Who will beat Wlad?

I'd like to see that too if unification isn't possible.

 

I think Rahman is a better puncher than Peter & Oleg is not the same fighter that was KO'd vs. Whitaker, Johnson & McCall. He's improved his overall boxing skills since then.

 

I would give Peter the 4th spot that Maskaev now holds since Ibragimov has defended his belt already, not just won it. Peter is tied for #5 with Valuev at this point.

 

Nobody has actually beaten Wladimir Klitschko, what he does is beat himself. Unless Povetkin corrects the defects in his style, I don't think there is anybody in the division ready to impose their will and defeat Klitschko. If Klitschko takes another loss it will most likely be another case of blowing it again.

 

the man that will beat waldo will be ruslan 'the white tyson' chagaev.

 

Do you think KO because Peter was shown to be kockdownable ?? ( is that a word?? )....So Wlad is more comfortable and confident, right?? Otherwise, he should have kod' him in their first fight:hey

 

First of all, Jazzster, glad to see ya back in action...2ndly, you make a good pernt ( point ) :good

 

Suddenly, Peter's chin has been brought into question, thanks to McCline. Amazing, I saw Wlad blast him with a right hand and Peter shook his head. That "spooked" Manny and Wlad turned off the jets for most of the fight.Wlad fought a very timid and tentative fight. But he still knocked the hell out of Peter. How anyone could rank Peter no.2 is unbelievable. Alot on this forum think they have been "bamboozled", including me.

 

I think Brewster, esepeciallly, tried to pressure Wlad and tried to get inside and land. I also think others tried, as well. But Wlad's left hand is the great equalizer when someone wants to get inside his reach.

Its not that they didn't try, its that they were unsuccessful at it. Wlad and Steward go to great lengths to build a very tight wall of defense to keep would be KO punchers at bay, with lateral movement, and that always present, jackhammer jab. That's hard to penetrate, as all these recent opponents have learned.

Brewster tried like hell to get inside, as I recall.


That said, I think the toughest fight for Wlad would be, hands down, Chagaev. Chagaev is really the only competitive fight for Wlad, at this point. The others who's be right behind Chagaev as a good opponent for Wlad would be, 1.Valuev, 2. Ibragimov, then 3.Povetkin-Peter-Maskaev........

 

I agree that pressure gives one the best chance of getting to him, but I also think you confuse trying to get inside and being unsuccessful, with being shot before the fight, regarding Brewster.

He tried, and trained. But when he started paying the price, you can't suddenly assume he was shot......that discredit's Wlad's performance.

Brewster was Brewster that night. He tried his usual ploy to charge in and KO the opponent..........But Wlad was prepared for and successful at defending against Brewster's game by repeatedly nailing him with the left hand, and taking him apart with the right.
