THE CONSPIRACY BEHIND WLAD'S POOR last night's PERFORMANCE

[lennon]

someone slipped a punch inhibiter into Wlads water bottle pre fight!

[Welter_Skelter]

wow its kind of astonishing how far people will stretch to see the good in a fighter they love.... its hard to separate emotions from facts but the truth is that wlad is not as good as many here WANT to believe. Thats not hating on the guy, its just saying it how it is

Wow it's kind of ashtonishing how far people will stretch the bad in a fighter they hate.. It's hard to sperate emotions facts but the truth is Wlad is not as **** as some people WANT to believe.. that's not nuthugging on the guy.. It's just saying how it is..

2 true some cant get over it.

[SkillspayBills]

Talk about grasping for straws. Look how vehemently Wlad was talking about "not having any bouts going 12 rounds anymore" Ib was a difficult opponent for him to figure out, plain and simple.

wow did you think that up all by yourself?

listen up. I'm not saying wlad is ****, far from it. He's a solid fighter with some excellent attributes. But the amount of excuses for wlad over the years is becoming ridiculous. Name me one elite fighter that wlad has beaten which leads anyone here to think he could live with any of the top 10 ATG heavyweights as has been suggested by numerous guys on this site? Hell, if your struggling to figure out ibragimov and you rarely throw a combination for fear of being hit then you have limitations

I personally think that maybe Wlad looked at it that way, somewhat. He probably realized he could get by with an easy win on his jab alone after a few rounds, and getting an easy W sets him up for the unification later this year. He'll spank Chagaev or Valuev if you ask me.

[Hitman932]

We all know Wlad wants to unify the belts, with that said, that only leaves Chagaev as a the next step. (Brother Vitali is in line for the WBC and Wlad wants no part of it)

Chagaev is a similar in size to Ibragimov, also a Southpaw.. now think about it, if Wlad was to brutally dismantle Sultan, would Chagaev want any part of Wlad? I think not.. he will be trying to hold on to his dear belt harder than he does now and for as long as he can.

I think Wlad's better chances to unify with the WBA if Valuev wins the rematch.


So Wlad had to look scared, he had to look vulnerable, and he had to put his offence arsenal on hold and to look beatable. All that not to scare potential future match ups. :

i have the same kind of conspiracy theory about the first MAyweather/DLH fight......i thought mayweather intentionally kept the fight close and let DLH win some early rounds just so they could justify a rematch and a safe payday for each other down the line. My conspiracy theory even goes as far as to believe the judge who gave the fight to DLH was given a nice little chunk of change to score the fight in oscars favor.

All very possible...

there is lot of undisclosed negotiations taking place and under the table deals that we don't know about.

That DLH/Sturm --> DLH/Hopkins --> Hopkins making partner had "all planed" written all over it

[revs1227]

how about he just fought a tough oppenent ...he wa sthe champ u no ...

[Addison]

I think its more that Wlad just isnt that good. (comparitivly to other heavyweights in history)
The fact that there are conspiricy's behind each of his losses is sad.
Basiclly, he put on a ****ty performance, but to consider that he did so on purpose is just nuts.

See, I'm sorry that people would get this impression..

What I see in Wladimir is a great athlete with ability, speed, power.. Everything a top fighter needs. His mental stuff is the problem.

Physically he's a fantastic specimen. When he was throwing and going after Sultan he was running right over him - and Sultan Ibragimov is an excellent heavyweight despite how easy Klitchsko made it look.

It's still a great win for a damn good heavyweight.
