:good This fight was amazing. But i thought i would die during the fight. Unbelievable how calm Steward was after round 10. And than Wlad comes out for 2 great rounds. This win was great and very important for Wladimirs career. And Wlad destroys Samuel Peter, after this fight he was never be the same fighter.
Chris Byrd and its not even close. Young Wlad in general was exciting to watch.If he would fight this way today he would look brilliant and amazing while knocking people out but there would always be a higher chance that he´d get knocked out himself.
The Peter fight was great - an exciting fight. WK proved his versatility that night, boxing very well against an ultra-aggressive come-forward Peter (when Peter was dangerous), fought his way through adversity and toughed it out in the championship rounds. By the end of the fight he was in much better shape than Peter, coming out of it with more confidence. It was his best fight. And Kudos to Peter, who was a great fighter at that time and a handful to anyone. WK fights have been mainly crap since then, because he hasn't had a hard-hitting aggressive opponent to make him have to fight. He is just cruising along in the safety zone at the moment til another Peter comes along (or a Haye). Thats why he needs and wants a Haye fight, just to show us what he can really do.
Sanders, Byrd 1 and Peters were his most exciting. Only problem is his fight against Ibragimov was by far the most boring fight i have seen in my entire life. I never thought i would see a more boring fight than Sprott v Skelton but Wlad v Iggy was the by far the worst performance EVER, what makes it worse is at the time it was meant to be between the 2 best HW's in the world.... ****ing disgraceful
I enjoyed watching him up until the Sanders / Brewater affair since then he doesn't actually fight anymore Give him his due tho against Mercer he was brilliant , double and triple left hooks , nice !

The Byrd fight. Byrd wore that ****in' stupid ass JESUS shirt into the ring. Then there was his wife bitching at him at a volume you couldn't ****in' believe as you were hearing it. Then when he got taxed and pwned he admitted in the post fight interview with a bloody face that there was no God. ****ing TAXED.
the peter fight. its a shame people forget that sam peter was good back then, but wladimir just broke his spirit imo by taking the best he had to give for 12 rounds and still winning. clearly sam peter never recovered from that loss and it showed that klitschko can beat a big puncher who can take a punch aswell objectively the first brewster fight was probably the most exciting for a neutral. im not a neutral though :?
