Vlad has looked really good when he fought big fighters. Wilder claims that Vlad cant beat a tall fighter?! Vlad Vs. 6′ 6″ Derrick Jefferson when Jefferson was on top, a huge power puncher, but Vlad knocked him out in the second round! Vlad beat 6′ 6″ McCline when McCline was on top, knocked him out at the end of the 10th round, won all rounds. Vlad Also knocked out 6′ 6″ Austin, knocked him out in the second round by using only his left hand. Vlad beat the living crap out of Wach who is 6′ 8″ inches tall, won every round, Vlad stopped Bostice, who is 6″5″ tall, etc. Wilder ran from Thompson who Vlad has knocked out two times, Thompson is 6' 6" tall. Dont allow Wilder to lie to you! You can watch those fights on tape and Wilder will be a proven liar .. Vlad has been in many exciting fights, he knocked out Shufford with the shortest left hook I have ever seen .Vlad beat Byrd two times, ad infinitum .Vlad beat all the other champions, except Vitali. The haters want Vlad to fight his own brother, which will never happen, unlike so many other fighters, Vitali and Vlad do not lie, do not do drugs, stay in shape year round. I know so many Americans want Vitali and Vlad to beat up a woman, or strangle a woman so they will respect then?! I never heard anyone asking the Spinks brothers to fight each others. Yes, the haters know no shame The claim that Vlad is not good enough to win a gold medal?! Vlad won the gold medal back in 1996, Atlanta, GA. So, there is another proven lie This is in response to some of Wilder's lies. Vlad outclassed Wilder in sparring for the Wach fight, knocked him down with a jab.......Vlad has mentioned Wilder as an opponent it the near future. So this fight could happen, but I think Wilder would back out. Wilder is ranked #3 WBC! How insulting to any knowledgeable boxing fan! Wilder has not fought anyone in the top 50! Wilder also backed out of a fight with Chisora. I think that 6 foot 8 inch Hughie Fury would knock Wilder out right how, much less Tyson Fury. Wilder has refused to fight Jennings, Arreola, Malik Scott, you name it!
Measuring stick journeyman. Stay busy fight. Record padder. Firtha's record: 21-10-1, w/ 8 KO's Nichalai Firtha's notable opposition: 2007- L UD6 Franklin Lawrence 2009- L KO6 Tye Fields 2010- W TKO2 Tony Grano 2010- L UD10 Alexander Povetkin 2011- L TKO5 Tyson Fury 2012- L UD12 Johnathon Banks Firtha is so damn bad. Povetkin/Fury/Banks at least are quality opponents enough to perhaps take something away from it despite the **** it looks like on paper.
Wilder is a unstoppable wrecking machine. Nobody wants a part of the horseman. That's why he's fighting guys like Firtha. Too much of a risk for the top contenders. Deontay will be the one to dethrone Klitschko! But i doubt Wlad will have the guts to get into the ring, with such a ferocious beast!
It's been FIVE YEARS. Five years into his career Michael Grant - another hype job with a shaky chin, btw - was facing Andrew Golota. That tells you just HOW bad Wilder's chin is. Pure china.
Even a fat out of shape Firtha knocked Wilder off balance with a jab. Vlad knocked Wilder down with a jab in sparring for the Wach fight, Vlad totally outclassed Wilder. No wonder Vitali and Vlad want to fight Wilder...........
It's pretty obvious Wilder has a glass chin, which is why his handlers aren't putting him with anyone remotely competitive. Wlad would destroy him.
