Can a HW Champ with no courage be popular?

Klitchko is a great fighter, good defense and offense, good person outside of the ring.

But he has every advantage in the damn book vs Ibragamov and he wont take 1 risk?!

Did you say the same thing when Lewis carefully outboxed Tua in a boring fight for 12 rounds? Or all the times Ali and Holmes fought cautiously and went the distance against weaker opponents than Ibragimov? If Klitschko was lacking in courage, so were they. He minimized his risks and won easily. If it's ok for Floyd Mayweather to fight that way against Baldomir, it's ok here too.

He dominated, and still resorted to ***** tactics like leaning on Sultan and trying to push him down and holding..I think its a combination of Manny and Wlad that is no good. He needs a new trainer.

Wlad "The Cowardly Champ" Klitchko

you forgot stepping on Sultan's right foot to keep sultan from bullrushing him.

I know he fought a smart fight, Im just saying hes not going to get the buzz and popularity he can have EASILY. Also regarding the Tua vs Lewis fight Tua has such power you need to box him and be defensive.


And I hate the way Floyd fights.

i have never seen ali or holmes turn their head like a lil ***** whenever they got hit. Now i know why samuel peter hit wladimir in the back of his head.

lewis did open up his right on Tua and mix things up in that fight, Tua was more dangerous and had a chin, Sultan really isnt known for power and yet Wlad was stiff in there,

This is exciting in comparison,

[NachoMan]

Sultan was outclassed in every department vs Wlad.

An awfully ******* use of the word 'outclassed' IMO.
