I am a huge Vlad fan, and after the TOS I was glad he got a win despite the poor ending. But after much thought and reading some other comments I am afraid he may be done as an A+ heavyweight. Someone said he just isnt beltholder material and they may be right( WBO is a minor league belt). He barely beat TOS and was pretty busted up after fight. Thats fine for a B level fighter, but not a guy who was a former gold medalist who beat byrd,mcline,mercer. He has had a bad year, losing to A TOTAL BUM brewster. Remeber this guy has beat no one till he met Vlad. Vlad was destroying him and god knows what happened, but he lost. No matter drugs, exhaustion, chin, whatever he lost. He lost to sanders. No shame in that except he was steamrolled.
No question he has great jab,hook of the jab, great counter right hand, huge overhand right.He showed he can pace himself. But I am starting to think he will be relagated to a B , B+ level heavy, but nothing else. Maybe I am wrong, but as a huge Wvlad fan we are lieing to ourselves about the future of this guy. He gets ko'd again he is on danell nicholson level and will stay there till he quits. Thats showbiz in boxing. Thank God his brother has potentiol for greatness! I think Vlad could destroy Whitaker, but after this past 18 months, that may be his end.

Sorry, but I think this must be a byproduct of a horse. :)



Wlad is the third youngest heavyweight among the top 50 heavyweights. Wlad is not shot, but rather he has not even fully developed yet. His time will come in two or three years.

He has been having some rough times, but this is very good for him. These rough times should really serve him well. If he is a true worrior, he will learn from these bad times and will come back and rein in the good times!

Wlad will be the champion. We believe in him. The true fans never give up on their fighters, especially in bad times !

Only Time will tell if Wlad will be able to respond to the challenge to be great. Ive said it before, he is my favorite(not who i think is the best) fighter to watch, and I hope he does answer our questions by this time next year. All i know is, I wish I could throw a left hook like that. it is ridiculous, i would just going around picking fights if i could LHook like him(j/k :D )

Well, I wont speak for him, cause I dont know him, but I got the impression that as much as he loves the guy he still can admit these facts; nothing more, nothing less.
That's just the impression I got; I'd never put words in his mouth though

Wlad is done as a top ten heavyweight. Before Sanders it seemed as though nothing could stop the apparent heir to Lennox Lewis, but something did stop him, a glass chin and broken confidence.

Wlad stopped himself from being a top heavyweight.

I don't see how he is going to be ready by December. That cut was nasty and would have a good possibility of reopening if he sparred with it. If the Klitschko camp is smart I wouldn't except to see him in the ring until February at the earliest.

I guess none of that applies to your boy Byrd, despite how bad he looked in his last two fights.

Byrd got fu**d up pretty bad by Wlad. I think he should retire. Comon now, losing to Wlad. :rolleyes:

If only Ike Ibeabuchi was reasonably sane....
He'd have been the savior of this piss-poor division.

He had already wasted Byrd. He would have rid the division of the disgraceful Ruiz. The skilless Klitschko's would have been exposed, & forced to retire. Lennox Lewis would have gone out on a brutal, decisive KO loss....instead of an uninspired stoppage-on-cuts victory.

Funny how some people praise negative posts, then argue positive posts regarding the Klitschkos, and then complain when people view them as "Haters". It's the same old people over and over again.

If the Klitschkos are so terrible, Then how the hell did they become so successful?

Regarding the original author of this thread, I'm not going to assume he's the "huge Klitschko fan" he says he is. I haven't read enough of his posts to believe him yet. He didn't have any positive comments in his oriinal post at all. Sounds a lot like a hater to me. It wouldn't suprise me if it were a hoax and I wouldn't put it past some of the haters on this site.

The post of that guy contained an obvious contradiction. He was saying that he is a "huge" fan and then admitting basically quite the opposite.

I hate to say this, because he seems like a real gentleman but I'm not convinced he ever was a top 10 in the 1st place (by ranking sure). Lots of potential but never really translated it into meaningful results. People will argue this by sayoing well what about 3 years ago bla bla bla, lets be realistic if he can't hack the division right now then you have to question weather he ever really had the ability. I apreciate that Stewart has changed the way he boxes but I don't see this as being the contributing factor, mentally I think he is just short and I believe he has a bit of a glass jaw.

i dont think he is done. but then again, i thought he would walk through sanders and brewster(asterisk by the brewster fight, i dont care what anyone says. i have never seen anything like that.) however, i dont think he has a snowball's chance in hell to accomplish half of what Lennox did, and i HATE lennox lewis. it's sad but true. I love to watch him fight (until recently), but he is not going to be able to get it done in the face of adversity. it's too bad too, he has a ton of potential.

Hi Guys,

I was gone for some time and couldnīt read the posts in this Forum. I come back and what do I still read? :mad:
Every second threat sounds like:

Wlad is done! Is not! Is too! Is not! You are stupid! :p
You stink!......

Em, maybe the Contra- and Pro-Wlad people should accept that they have their opinion and accept the other opinions.
There are things you simply cannot discuss. Like the future, your personal taste and how you interpret things and feel.

So please stop behaving like Kids who are fighting about some toy. :(

By the way, Iīm a Klitschko-Fan but hey, as long as nobody pisses on me everybody can love "his/her" fighter! :)

Peace out,

Sebi
