View Full Version : Why are Wlad fans so darn obsessed?
ChrististheAnswer 10-10-2004, 03:33 PM I read some of these posts the Wlad fans make and its like they think Wlad can do no wrong. And anything bad that happens to him is not Wlad's fault it always someone's elses fault. I respect the way you stand up for your fighter, but there is no need to be blind on some issues, like the issue of Wlads shot confidence and glass chin. This is not another Wlad hater thread its a thread to determine why Wlad fans are so rabid and obsessed of their fighter.

Neuraxis 10-10-2004, 04:36 PM What are your excuses for Byrd's performance against a B level Oquendo, an old, shot Golota, a one armed Vitali, and a glass chinned Wlad?

Firtsly Oquendo is not a B level fighter, and I do feel that Byrd lost that fight by 2 points, however it is not his fault that there were incompetent judges scoring the fight. Byrd lost that fight, no excuses! Secondly Golota is not old and shot, he is only 36 and he fought a great fight againste a slick southpaw boxer. Byrd did beat Golota and even rocked him a few times, it was close but I had him winning by 2 points. Byrd stuggles against large men as he did with Vitali, Wlad, and Ike. No excuses its just a case of men who could be in a seperate weight class beating up on a naturally smaller guy.

Who has Oquendo beaten to prove that he's not a B level fighter? Was it Maurice 19-12-2 Harris who Oquendo was losing to 86-84 on all scorecards before KOing him? Did he really deserve a title shot after that? A not shot Golota would walk through someone of Ruiz's caliber, so I guess that will be the test.

Fast Fres was beating David Tua before getting caught, so maybe it was an off night against Harris.
AS for the second part of your statement, yes we will see, but Ruiz finds ways to win, illegally, but he does win.
I'am curious as to what your take is on the whole Wlad-Brewster fight.

El Jesus 10-10-2004, 08:08 PM Firtsly Oquendo is not a B level fighter, .
yes he is, without a doubt he is, oquendo couldnt even be competitive against john ruiz, hes barely average in a ****ty division, dont kid yourself.

Well it looks like I finally agree with Black Jesus. Maskaev outboxed Tua as well before Tua KO'd him. Is Maskaev an A level fighter? Oquendo = B level fighter until he beats anyone besides tomato cans.
As for Ruiz, I think we can all agree that Jay Nady should be his official ref. With Nady, Ruiz wouldn't be able to beat anyone.
As for Wlad I would say that it was a combination of a new style that requires more footwork and thus more movement which he did not take into effect. Throw the fact that he was throwing his second highest punches per round next to the Mercer fight and he was bound to collapse. There may also have been a mental issue with him being so tense and stressed that it caused him to overly tire or he may have just been sick because he looked no where near as bad as he looked after the Purrity fight as he did after the Brewster fight.
Sir_Jose 10-10-2004, 09:06 PM Wlad fans make me laugh
We have seen Wlad fans claim he was drugged, his fight with Brewster was fixed.
We have seen them blame the best cut man in boxing Joe Souza for Wlad losing. They said Souza rubbed Vasonline over his body and thats what cause him to be KO'ed
We have seen them blame the best trainer in Boxing Manny Steward for Wlad losing.
We have seen them blame EVERYONE, but Wlad for him losing.

Hater, can't you see it's Manny Stewart ruining him?? Just ignore the fact he's a frontrunner with no stamina that falls apart like a cheap suit at the first sign of trouble. It's Manny's fault. And Wlad lost to Corrie Sanders because the day before the fight he was abducted at phaserpoint by the Klingons, who sucked all the skill and will from his body. They then returned Wlad the day of the fight totally drained and lifeless. Wlad is the man for not cancelling the fight, what a hero he is...

Because people envy his size and talent, and wish he could put it all together.
And his only legit loss was to Sanders but he kept getting up. He hasn't got KTFO seriously like RJJ, so people still got faith in the guy.

only legit loss? unlike RJJ wlad doesnt have a montel griffen.
wlad lost to brewster and he lost to sanders, and lost in pathetic fashion to those two. And even though he didint hit the canvas like RJJ, in those 2 fights, he looked like a little *****, like RJJ did in his last 2 fights.

This coming from someone who makes the most ridiculous comments ever while obsessing over a piss-poor boxer and ending each and every post with something about the lord?
Oh yeah, and always thinks he is so "moral and religious" and blah blah blah.
Please. Look kid, I know that all the "special time" with your preacher and the time alone with the Byrd pictures has left you mentally ****ed, but don't bring that **** here.
It's not our fault you can't carry a conversation with your priest about Byrd because your mouth is full.

