Wlad Addresses Haters: "Boxing is an Art"

[AztecWanker]

Because Hopkins is actually capable of putting on beautiful displays of boxing (Tito, Tarver, Pavlik, Pascal, etc). Sure he's had some stinkers himself, but at least he's looked awesome and beat hall of famers.

That doesn't answer my question.

Great interview. Wladimir gets too much hate on NSB.

[-PBP-]

I thought this was interesting because Wlad said the exact same thing B-Hop did a week ago and the exact same thing people are bashing HBO/Top Rank for getting on Rigo about. He was just more polite about it.

I have no problem with how Wlad fights. The leaning on his opponent was much but Povetkin made no effort to work in the clinch.

He is a 6 foot 6 Ukrainian so he's not going to look as slick and fluid when he boxes but you can't deny that he is one of the most skilled fighters out right now.

Klitschko does what he does, but referee Luis Pabon was negligent.

hit or be hit, sweet science, just win baby, defensive wizard, etc etc



unless you're Wlad.

What's funny is a lot of posters in that last Bhop thread said Wlad is not skilled at all

Why doesn't Bernard Hopkins publicly congratulate Wladimir on a beautiful Boxing performance?

LOL tito was a cheater who once he got caught couldent bust a g****, and Tarver is a steriod cheat himself, Pavlik is a bum, Pascal another bum.

I completely disagree sir, Wladimir has put on great display of boxing in previous fights. And also so not so pleasing fights just like bernard. But Wladimir hasn't fought in the best of eras like bernard. Saying that bernard showed beautiful displays of boxing because of the opposition makes a case but Wladimir hasn't tasted this many defeats as bernard. They are both atg'a and I enjoy their styles.

He's still sour about what Calzaghe did to him
