Steward quote about Wlad.

[GranTorino]

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.

King just needs to ****ing DIE already.

And yet Byrd got hit NON stop in 2 fights with Kilts and couldn't land ****..
The rest of what you typed.. is what you wish.. NOT reality...
And I refuse to comment on it any further.. The stuff I highlighted says All I need to say..

Well W.Klit got hit nonstop and KOed by Sanders and gassed, collapsed and was KOed by Brewster, he barley escaped a loss to Davaryl Williamson when he was gassing and dropped, he was dropped 3 times by Sam Peter (Toney was only dropped once in two fights with Wlad because he actually has skill and can slip punches like I said) and literally held on for dear life to win. It brutally batted Bryd landing more than anybody has but he couldnt knock Byrd out. This stuf says all I need to say.

Wlad is a good havyweight champ, but he is not a great one. his chin is ok, but i remember in one of the early round's against brewster he got hurt by a brewster left jab.

[GranTorino]

It's gonna be ugly, and it's gonna be quick. Wlad by KO no later than the 5th.

[The Lodger]

A fine physical specimen, with a lot of skills and power, no question about that. I think some of the praising goes over the top though. Unfortunate or not, he has a weak side to him, one which will probably never go away. He has three losses on his record, none of which have been avenged. He has work to do to before truly big things can be said about him; I don't think he'll ever be mentioned up there with the best though.

The reality is, his only loss that would be worth avenging is to Brewster, Purity is history and Sanders is 41 years old and grossly out of shape.
