If Wladimir was American and black, would he be more accepted as a top heavyweight?

You've seen *Lucky13* present any kind of argument here?

He is a loathsome scavenger. Nothing more.

There is no "argument" to "lose" in pointing that out.

"Loathsome scavenger"

You did it again.

"Loathsome scavenger"

You did it again.

Leave him alone, he's got better things to do, like running his e-clan!

I swear, only in boxing scene.

[*Lucky13*]

You wish.




****wit.

It used to be, when the heavyweight champion was American and black, the American sports media would write articles that helped to build up excitement and anticipation...

But because Wlad is Ukrainian and white, and they know he's better than the best American heavyweight, they have nothing positive to write.

Tunney have been mixed with your comments over time. Sometimes they're intelligent and well informed, other times they're this crap. I hope your intelligence isn't really periods of lucidity. I'm not trying to be inflammatory or rude, but seriously stop posting this type of ignorant garbage and stick to your informed post. It would do you justice if you did.

But the media was never so hard on Larry Holmes or Muhammed Ali. Many of Ali's fights, especially in the 70s when he was Wlad's age, were decision wins and rather boring.

Wlad is not and never will be Ali or Larry Holmes. Lets get realistic here. Ali and Holmes never lost to fighters like Ross Purity,Lamon Brewster or Corrie Sanders in their primes. And those were all KO losses for Wlad.By the same token,Gerry Cooney split the purse 20 million dollar purse with Larry Holmes without earning it in the ring. He also graced the cover of major magazines although Holmes was the champ. It's not a disadvantage to be a white heavyweight and never has been.

Wlad is the baddest man on the planet.