Dodging the comments I see.
What? No "praise the lord I'm so righteous and perfect and Byrd makes me moist"?
Don't even start on the "mature level" bull****.
What you do each and every time a moronic idea pops into your tiny bruised head is start a dumbass thread filled with bull**** and try to personally attack the people who post on it, while also blasting their posts with more bull**** and ending with something about the lord.
That is far from mature.
That is as mature as someone ending a debate with "shut up you suck!".
Like I said, it's not our fault you can't carry a conversation about Byrd with your priest because you're too busy being pounded or having your mouth filled.

I truly feel sorry for you, such anger and hate, for someones posts that you disagree with is totally unwarranted. I wonder what you would do or say if someone really made you mad.
Everytime I come on here you are online, and you have 2000 plus posts, why? Do you have no life? You don't even seem to be here to talk boxing but "rule the lounge" as your title suggests, and attack me with personal and childish insults. However these insults only discredit you further to our fellow posters. They see that I'am being the bigger man and you are being a child.
You have shown that you cannot argue with me at a mature level and therefore I shall not respond anymore to anything you have to say. This is the end to our dealings with one another, I'm sorry it turned out this way, I tried to be cordial and even extended the olive branch several times but you rejected my peace offerings.
My final comments to you are not religious in nature but are in fact words that are truth.
Grow up and get a life.

Ever heard of the following things?
Cookies and DSL.
Because my connection doesn't go out and I didn't delete the cookies from this board, it always shows me as logged in.
Whenever I am on though, I post here.
Now I really don't feel like responding to every piece of your boring and tired old "olive branch because I know I'm a two-sided hypocritical dumbass piece of **** and you kicked my ass verbally so I want to end it but still look like the 'bigger man'" bull**** because it's been done so many times.
Just shut the **** up.
Perhaps try posting after you've either dropped the lust for Byrd and learned some actual **** about the boxers you love to insult.
Or, have stopped being the priest's **** toy and stopped using religion as an escape.
Either one will suffice.
El Jesus 10-11-2004, 04:19 AM i hate chris byrd, i cant stand his ****ing style, and i love to see him lose. but this off topic **** is getting annoying, mostly because it deters from the argument at hand. i hate how these topics turn into what i see at several social boards i visit, i came here because this is a fast moving BOXING forum, why is it nessecary to turn this into a stupid insult match about his religious beliefs, and call him out on grossly stupid matters, when you could spend more time dissing chris byrd and at the least, keeping the argument slightly civil while commanding a small amount of respect.

Why?
For the following reasons.
1. He always posts some stupid **** about boxers who are much better than Byrd.
2. He always attacks a user's post and the user when replying.
3. He brings in religion everytime he posts.
4. He calls the user lame names and claims to be so much greater.
5. He never respects someone unless they think the same idiotic way he does.
So given those reasons, why should I treat him differently?

I dont think Wlad has what it takes anymore and I think its fun to get into discussions with the forum Wlad fans to see what excuse they come up with next. It seems like Neuraxis may actually be coming around. A week ago you would never see him type anything that concedes that Wlad got beat or looked bad, but now it looks like he starting to be more objective with his oppinions. I guess boxingscene it turning out to be good therapy for him. :p

My argument is, I can't stand it when people call for Wladimir to retire. Seems ludicrous to me. If an accomplished fighter still has his wits about him and he's young enough (28 in Wladimirs case) then there's still a chance he can recover and turn his career around. It's happened countless times in the past. Lewis, for example got KO'ed a couple times and recovered.
In Wladimirs case, I don't know if he will recover or not. I don't know if he will ever live up to the expectations of some. But I do think he's accomplished enough and earned the right to discover his own destiny/fate. He's only 28. Some boxers start their pro career at 28. Even if he only becomes an OK fighter, boxing needs him.
Regarding your negative (hater's) comments, many fighters have recovered from a shaken confidence and KO losses and many have not. Why shouldn't Wladimir be given the chance to see if he can do the same. He deserves/earned that much.
Explosivo 10-11-2004, 01:42 PM I always liked Vitali over Wladimir.

I agree. If anyone thinks Wlad has problems being mentally preparred in the ring, you know it would be worse fighting his big brother who used to beat the **** out of him every day when they grew up.

Actually, I think what would really **** with his head is the fact that his brother has a title and he doesn't.
(Unless he magically got one and I wasn't aware of it)
I'm probably going to get all kinds of **** for this.
But I think Vitali is the better fighter.
Think of it.
The guys that Wlad lost to, Vitali beat.
Vitali is still around, Vitali still is champ, and Vitali isn't being questioned and told to retire like Wladimir is.

