Tony Thompson: The Last American Heavyweight Hope??

[The Hammer]

Those Eastern European fighters are so good that one of them might one day be ranked in the top 20 p4p.

Not by the racist American media.

wlad hasnt improved he has just learnt to hold and throw less punches other than that i see no improvment

he uses his jab much more and improved his footwork

lol,,one of them is already in the top 10 or 12 on most lists moron

Wlad has improved and Peter hasn't?

are you serious? have you seen peter's last 2 fights? he was down 3 times and barely squeaked by a shot mccline and was hurt by slow motion punches thrown by an old shot maskeav. he's regressed in my opinion

Don't start throwing insults around just because most people don't suck Wlad's balls as hard as you.

Of the 5 boxing sites I visit, 4 do not have Wlad in the top 10. Looks like you're wrong...

But Wlad spent his last fight praying he didn't get hit by accidentally throwing a right hand. Has Wlad regressed?

I don't mind Wladimir Klitschko, or even Vitali for that matter but their crazy racist fans really sicken me. And this concept of the reason Wlad isn't ranked being the "Racist American media" is laughable. The p4p top ten contains black fighters, white fighters, hispanic fighters and a filipino. Wlad isn't a p4p ranked fighter because he relies on his height and relative size to win and if you removed those size based advantages he wouldn't be nearly as successful.

Who cares what those sites say??...Those are OPINIONS....Tons of people have Wlad in the top 10 p4p....Wlad is one of the most talented fighters in boxing, he dominates his opponents and KO's most of them (50 wins, 44 KO's)

All p4p lists are opinions. Call it meaningless if you want, but that's what we were discussing. However talented he is, most people do not have in the top 10 p4p.

Imagine this:

Thompson knocks Wlad out early in a shocker claiming the IBF/WBO titles.

Vitali knocks Peter out for the WBC late this year.

Vitali and Thompson fight and Vitali knocks Thompson out to unify 3 titles.

1 year from now, Vit is undisputed champ and Wlad is disgraced and out of boxing...

eastern europe is dominating the amateurs along with cuba as well. mostly the higher weight divs but several in the lower weight divs too. these guys are very dedicated and they are good fighters. it just shows that anyone can be good at boxing.
