    but a high proportion of his knockouts have been against tomato cans.... floyd at lower weights was known as a puncher. Onto the actual topic, well i find it hard to compare the fights. Baldy was the aggressor, coming forward and looking to cut off the ring. Ibragimov was counter punching with wlad holding the centre of the ring. Bladomir was also much bigger than floyd whereas wlad had massive physical advantages over sultan

      The only comparison is the excitement level of the fight, which was caused by the victor fighting a perfect, no-risk fight.

      That's really the only comparison between the two.

      I think if someone has a problem with one, they have to have a problem with the other, because neither Wladimir nor Floyd really put their foot down on the gas to get the other guy out of there.

          Thats true the only comparism has to be the excitement level, Both fighter were wary of taking unnecessary risk in a fight they were winning easily.

            Oh yeah, another comparison...

            no complaints for either fight from any real fan of the sport.

            Only ****ing idiots who expect fighters to sacrifice a win going for a knockout when they are winning by 9 rounds on the scorecards have a problem with fights like that.

              i did yeah.... mostly out of fun and i like to cheer for the underdog, i even said that to IRONSIDE who i bet with. I thought ibragimov could cause him some problems but i didn't anticipate such negativity from both fighters

                I think people are too difficult to people sometimes and Wlad is finding that out now, It would be ****** to risk getting KO in a fight that he was winning by brawling when he didnt need to but its safe to say that Wlad was extremely cautions against Sultan

                  Of all the ways you can describe Brewster, weak-chinned is not one of them.

                    The difference is one is a ****ing heavyweight boxer, and the other is a Welterweight. The level of risk involved in taking a chance at Heavyweight is quadrupled. I didnt read it, but if you really said Brewster has a weak chin then just stop now.

                      I disagree. Mayweather is much more exciting.