Honestly, I think Vitaliy would have lost to Sanders had not Wlad fought him first. They severely underestimated Sanders in the first fight. They made a huge mistake, the entire team did.
Wlad is a good guy and he always stated that Vitaliy is the best. Vitaliy always stated that about Wladimir too. I have a brother and I am always happy with his successes. I think my borther is better than me. Do you have a brother, Dr. Cynical?

I think Vitali isn't afraid to get angry in a fight and be the aggressor.
Wladimir is just too timid and is getting ****ed by that and taking fights too easy and allowing his original style to be messed with.
I honestly think that Vitali could KO Wladimir.
No, I don't have a brother.

um I saw that fight and it was a total flash knockdown cause he was off balance. Much the same why Mayo scored on Trinidad. Klit totally dominated that fight. He was never in trouble of getting KTFO.

These losses were very EARLY in Pac's career. Physically and experience wise Manny was not a mature fighter. Many things have changed SINCE THEM. For example, he was not training with Freddie Roach during these losses.
Wlad's losses, happened LATE in his career. And as Late as They were....him fighting Corrie Sanders was considered a STEP UP from what he had fought. Wlad was considered a fully mature fighter. They did not occur relatively early in his career.

The same can be said for the Purrity loss. Yet that didn't stop people from bashing him because of it.
theironone 10-11-2004, 04:08 PM Not many mention Purrity, there is alot more concern for Wlad over his last two losses, there is a legit arguement to say he was young, inexperianced and didn't know how to pace himself - lack of maturity or whatever.

Before the Sanders loss, Purrity was mentioned during every single fight of Wlads that I have seen.

Notice when I mentioned Wlad's losses, I did not mention Purrity......for that very reason. I don't count Pac's early losses against him the same way I don't count Wlad's loss against Purrity against him.
To be consistent, since you don't hold the Purrity loss againt Wlad, how can you hold Paquaio's early losses against him?

Well you aren't the only person who thinks that Wlad sucks. Most people mention the Purrity fight. And many people mentioned about how the Brewster fight was just an exact repeat of it which is hardly the case.
I am not holding those loses against Pacman. I was merely pointing out that he has lost to lesser opposition just like Wlad has. I would say that Brewster is a lesser fighter, but Sanders is an A level fighter for the first 2 or 3 rounds of every fight. If he ever actually trained and fought every round more or less like he was able to fight the early rounds of fights, Sanders would be a top 5 heavyweight.
vB Martin 10-11-2004, 09:22 PM I know and I never said that Pac was doing as badly as Wlad.
I said that as soon as it happens, they will defend him the same way Wlad is being defended.
They swallowed the story that it was his socks that kept him from putting away Marquez after having him down 3 times in the first round. He probably just found that excuse in the Wlad locker room waste basket after the Sanders fight, though

Wouldn't doubt it.
Hell, the being attacked by klingons excuse is more believable. :p
vB Martin 10-11-2004, 09:32 PM I laughed my ass off when I read that article, though I just searched several news sites and can't find it again.
They said that he had on improper socks, which caused his feet to hurt, so he wasn't as mobile as he could have been.
Because his big, white, beautiful, well educated and comes from a poor country.
If he makes it and becomes champ and retires as a champ his life story would be the perfect bed time story, with good morale, go to school, train hard, be kind and youl make it.
His the man id like to have a pint and a chat with and the man girls want too be with.
His young he can still make it, i hope.
His future is a big question.
But! This especially too chrisistheanswer. How bad is Chris if a pathetic boxer like you mean Wlad is, whiped the floor with him?
Who has a better record and more talent than wlad at his age?
Panzergirl 10-23-2004, 08:38 AM good points, leff.
ejk22 10-23-2004, 09:38 AM If Wlad fights Byrd five times, Wlad defeats Byrd all five times. Wlad has no fear of getting hit by Byrd. Wlad's fear comes from big punchers or big guy's. That's why I think he'll destroy Brewster if they face one another again and he'll also defeat Ruiz who is not considered a big puncher. Now if he faces Whitaker, Golota, Harrison, Tyson, Williams the outcome may be different because he fears getting hit by these guy's. It is a psychological demon that he needs to defeat.
Yes,i know from fighting myself both on the street and in the ring that the
psychological part is extremly important.
Iv scared a lot of guys who realy are a lot scarier than me.
