I don't understand a lot of the hate on this site towards Wlad, to me he is a world class boxer and the closest thing to Ali I have seen.

Does anyone else see the resemblance?

**** me!! I've just remembered why I had pretty much stopped coming here

[RightCross94]

That thought went through my mind during the fight with Chagaev.

Wlad was in control for nearly every second, anticipating what his opponent would do, just like Ali was in many of his fights.

i suppose in that sense you may be justified, but style wise and ability wise no way is wlad similar to ali

[RightCross94]

knn you are a moron and a disgrace

It would be like compairinf sprinters of then and now...

A one-legged slow sprinter is a one-legged sprinter (half-blind featherfist Frazier).

A 34-19 boxer is a bum now and then (Jimmy Young).

but what we can look at is thier time and the tallent pool they came from.

They probably mostly came from some malfunctioning background (slums, disrupted families etc). How would that be better than nowadays?

Back in that day they fought for 1 belt today they fight all over...

That's why a unified champ nowadays is so much more worth than back then.

back in the day boxing was wildly more popular...

That's why Wlad doesn't want to do PPV. Because PPV kills boxing.

Look at what Wlad has done and who his rivals are within his tallent pool.

Half of his opponents would walk through Ali's opponents. With maybe 2 or 3 exceptions like Lyle, Foreman and Chuvalo.

There isn't really anyone there

Because Wlad cleaned out the division.

and his brother won't figt him to unify the belts (we all know who would win that bout...)

Noone knows who would win that bout. Wlad's record is approx. twice as good as Vitali's. If you think that Wlad would pose no problem for Vitali then I think you are mistaken. But that's pure speculation on my part and on your part.

Ali fought and yeah fought and lost too but his tallent pool was far far superior to this generations.

I disagree. Ali's era was filled with former cruisers and sub-cruisers. His opponents wouldn't start boxing nowadays because they'd know they had no chance against nowadays heavies.

Let me repeat what I wrote in another post:

Just the fact alone that a guy with Parkinson (Ali) fights a chinny featherfisty 6-0 bum (Spinks) for the heavyweight world title shows you the real state of the HW division in the 70ies.

This is OBVIOUSLY and OBJECTIVELY so much worse than nowadays division that I don't need to elaborate.

I have yet to make up my mind what is actually worse: That a 6-0 bum WINS against a champ with Parkinson, or that the champ with Parkinson wins against the bum in the rematch.

Wow bro..have you ever seen Ali fight....

Yes, I saw him. 60ies cruiser cassius was fast, but later Muhammad Ali was the Sam Peter of the 70ies.

He was amazing he moved so agile and quick and had lighting fast hands and power..

He had fast hands like Chris Byrd and a lower KOratio than Chris Byrd.

hes superior to Wlad on every level and would box his heads off is shoulders if they ever fougt.

Ali is superior to Wlad in the areas of

• Trashtalking
• Dirty clinching
• Getting hit in the face

Other than that Ali is superior in the areas of

• Failing to keep his opponents at bay
• Throwing powder punches
• Being overweight

If you disagree then name fight & round where 1) Ali is 200+ 2) his opponent is 200+ 3) 70ies 4) it's not anyone from my sig
