I have said this before.. Wlad can beat anyone he wants, the hate train will continue rolling.. I cant remember how many hate threads there were made after Klitschko-Haye.. It was insane.. boxing fans is a bunch of whiny kids. Even if Ali all the sudden turned 24 again and Wlad beat him, haters would still hate lol.. Wladimir is obviously a great fighter, with a huge passion for the sport. why cant people appreciate him? everyone is always talking about: You have to follow your dreams, keep going at it no matter how tough it seems to be, keep fighting, keep hoping etc.. Wlad is a prime example of a guy who went from the top of the world to the bottom and found away to redeem himself, and came back better than ever.. why cant people appreciate this? Respect? Or at the very least just accept it..
One interesting tid bit about Wach is that he´s reportedly never been down as a pro or as an amateur, so he may have a sturdy chin. Mind you, I think Wlad will overwhelm him with speed and power, but I do think he has a chance on account of his reach, chin and power. We´ve all seen how fighting the most popular fighters can create such hype, yet such dissapointment. This at least has low expectations to begin with and can manage to surprise.
Wlad has fought top opposition throughout his title reign. He's at the point where he has fought all the best, and the one remaining great fighter (Povetkin) ducked him and can't fight him until he gets past Chagaev. So who else should he fight? Adamek is fighting Vitali, and the other top dogs are too inexperienced (Fury, Chisora, and the Norwegian guy).
Dude, Ali was inexperienced at 24, and beeing put in a time machine put your focus off. Laye off the nuthugging already.
Ok, let's see... Dimitrenko..... Not available. Has a title fight already for end September. Timur.... Nah... he just lost his last fight to a shot, fat, and old CW. Wlad would be critisiced heavily if he took a fighter coming off a loss to an old small CW. A minimum requirement for Wlad opponents is that they are on a winning streak. Pulev... has nothing on Wach... similar resumes at the moment. Povetkin... Not available. Has a titlefight in 2 weeks, and has been meeting quite low opposition. He needs to step up, but if he beats Chagaev in 2 weeks, then he will be in a good position when he is available. Mitchell.. needs to step up - and also unavailable. Has a fight in 2 weeks as well. Resume like Wach, but unavailable. Helenius.... Has a fight with Liakhovic in 2 weeks so unavailable too. He is a bit more proven than Wach, and should get a shot soon imo.
Partially right . . . they both looked like amateurs. The Heavies suck balls, so every fight is a stay busy fight.
Wlad and Vitaly are doing it wrong imo. They are picking these fighters at the root. Instead of letting them fight amongst themselves and making a big name that was standing.. Then they could meet the last man standing in a big fight.
Pardon? At 24, Ali had been champion for close to 2 years, and when aged 24, put in what many consider to be his defining performance of his pre-exile days vs. Cleveland Williams. Many consider this to be his absolute peak. What does his supposed lack of experience have to do with how good he was at 24?
are you ashamed that you couldn't come along in such a **** poor division and change the whole lay out? surely it's so poor that you could have picked up a strap or two but you didn't .. that's gotta be alot to deal with
Height & reach will mean **** all in this gross mismatch. No way does Wach land anything meaningful at all. :deal
