Wladimir's showing

[guru]

you said "whenever he fights a puncher he gets KO'd", you can make all the excuses for them you want, but wlad has fought and beaten some guys that could punch.... mccline dropped byrd, who takes a great punch... jefferson was washed up?? thats weak.... mercer was old, but could still punch...

[Kimmy]

Mercer couldn`t punch at world level anymore when Wlad thought him. He didn`t have the speed or spring in his punches to catch Wlad.
Jefferson isn`t world class, he is a journeyman who can **** but a journeyman non the less.
If you look closey at his opponents, Wlad hasn`t fought many world class punchers.
Axel Schulz (no punch )
Chris Byrd ( no punch )
Derrick Jefferson ( not much skill to land the punch )
Botha ( no punch )
Mercer ( in his 40`s and shot )
McCline ( never a puncher of note )
Corrie Sanders ( OUCH )
Lamon Brewster ( OUCH )
Darrayl Williamson ( OUCH but saved by the scorecard on tech dec! )

See the picture here?

thats my point, why does wlad coming off of two losses catch flack for fighting castillo, while mccline and barrett catch no flack for fighting beck and boswell, which leads to them getting title shots or ranked as contenders?? wlad is allowed a mediorce opponent after the brewster disaster.... he should be given praise for taking a guy better than boswell or beck, who mccline and barrett fought without coimng off a loss.... and even worse example is that nobody has gotten on rahman's case for all the BUMS he's fought in the last 2 years....

that's a pretty ****in good point, guru. Nice post.

I couldn't make an assesment cause his opponent refused to throw punches and ran all night.

Guru & GranTorino.....


He catches flack because he is a higher-profile fighter than the other two, & because he still has people who believe he's destined for great things.
Neither of those two got an HBO main event with their bouts against scrubs, did they ? Wlad did.

Yet, Boswell vs. McCline and Barrett vs. Beck were both televised on Showtime.

Right.....a DUAL card.....& on the lesser network.


O.K. ...if my reasoning didn't answer Guru's question.....then what is the answer ?

Oh yes....the world just hates the Klits, & for no reason. The poor, put-upon Klits & their long-suffering fans.
When will the "hating" stop ?
