Who is the classier representative of the sport of boxing: Floyd or Wladimir?

Well a lot of the nonsense that Floyd spews pre-fight is just to sell tickets and get people to subscribe to PPV.

After his fights, FLoyd is very gracious and always has good things to say about his opponents.

Obviously Wladimir would be considered the "classier" guy between the 2, but I will say that Floyd has toned down a lot of his antics the past 2 or 3 years. Even in pre-fight mode, FLoyd usually doesn't insult his opponents as much as he used to in the early to mid 2000's.

I guess he's grown up a bit and started showing some maturity. I think that stint he had in jail really put things in perspective for him and taught him some humility.

 

Let's see........

Floyd handpicks spoon-fed opponents who have skill-sets which allow him to dominate.

Whereas Wlad is continually being for forcefed mandatories. And even when he doesnt fight the mandatory, he's taking risky volunatries.

Although, tbf, Mormeck was as hopeless as Guerrero, and Wach as bad as Madaina.

Overall their LOC is similar lately, but Wlad is taking the toughest fights out there or begging for them.....Haye, Potvetkin, Fury, Pulev etc......

While Floyd continues to DUCK his ONLY 3 challenges in Bradley, Khan, and Pacqioua.:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Wlad has more class as a human being, but Floyd's more interesting to watch.

After that pathetic hugfeast Wlad put on during his last fight, I'm never watching the guy fight again, not that watching Floyd fight handpicked opponents is all that much better, but at least there's a semblance of boxing taking place, even if it's mostly a glorified sparing session.

 

At least Floyd didn't get knocked spark out by a part time boxer (pro golfer), a bum journeyman and an exclusive left hooker.

Wladimir has class, but in that ring he's as disgraceful as they come.

 

good post.


being able to be as corrupt as wlad is in the ring with him taking advantage of it at every opportunity isn't very classy

 

I dont think you can even put 'Floyd' and 'classy' in the same sentence

 

Wlad, of course.

 

What would you call obsessive nuthugging and fawning over a fighter who has no idea you exist? That seems pretty weird, no? :yep

 

wlad is a doctor who speaks multiple languages and is built like a greek staue. He can beat any man in the world, bar none, in a boxing ring. he is a step up in mans evolution.

floyd was born to 2 crackheads who nobody else wanted to ****, he cant finish a sentence without geting confused and stuttering like a 3yo. floyd is a step backwards in evolution.

you are comparing 2 totally different primates.

 

Are you white? I think you must be.

 

No, sportsperson should be your role model , much less a boxer.

 

One can spell the word "getting" and the other can't.

How is the hvw champ of the world less unknown than the ww champ of the world? He's white, won a gold medal yet is unknown to the world???

Wlad is a nice guy, but getting ktfo 3 times before reinventing himself because his comp got worse does not hold up to Floyd beating everyone in style. Floyd likes to say that he is a gorilla and Wlad is the caveman from Europe with the muppet face. I've always wanted the hvw champion to be the baddest man on the planet. When I look at Wlad, I don't see anything near that. Corrie Sanders face appears every time I see Wlad. I keep wondering why that rematch didn't happen.

 

Outside the ring, Wlad seems to be the classier guy and a better representative of the sport but inside the ring, he's borderline-unwatchable thanks to all the clinching.

I'd also question how much he actually cares about the sport. K2 put on disgraceful undercards, where the highlight is usually when some 80's band like the Scorpions come out and sing Winds of Change. They're selling out stadiums and could help develop future fighters by showcasing them in front of huge audiences but instead they only look out for themselves.

 

This.
