Which fighters out there are an honest threat to Wlad's title?

Then why did he lose to Mike Mollo and Louis Monaco?

 

What is it with you and Koki Kameda?

 

he would be in much better shape and would take it more seriously vs. Wlad. I think Wlad beats everyone except the fighters I listed.

 

I agree with you that Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter, Briggs, and Povetkin have shots at Wlad, albeit, very small shots, but Kevin McBride? This guy beat a washed up Mike Tyson and then was KOd in 2 by Mike Mollo. McBride is no where near world class and would be bombed out by Wladimir and Chagaev, Ibragimov, Povetkin, Briggs, and Peter. I'll give you heart, but he lacks the skill to beat Wlad.

 

I disagree I thought he showed a great jab and right hand against Tyson. He just needs to be in shape. I think the early rounds are dangerous for Wlad but McBride stops him with a right hand.

 

Peter, right now that's about it. Most likely he beats just about anyone else out there.

 

I don't know that any living land mammal can remove Sam Peter from his senses. After watching him get peppered in the first Klitschko fight (that late round hook would've KOed a small horse) and a few good shots from Toney, this guy looks like a tough KO. I think a rematch would play out very similarly to the first bout.

 

Right now I would have to say that Peter has the best chance.

 

If Valuev could learn how to actually use his height and reach to his advantage, then he might possibly give Wladimir some trouble. But unfortunately for Valuev he has NOT learned to use the advantages he has, but if he ever did then I'd give him a good shot.. especially since he appears to have a good chin.

 

I was laughing when I saw Briggs but then beer shot outta my nose when I saw McBride's name.......................

Thanks for the laughs.:thumbsup

 

Um.. do these apply to Chagaev or Ibragimov? Or both? :huh

 

You are correct but in my opinion Valuev needs s-p-e-e-d and that's a hard trait to add.

 

Don't jinx it, that would suck. :-(

 

:yikes :yikes :yikes Briggs?
