    He did they say they were good wins and good names on his resume after what happened with Austin, but not impressive because both Briggs and Holyfield are past their prime. He said Sultan is fast and has decent power, but he's going to have a tough time getting on the inside because of his size.

      That is probably true, he will likely have a problem getting inside. Ibragimov does not have a small man's style, and he will be facing a much bigger man. But if he uses the whole ring he will certainly give Klitschko some problems. When Klitschko has problems to solve in the ring he has shown in the past that he is likely to fold like a bad poker hand.

        We may not be impressed with Sultan, but at least he wants to unify. He wanted to do it for his very first defense but it fell through. I give him a lot of credit for that even though I don't think he has a snowball's chance to beat Wlad. At least he's not just trying to hold on to an alphabet title and avoid the other champions.

          well,,,,,how dare wald be such an accurate puncher. all his opponents including the elusive chris byrd ( in the first fight) should have just ran around if not out of the ring. how dare them!

            Wlad never said he was not impressed with Sultan, I don't know where that came from. Anyway, this fight will be a walk in the park for Wlad and we will finally have a unified heavyweight champion. After Wlad KO's Sultan, he will most likely face Povetkin in the summer or hopefully Chagaev in a 2nd unification fight.

              I hope he fights Chagaev in the summer.
