Sultan was overmatched, but Thompson fought well. His output diminished in the late rounds because he was getting hammered. And he stayed on his feet until he was unconscious.
Thompson would beat all your HWs: Haye, Sprott, Skelton, William, Harrison, etc.
Thompson lost cause he was not good enough to compete period ,he was getting hammered cause he was not following his corners intructions he would not step of the line and attack from angles cut the ring down he was walking in straight lines where he could get hit thats why he is trainer kept telling him to stay of the line, he would still of lost but he would not have taken so many shots but that just shows how limted he was
all my HW what you talking about lol
i dont care what the rankings said at the time ,Sultan ,Thompson fought like they were not interested
Haye was not an Undisputed Champion and he had not decided to go to HW at that point he just took a one off fight at HW

Those guys earned their rankings. How many guys have won seven in a row against guys ranked in the top ten (by Ring)?
Your Haye fought a guy (Bonin) not ranked in the top 100.

He got up every time he was knocked down. He lost three by TKO BEFORE his title reign. Imagine if Zab were to come back and reign as champ at 147, or Taylor were to regain the titles at 160. Three years ago Wlad's name couldn't be spoken without a chuckle. Since then he's 7-0 with 5 KOs against the best in his division. Who else can you say these things about?

He needs to confront his demons... specially Corrie Sanders.
Wladimir should've given Sanders a rematch some years ago. Corrie is a fat old man now though so it doesn't make any sense.
He should've avenged the Puritty loss too. Peter, I guess, deserves a rematch also, although the fight wasn't that close aside from the 3 knockdowns (sounds funny, I know).
Instead he has his bigger, more durable brother Vitali beat them up. :grumpy:
The Corrie Sanders fight was one of the most devastating losses I've ever seen, I have no idea how he came back from that and the soon following defeat to Brewster.

So yes, the man does have some heart I would say. Maybe he doesn't fight like it in the ring but there's more to it than that.
The people who think he is invincible and make numerous excuses for his defeats are completely wrong but Wladimir does deserve some respect.
Vladimir has lots of heart ! He wouldnt be champion if he didnt have heart.
i agree u could see that by looking at his face against Purity,Sanders,Brewster his face was of a man that wanted to continue
