Wladimir Klitschko can't fight Southpaws, that's why he never rematched Sanders

    I know lots of Wlad fans lost it many moons ago, but this is some intense nuthugging.

    Chagaev wasn't prime at all. Valuev at that time actually declined to fight him due to some severe sickness.

    Byrd was in the Olympics, but at middle weight or something. LOL

    Nice try, though. Try harder next time, Wlad fans.

    Can't be any other possible reason, so yep that's what it is.

    I would say Wlad would have always a lot of problems with big, fast and aggressively minded southpaw. Fortunately it meant only 1 out of those 5 decent southpaws he fought.

    Byrd had no power and was dwarfed by Klitschko's size advantage. Thompson, even though he's a basic poor man's southpaw, gave Klitschko hell in the first fight simply because Klitschko kept moving towards his left. Even though Klitschko kept making that mistake, Thompson didn't bite at all, which further proves he's not worth mentioning as a good win unless one is desperate. The rematch, it was an old shot version of a D class fighter in his prime, which clearly makes him F class at that point.

    Let's be real please, did Ibragimov even go there to fight that night? I never complain about any tactical fights because I love them and prefer them over brainless slugging but damn Ibragimov/Klitschko was horrible.

    I agree with you, Scar.
