I think he is going to give wlad some problems at least for a while. sultan isnt that easy to hit when he's moving like mayweather has him doing now. it probably will only be a matter of time though before one of those left or right hand missles of wlad detonates on sultans chin,,,then its fight over unless sultan can really catch him walking in as sanders did with that southpaw straight left
Ibragimov vs Wlad- who do you want to win?

for the record, i dont want valuev/wlad because it would be the "best" fight
i just think it would generate way more interest from non-fans than any other matchup.
since wlad will have already become unified champ i think that a matchup with valuev would be the best for the popularity of the division.
nobody who doesent already watch boxing will have interest in lyakovich, even though he is a good deserving fighter he just is not going to become a household name.
once wlad has beaten valuev his popularity will have grown to the point in america where people will tune in to see him fight the chagaevs, povetkins, dimitrenkos and lyakovichs of the world
wlad is the ONLY heavy with worldwide appeal right nowComment

I dont see Valuev getting passed Lyko. Valuev is too slow I pick Lyko by late stoppage or decisionComment

lyakovich was physically intimidated by shannon briggs to the point where he crapped his pants into getting knocked out
by guess is he will freeze up like a snowman against valuev.
briggs= total bum, knocked lyakovich out of the ring
valuev= better than briggsComment

Lyakhovich came into the Briggs fight sick and fatigued, he was lethargic and his handspeed wasn't there. Sergei was intimidated because Briggs is a musclebound scary looking dude and he also has devastating 1 punch KO power. That was not a motivated Lyakhovich, he looked nothing like the fighter who went to war with Brewster and dominated.
I don't think Lyakhovich will be intimidated by Valuev, Valuev is very slow and he isn't a big puncher. I don't think Sergei will be able to stop the iron chinned Valuev, but I can see him winning a UD/SD, Lyakhovich is very underrated, he has great footwork for a big man and a ******* jab.Last edited by WLAD OWNS; 12-05-2007, 09:03 PM.Comment

Lets remember that Lyko was winning the fight all he had to do was stay away. Valuev is too slow and Lyko has good handspeed, I dont believe his fight with Briggs defines him. Im not impressed with Valuev and never have been. A guy of his size should be blowing people out, he doesnt have the power he should have for his sizeComment

Don't forget that Lyakovich was comfortably ahead on all the scorecards until what 20 sec left in the fight. Even with the knockdown, he still would have won. Valuev doesn't have Briggs' power.Comment
