    Opinion on Sultan Ibragimov?

    What you guys think about him?

    He is one of my favorite fighters right now so i am curious to see how others feel about him.
    I think he has skill and a better chance then most to beat Klitschko but would fairly be the underdog.

    The reason i ask is he is the reason because of my issues with you know which site and why exactly i left.

    I don't rate him as highly as I rate Chagaev. I don't know who will win that fight head to head, but Chagaev I give a chance against Peter, and I think he could make a Wlad fight interesting. Ibragimov on the other hand I can't picture being competitive in those potential bouts.

    One thing I'll say is he looked faster in the Briggs fight than I thought he was, but that could be Briggs.

      Sultan Ibragimov is a classy boxer in every respect and a credit to his sport!

      He has decent power and good hand speed, and he seems like a smart fighter. I was impressed with the wins over Lance Whitaker and Shannon Briggs, both much bigger men. He actually got Whitaker to quit (although it was officially a TKO) after knocking him down three times.

      Sultan has the record for fastest KO ever at Madison Square Gardens, over Javier Mora: 46 seconds.

      Here's an excellent Sultan Ibragimov video:

        at any other date in time he'd be considered a lackey clubfighter. but in this time in history with all the clowns like the klitmos and peters in the hvwt division , he has a chance.

          I like His agressive nature.. he has decent power.. and a decent heart..

          Now I have seen exactly 2 of his fights..
          Against Goofy Whitaker.. and Ray Austin.. What I see is a slightly above average Boxer.. with a great additude.. But one that doesnt apply the same additude to his training..
          And one that will most likely be a former belt holder VERY soon..

              He had a lot of potential to be the most exciting fighter since Tyson untill he got with Mayweather!

                  Yeah I know that but I'm talking about how aggressive and straight forward Sultan was before when he tko'd everyone and now he is scraping by with draws and just ok wins. If he wants to have any chance against Wladdy he has to bumrush him ala Corrie Sanders or pre Mayweather Iggy. I think he will handle Chagaev pretty easily if he is aggressive.

                  Good to talk to you Easy, I haven't been on as much lately...

                    sir, sultan has fought third and fourth tier types all his life. chagaev with his amatuer background imo will have the upperhand against this third tier boy.
