fight.

Vlad “is” the most talented heavyweight on the planet, but he has been hated by American boxing press since he won the gold medal and the hatred is not just provincial………….I, and so many others, know the “real” reason Vitali and Vlad are hated, to the extreme, in America. Right now, Wilder is worshiped in America. He is ranked #3 by WBC without fighting anyone who is ranked, not top ten, 20, 30 40, ad infinitum. When Vlad knocked Austin out, using only his left hand with five left hooks that were very quick, the haters claimed he was the worst heavyweight in the world today. Vlad knocked Thompson out two times, both Thompson and Austin were 6 feet feet 6, not to mention Wach who was 6 feet 8 inches tall, approx. 250. McCline, Vlad TKO’d him in the 10th round easily when McCline was at his peak. Vlad stopped Derrick Jefferson in the second round, both McCline and Jefferson were 6 feet 6 inches tall. Vlad knock out Bostice at MSG, USA. Bostice was 6 feet 5 and many more. All the haters claim that Vlad can only beat short fighters, including a recent article on this page! Compare Vlad’s opponents with Wilder’s! The same people are now claiming that Wilder is superior to Vlad and would knock Vitali and Vlad out easily, however, when Vlad sparred with Wilder while preparing for the Wach fight, Vlad outclassed him, knocked him down with a jab!!!!!!! Can you imagine what would have happened in the ring without head gear, etc.?! Should Vlad fight Sconiers or some other Wilder opponent? Would Americans call Vlad the best then?! Perhaps Vlad should start fighting a bunch of winos. Vlad won the gold medal in the Olympics and so did Povetkin, if they can fight at all, then why did they win the gold? I am sick of the double standard in boxing.

 

The division is in need of good fights, that won´t happen with Wladimir though, as he is destroying any kind of fight with his illegal stuff and unfortunately he gets protected by the organizations.

 

I am very much looking forward to Wlad/Pulev.... It will be a battle of thej abs. I don't know how anybody can complain about that fight, it's a solid matchup

 

It´s a solid matchup, i give you that, but do you see excitement at all, 2 guys trying to win a jab debate ?
