    You do realise you could replace Biggs name with Sanders in that statement don't you? It describes Corrie perfectly, who only became this dangerous monster (according to WALD fans) on the strength of one win :lol:

    Most Klitschko fans get their 'knowledge' from boxrec, it doesn't surprise me that this guy is no different. Probably hasn't seen Tyson fight either apart from Savarese onwards.

    Last time I checked, there was no **** sitting within the walls of my flesh, but incidently, I have heard several people make this claim, and I'm not about to go back through 12 months of posts to find it.


    So what does that amount to? Maybe 3 years of following the sport total?


    Calling me names does not strengthen your position, and given that you've been cought red handed commenting on fights you've never seen, I'd say you're looking like quite the douche yourself.

    As a known Wlad hater I will say this much, Wlads jab is one of the best I have ever seen, it's up there with Lewis', though Holmes jab was probably better. When I watch Wlad I see a few things right of the bat, top notch jab, extremely powerful, especially with the straight right and the right hook, very timid, and doesnt respond well at all to any type of pressure or adversity.

    I feel Wlads physical abilities are that of ATG material, though his mental strength is extremely weak for a supposed dominant Heavyweight, something a prime Tyson would expose very quickly, if you dont like Tyson and think he's overrated that's fine, but you must admit, the man had great killer instincts and can smell fear a mile away, something Wlad would show after getting hit with the first solid shot, even the 2002 version that fought Lennox would of had Wlad introuble with the hook he caught Lennox with in the first round.

    I think those who down play Wlads jab, which I feel is his greatest weapon, should watch his matches against Sultan and Brewster especially, the man disposed of both men primarily using just the jab, and in doing so made a proven warrior quit on his stool, which was very shocking to me being a huge Brewster fan since 2000.

    I don't think he's seen any fights truthfully. He's probably a nut case who needs people to talk to, and gets his conversation substance from boxrec, Wikipedia and other incomplete sources. There is a word for this very sort of disorder. Some people have been known to read suject matter on various products so that they can sound intelligent when speaking to sales people, but have no intention of making a purchase.

    Moral of the story: If you are trying to reach a sales quota, don't waste valuable time talking to Ruskull.

    so the guy who wouldn't engage with ibragimov and looked terrified of getting hit by a man with relatively modest power,woudn't be intimidated by a primetime tyson.i've reduced my earlier opinion,i said inside 5 rounds now it's down to 3.

    Wrong Again Idiot, I simply stated Tyson's resume was better than Wlad's. I also stated that that Douglas was more accomplised Than the 3 Journeymen Who stopped a prime Wlad.

    You're the one who said Tyson folded whenever someone fought back, winning Wbogus was better than being undiputed champ, and Wlad fought better comp.

    Keep riding Wlads Dick, you do it well.

    Your free to be a fan of whomever you like? Lots of poeple are fans of America Idol, and Dancing with the Stars too,, I don't get that either, but to each his own. It just so obvious that they are both pretty average fighters? Mostly just lucky they were born in an era of a very weak HW field. Probably the weakest in boxing history.

    :lol: So now you consider thier achievements to be on par?
    Douglas was undisputed, All Sanders did was win the Wbogus strap.

    Also, Douglas was actually a ranked contender for a couple years going into the Tyson fight.

    Sanders wasn't.

    Exactly, Douglas beat Mccall in 89 to get the title shot against Tyson in 90. Sanders best win coming into the Wlad fight was against an old Tubbs, he was practically a journymen until he smashed Wlads glass chin in 03.
