Wlad does not deserve a title shot!

[vB Martin]

If he gets a resounding and uncontroversial win over a guy like Whitaker...

Mebbe Pernell Whitaker...

Mebbe Pernell Whitaker...

....Come on VB, why such hate for a guy like Wlad? Super nice guy with offensive weapons like no other heavy in the last 20 years. He is only 29 years old and has only been hurt by a punch once in his career. Out of gas against Purrity and Brewster and only truly hurt against Sanders. If he had taken Brewster out when he had him hurt none of the Wlad bashing would be going on right now. The guy gets one more chance IMO. You almost seem like a disgruntled woman when it comes to Wlad. Did you like him at one time and his failures pissed you off so bad that now you hate him? After the Mercer fight I just knew Lennox was ****ting his panties about having to fight Wlad. When he destroyed Mercer I thought the guy was gonna take the heavies by storm. Lennox was the happiest guy in the world when Sanders took him out and the fact that he called Sanders before the fight to encourage him and give him advice just shows how scared he was of Wlad. He probably ran straight to the bathroom to stroke his **** in happiness in not having to face Wlad as the public would have demanded. I like Wlad alot but I understand some of the criticism. What I don't understand is utter hatred for a guy like him. Give him a ****in break already. Hate a **** like Byrd or Ruiz but get off of Wlad's case already.

At least not at this point. If you would have asked me what I thought of Wlad before he fought Sanders I would have told you, "He is the number one heavyweight contendor and deserves a crack at Lennox Lewis." After some recent ****ty performnaces I would say that he doesn't even deserved to be ranked in the top 10.

For him to make Byrd come to Germany is insane. Is Wlad living in a dream world? Does he not realize how awful he has looked in his last 2 fights? This guy does not deserve to fight Byrd let alone make the rediculous demand.

This is the problem, he and his fans and backers are living off Wlad's past glories and success. If he gets a resounding and uncontroversial win over a guy like Whitaker,or Sanders in a rematch, or even TOS in a rematch, then maybe I will say that he should get a title shot.

But as of right now, I don't think he does...

Who besides Wlad, who isn't tied into another fight deserves a title shot? Like Danny Williams before him there is no one, and Wlad is the highest IBF fighter available.

Your right, Wlad does have the best shot at beating Byrd. In fact he probably will beat him. Like I've said before Byrd's style is tailor made for Wlad, plus Byrd punches about as hard as I do, lol.

If this fight takes place, and he wins, he'll have to fight guy who can punch(thats everybody in the division except Byrd.)What I'm trying to say is that even if Wlad wins,his reign as IBF champion will be short unless he somehow miracously gains an ability to take a punch and learn how to pull the trigger again like he used to.

Not necessarily. He could make his first title defense against another soft hitter like Barrett.

I don't hate him. I am disappointed that he turned out to have such a weak chin, but that's not even the reason I go against him now.

Against Sanders, he could have said, "****! That guy can punch!!!" but we got excuses instead.

Against Brewster he could have said, "I underestimated his toughness. I thought I could get him out early, but I went in with a bad gameplan and paid for it." Again, we got excuses instead.

That's also the reason for my Pac sig.

The thing I hate about excuses is that they take away from the other fighter's accomplishment.

Sanders did something that many people thought couldn't be done, and he did it in spectacular fashion.

Brewster weathered a HUGE beating for half a fight, taking BRUTAL punishment, but still managed to KO a much better, more skilled fighter in spectacular fashion.

JMM endured a brutal 1 st rd, and came back to absolutely dominate the rest of the fight.

Excuses take away these accomplishments. Be a man and say you got your ass kicked and will do better the next time.

If Wlad can come back and fight someone with pop and survive, I will revise my opinion of him. If he loses to someone he should dominate and gives them props, I will revise my opinion of him. Until then he will remain an overrated guy who coulda been.

Monte Barret. He is a way more deserving challenger than Wlad. Byrd is not in a mandatory defense period for his title so Wlad being ranked high doesn't mean ****.

he was drugged vs brewster

You got any proof? Didn't think so, so shut the **** up with that bull****.

This is another characteristic of Wlad fans like you, its like its never Wlad's fault, its like he can do no wrong, get ****ing real!
