if wlad was black and american he would be seen as an atg heavyweight, the greatest heavyweight since muhammad ali. wlad should not be discriminated against because he is from ukraine and white. white people in boxing are viewed as inferior. shame on you for not believing in wlad`s greatness. racist americanos
Wlad is mega boring, his last fight against Ibragimov was the worst ive ever seen, yes worse than any of Hopkins bouts, even worse than Mayweather and Baldi.
that was one fight. hopkins-jones was a boring fight does that make roy jones a boring fighter?
Pretty amazing, huh? A guy with 44 knockouts but not one exciting fight.
I know how does that happen.?..I think its cause he is so predictable... His next fight he will jab for however long it take for someone to change the channel and knock his opponent out with the right when nobody is looking.

Wlad didnt help himself with is lame/scared performance against Sultan, He made himself look pathetic with the slapping when he could have being throwing more right hands against the smaller Sultan.
That was Sultans gameplan, he was staying low the entire fight to try and entice Wlad to hit him with his right hand which wouldn't reach because he was stay so low, then counter and try and unload some shots on Wlads chin to KO him.
Wlad was being smart abeit very boring, he could've throw some uppercuts to catch Sultan low but he didn't want to take any chances, the good thing was that it proberbly got rid of Sultan and his TERRIBLELY boring style and cleared up the titleholder mess.
The fight I want to see is Wlad-Haye because i want to see how Wlad deals with someone alot faster/ more athletic than him and possibly as powerful. I think that would be Wlad true test BUT Haye has to win a title to make Wlad's (possible) win a notable one.
one performance like that does not mean he is a bad fighter. his fights are usually exciting. he still won the fight convincingly
His fights are never exciting!

When Wlad's career is all said and done he will definitely go down as one of the all time greats...He will continue to dominate the heavyweight division until he retires.
I don't know why people hate Wlad so much, he's a beast, hardest puncher in the world and one of the most talented fighters in boxing.
Wlad and his brother Vitali are definitely capable of beating any of the all time greats.
im not surprised you didnt respond to what i said. you support a guy who has exploited a nation for personal gain. hatton is a bum
Regardless he still is more entertaining... ex.Gatti wasn't all that but he was entertaining hence popular. Klitchko has the size and skill to throw combos againts the smaller men he has faced and the ability to KO em early but when I watch him he just keeps throwing Jabs the whole round. I liked Vitali better..
Your off topic kid. :wank:

If Wlad was black and american he'd be a black american fighter with a weak chin instead of a white european fighter with a weak chin. LOL!
if ricky hatton had fought young prime good fighters earlier in his career he would have been shown up as the bum he is. instead he beats dinosaurs and gets a nation to believe he is good and take their money
I think it be alot easier in America to be an ATG if you where white. Black dudes just have had the better more pleasing style to watch fighters. I think it would be easier if he were American... If Joe C. were American or R. Hatton, although they have recognition in England as Brits and one is a hugger and the other a slapper, they'd get Mike Tyson type attention in the country where recognition is legitimized and amplified. If Ricky Hatton were Amrican his fight with Mayweather would be even bigger than it was. Hatton being the draw. If Gerry Cooney can start a frenzy for knocking no names out, think of what a really good white fighter can generate. Larry Holmes didn't sell that fight. A fighter gotta have an aura about them to get attention and recognition regardless if they are Black/White/Latino. Look at fighters like Ali, or Tyson, or Robinson, leonard, Hagler, hearns, Roy Jones jr., DLH, Chavez, Duran, Marciano, Lamotta, Gatti, etc. etc. They all had it. Nobody is really getting too much attention nowadays cuz boxing does not have that American fighter with that Aura. PPV is a good indication of the fighters that get good enough recognition for promotors to milk. Aside from DLH, Cotto, Chavez Jr., and Pacquiao nobody is really PPV material.. I don't think any of em Jab their opponents to death like Klitchko niether... Kilitchko just dont got it... Watch out for Kelly Pavlik.. That dude will be the face of boxing in the near future... Hes got the package to bring boxing back on the map... If he fought Jermaine Taylor after a little more public exposure that fight woulda been bigger. Now he needs another high caliber black opponent who is not B-hop or non-American - preferably Joe C. to fight.
I dont this Wlad being white had anything to do with it, I think some fighters are lucky enough to get credited in the heavyweight division while some are just unlucky, I think Wlad is one of the unlucky ones>>>>>Just look at how Larry Holmes(Black and american) had to fight for respect for years and he achieved more thing than Wlad but he was never respected.
Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey are two white Heavyweigh boxers and are greatly respected anywhere in the boxing community. Wlad even if he was american, black wouldn't be an all time great because he hasn't fought and unified the division. The ATG heavyweight's all unified the division or held the title at a time without multiple belts with the exception of Larry Holmes.
Wlad has been beaten by Ross Purrity of all people, now obviously he has developed his attributes but he still has yet to fight the best out there. IF he managed to beat Peter properly again, get into some exciting fights, beat Chagaev and perhaps Haye if he does well then i'm pretty sure people will except him as a ATG heavyweight. Right now on the other hand he isn't.
fair points. i respect your opinion
