Who is the Best Russian HW?

Just change the topic name to, Whos the best heavyweight form the former USSR. Wouldn't stress you as much

 

Is Wladimir not Russian??


Technically he's Ukranian, but that was former USSR.

Unless there's some techical/ethical restriction??


Wladimir is clearly the man right now:good

 

You are not only a complete moron - you are a pencil-necked dip****. Pull your head out of your ass, ******.

I like Holy too but dont be fooled by the Lou Saverese match. Sultan is no Lou Saverese.

 

If you want to be technical yes. Klitchko is Ukrainian but he falls under the russian category too. So my pick right now is Klitchko or Sultan.

 

I am not sure if Sasha Povetkin is that gifted and boxing smart to match the best out there, he may fail to adjust to Chris Byrd's stance and approach but in case he doesn't, Wlad will have a much better opposition in him than against both Byrd and Brock... Chagaev is mostly one european based boxer but that's not a disadvantage and I believe he's much stronger and heavy handed than Iggy or Sasha ( Povetkin not Dimitrenko). I think honestly that this thread blurs more than anything else cause we are talking about different fighters who evolved professionally in different environments, Povetkin, Dimitrenko and Chagaev in Europe, Iggy, Maskaev in the US... Alexander Zolkin was not a fighter with a characteristic russian style but he was very gifted, possibly as technically sound as Wlad but he couldn't prevail.

 

the best russian HW to me is.... IVAN DRAGO

Question for all you guys - Are there any other Eastern European
heavyweights that have potential???

I'm talking about heavyweights that are just starting out - with
maybe five or six fights - that you feel are talented and capable
of moving up the ranks. If you have additional info, such as
height, reach, age, boxing style, etc., please post it.

Thanks, very interested in hearing about future heavy contenders.
