New David Haye picture

I wasn't comparing the styles, i was showing what a prime Mercer was like instead of an old washed up version. You need to revisit Mercer. He could jab his way in and go to the body effectively, just like he did in his fight with Lennox Lewis. That was when he was at 100%. Are you telling me that Lamon Brewster could get on the inside but Mercer can't?

Look, you're like sixteen years old and don't understand that the Klitschko that fought Brewster was different than the Klitschko of today. I know all about Mercer. Great fighter, and I loved his jab, it was his best tool. But Klitschko would knock him out, today's Klitschko, vs any version of Mercer, if not win a UD...
It's a style thing, I don't see any infighter heavyweight of the last 20 years getting inside on Klitschko, except for possibly Iron Mike or James Toney, but I would still pick Klitschko to defeat bothComment

That was the same Klitschko. Since then, he has not seen an effective pressure fighter that brought as much pressure as Brewster has and Tony Thompson was even getting on the inside of Wlad. He is uncomfortable at infighting and makes the wrong decisions when pressured. The reason why he hsn't hasn't been in any high volume fightd is because of the quality of opposition. You are severely underestimating a prime Mercer. Lennox Lewis could do everything that Wlad does and even more and yet won a some what contrversial decisin against him. A young Mercer was too strong, has too good of a chin and would out last Wlad.I know all about Mercer. Great fighter, and I loved his jab, it was his best tool.

Wlad is too clumbsy and cannot fight going backward, which is why a prime Tyson and prime Mercer would destroy him. I use to believe that Wlad would beat Tyson, but after seeing how he reacts to being pressured in everyone of his fights where he was, i changed my mind.Last edited by slicksouthpaw16; 08-20-2008, 08:25 PM.Comment

Same Klitschko? No. But it's cool, we were all young and blind once.That was the same Klitschko.

But whatever, I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about it, to each their own.Comment

Thats all you could come up with? Look at that opposition that Wlad is fighting and look at the opposition that Mercer WAS fighting? Mercer has beaten better fighters that Wlad has lost to. Sanders? Brewster? Purity? Enough said. Again i like Klitschko, but hes not great and wouldn't last in the 90's.
Don't let the quality of opposition fool you. Wlad is still the same fighter as he was when he lost to Brewster and never rematched THAT version of Brewster.Comment

When you're lean, you dont walk around with veins popping out, have a drink of N.O Explode and hit the heavy bag for a couple of rounds, and you will see. It looks like Haye is fresh off the bag, N.O makes you vascular like thatComment
