[lennon]

5:00 P.M. on a Saturday. No one knows who Chagaev is anyway. No one really cares for Wlad either to be honest. And it was on Classic, not regular ESPN.

Oh yeah and was there an ad for the fight at all? Did people even know it was on Classic? I go on this board for news every day and I din't know it was on Classic until a few days before the fight.

The fact of the matter is that Klit is boring and its not worth watching him dominate a guy he should and could have knocked out in 1-3 rounds.

When Tyson fought a nobody, he took care of business early and very often! People(casual and hardcore fans) would turn in because he didnt waste time, handled his business and had his opponent KTFO like THE Heavyweight Champ is supposed to do.

Did you watch the fight at all? Wlad landed several full-blooded rights and Chagaev didn't even blink. KO'ed in 1-3 rounds?

Tyson was in several stinkers. It's a testament to your lack of boxing knowledge that you can post what you just did. And if Tyson, as you say, KTFO underserving opponents like a true champ, then it can only mean that Holmes, Ali, Lewis etc. is in very low regard in your book.

GTFO.

Funny post there mr knowledgeable....i tried to watch the fight as i have many of his hoping for some kind of excitement to happen(because god knows the hw's need it), but as is the case most of the time, i started to fall asleep through most of it. The fact that Klit didnt even go for the kill after the kd and still looked scared in there told me what i have already known about klit. He's scared because he's still chinny, wont ever be exciting(unless and thats a big unless, he's fighting an aggressive fighter who takes the fight to him) especially when fighting these softies and eventhough he is dominant and THE hw champ, he still brings no excitement or interest to the casual fan.

Can you honsetly say that was an exciting fight? or is your bias and manlove for the hardbodied ukranian blinding you?

And you insulting my boxing knowledge is hilarious! I stated my opinion on the fight, dont get insulted cause i didnt enjoy the glorified sparring session.

And yes Tyson was in some stinkers, but was in WAY more exciting fights than klit will ever dream of being in.

And as for all of those greats you mentioned, They **** all over both Klits(no nasty sexual pun intended).

bat that was one of the most painful and boring fights I have ever watched seriously. Also against Ibraginov he stunk out the joint really Bat. You can hardily compare Tyson to Wlad. There was always excitment when was in ring.We used to bet on what round Tyson was going to knock out his opponent when Wlad fights I bet what round I am going to turn off the fight or fall asleep....Lefty

You said a true champion gets underserving opponents out quick. So Ali must be underserving with all those lacklustre points wins. The same goes for Holmes and arguably any other HW champ in history.

And here we have Wlad who fights a legit contender in Chagaev, who was anything but underserving, with an iron chin and he is suddenly called whathaveyou because he didn't finish him in 3.

Sorry mister. You fail.

PS: Wlad is scared????? GTFO.

Time heals everthing lefty. It must have dimmed your memory of the Bonecrusher and Tucker fights.

BAT lets say he is aware that his chin is not made of Steele like his right hand is.....he fights overly cautious and never seems to go in for th ekill when he has his man hurt. He is bring to watch jab jab jab jab jab jab right hand jab jab jab jab jab jab right hand He never goes to the body throws a hook or an upper cut....It is just very slow paced and non action.....He is talented no doubt but I rather watch Mike Tyson loose to Kevin McBride 100 times then watch that fight again ever....Lefty

BAT Bone Crusher and Tucker fights remember he was still very young when he fought those guys like what 20-21......Also you can pick out two fights out of 60??? I can pick 4 fights out of Wlads last 4 that were stinkers Chagaev I rather get my teeth pulled than rewatch that fight....Rahman that was a joke Thompson it took him 11 rounds to get that stiff out of there???? Ibraginov WOW that is all I am going to say about that fight..Lefty

Lefty as always I respect your opinion. I disagree stenously that Wlad could have taken him out much earlier though.

Chagaev was never really hurt. Not even on the KD. Later in the fight Wlad landed several rights at full throttle and chagaev just took them like it was a flyswatter.
