    "Rahman this", "Rahman that". So Rahman is the best guy that Wlad beat? Yep, that sure is a better name on your resume than Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko. Look, I know you're trying to yank my chain, and I know you're probably intelligent, anyone with a sense of humour normally is, so I know that you know that argument is weak as hell, so stop peddling it, otherwise other people are going to start thinking you're an imbecile.

    When you back the wrong horse, as you have done, then you can't win. You're on a hiding to nothing. You can not put lipstick on a pig. Much easier to just back the right horse from the beginning. But this is the beauty of the internet, you can now jump on the winning horse (Lennox Lewis) and ditch that loser you were riding on the back of, and no one will care!

    I have that fool on ignore (the only poster i have ever put on the ignore list in my life) but i assume he's making a pro Wlad argument based on both their fights against Rahman??

    Well , Rahman took the Wlad fight on two weeks notice as a late replacement for Povetkin and was so out of shape he didn't bother to take his top off at the weigh-in.

    May as well be arguing that Wlad looked better than Lewis did against Ray Mercer . Oh wait , some Kliturd actually made that claim in the classic the other day :nut::nut:

    Actively - a tad generous description I think.
    When in 81-82 was Lennox gonna fit Wlad in? Smoke and mirrors.

    Lewis socks cry about the first Holyfield decision but seldom do they moan about the robbery their hero inflicted on Mercer. Fact is Mercer is an inconvenient truth in their Lewis stops WK fantasy

    Lewis/mercer was competitive, Lewis/Holyfield 1 was one sided, not competitive in the slightest. The fact you're having to compare a competitive fight that some think could of gone either way with a one sided fight shows you're grasping at straws, lol.

    You count win over Bowe to Lewis' pro resume? Hmm

    Jorge Luis Gonzanez beat Bowe worse than Lennox did in amateurs, shall we count that to Gonzalez rezume, too?

    Mihai Nistor KO'd Joshua in amateurs, lets count it's in AJ pro resume as a loss.

    At least Lewis won that fight.

    Brewster - a 00's version of Mercer - ran through Wlad like a blow torch through candy floss. Poor WLAD looked like he was on the verge of death he got battered so badly.

    Or how about club level Sam Peter doing to Wlad what he couldn't do an old and fat James Toney or Eddie Chambers :jaja-no:

    Two judges on the night didn't agree with your view of Lewis/Holyfield 1. And Mercer gave Lewis hell, correct, while a rookie Wlad was the first guy to knock him out. Prior to that the worst Mercer had done was take a knee vs Holyfield. I know you socks don't like it but WK is the greater man with the longer reign, as reflected by his much higher points total on boxrec.

    A 40 fight world champion is a rookie now? :qmeparto:

    What was Wlad even doing defending his title against Ray Mercer anyway ? He was completely unranked and had been fighting in hotel lobbies in front of a few 100 people.
    He was such a non-factor his fights weren't even televised. It was one of the worst defences in HW history. Disgraceful actually.

    And it wouldn't end there either during Wlads awful WBO title run. After unhealthy 90's era Mercer was disposed of , they dragged another 90's era contender out of the wood work. Except this time the cherry pick left Wlad sprawled out in a crumpled heap after just two rounds:lol:
    Thats bad enough , but avoiding the rematch is even worse.
    You're far out of your element here Coco Bryce. At least Mercer was prime and was coming off a competitive fight with Hoyfield when Lewis fought him.

    why are you using an example of a 41 year old man getting koed as your argument? at the same time you use the same 41 year old argument to argue young wlad wouldnt have lost to joshua? are you mad?

    Are you not aware that you are destroying your own argument by doing this?


    quite apart from referring to a 40 fight 26 year old man defending a minor HW title for the 4th time, as a "rookie"... surely you know claiming this destroys the very argument you are trying to advance?

    :risas3: Herol, you're a precious snowflake. If going 1-1 is better than going 1-0 in your world, it explains a lot of things.

    That is another argument altogether.
