He trains Wlad...
Of course he's going to say that Wlad is the greatest.Comment

There is nothing wrong with Wlad's chin. He KO loss to Sanders was legit. Sanders knocked him down four times and every time Wlad kept getting up to fight on. Someone with a glass chin, like, say, Etienne, goes down and stays down when they get clocked. Wlad has never done that. He has he heart of a champion and always fights on.
His loss to Brewster was anything but legit and anyone who doesn't think that there was something seriously wrong in that fight (and I'm not talking about Wlad's stamina) they are deluding themselves or know nothing about the fight game. We KNOW a criminal element exists in professional boxing. Satan himself is a promoter, and he goes by the name Don King.
Anyone ever wonder why the odds on Brewster suddenly went from around 13-1 all the way down to 4-1 just two hours before fight time? Come on fellas. We all know the answer.
As far as his kd versus Williamson is concerned, we all know what a flash knockdown is. Wlad was off balance as was obvious from the replay, and he got caught. It has nothing to do with his chin and everything to do with his balance at the time he was hit. Same thing happened to James Toney when he was caught with that jab from Sam Peter. He was off balance.
And speaking of Peter, when he fought Wlad, not one of the kd's was legit. None of them, NOT ONE (and I'll give a hundred bucks to whoever can prove me wrong) were resultant of Wlad going down from a punch landed by Peter.
Even the commentators said as much. Wlad was either pushed down or was off balance.
In fact he took the best punch Peter has and didn't go down. That massive left hook that usually knocks everyone else out, DIDN"T knock out Wlad. Oh but we forget that when we're belittling him.
Im sure I'll get branded a Wlad nuthugger and possibly a conspiracy theorist for this but I have to say what I feel.Comment

yeah i usually get the same way
but like i told my buddy
i would stand as good a chance at beating ray austin
as ray austin does at beating wladamir klitschko
ill be surprised if this goes 3 rounds...
i cant get over how ray austin thinks hes gonna win cause "hes as tall as klitschko" and i also had to laugh when austins trainer said theyre "about the same weight" which means ray is gonna weigh more cause hes so damn sloppy lookingComment

almost nobody here undertands ******** enough to know how unprecedented that is.... (we're not betting points here) or the magnitude of the betting that would be required to move a betting line that much.....
since that fight happened there has not been one single example of a fighter going from even say 6-1 down to 3-1..... someone would have literally had to bet millions upon millions on lamon brewster
i cannot say without a doubt that the above parapgraph is true... but i study the lines on every single fight that even the smallest books offer a line on and quite honestly have never seen anything like the brewster/klitshcko odds change neither before or after.........Comment

that is correct sir
if you had been "in the know" about brewster/klitschko....
a 1000 bet on lamon would won you 12,000 bucks minus the juice (5%)
very profitable to fix a fight like that wouldnt you say?
right now ray austin is a 10-1 underdog and i can guarantee you that line will not move in austins favor at any point... even if they drugged wlad hed still knock austin out before the effects set inComment

He's trained many, many fighters over the years and trains many now. He's rarely called any of them one of the greatest ever.
I think offensively, he's right. You won't find many heavyweights in history who have a better overall jab, hook and straight right hand than Wlad. Maybe one, but all three? The only problem is his offense is everything, it's his defense, too.
So when a fighter gets past his offense and gets inside he is still a little shaky and he still seems to panic a little, especially early, when he's faced with naked agression. That all stems from Sanders. He may never totally put that fight behind him, even if he continues to win and dominate. Anyone who has watched many of his fights pre- and post-Sanders knows what I mean.
As for someone saying he doesn't want to unify- I don't know if you're that ****** or just hating. That is probably his *main* goal- unification. They practically begged on their hands and knees to make Maskaev Wlad's next fight. Vitali's comeback is going to sideline that for now, it seems...and/or the Peter title shot. They've both wanted to hold simultaneous world titles for years, so it looks like that is the focus now and the main reason for the Vitali comeback. King has the other two belts on lockdown as anyone who has an inkling of how boxing works knows full well.Comment
