Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward is Not Worried About Klitschko vs Peter

Gee, yet that style worked so well for Ali -- though Ali only KO'd 60% of his opponents, while Wlad KO's 84% of them.

You must have been bored by Lennox, too, since Manny had him fight the same way Wlad does now.

No i respect that he is good his fighting style in different -
he uses distance to control a fight if your at arms length he will jab you to death so you need to close the distance but when you do he will constantly TIE you up .....and it goes on until he wears them down - also he likes to lean on you aswell !!!

You sad c*nt comparing Wlad to Ali
Wlad aint good enought to carry Ali kit bag or Lennox Lewis

Ali is overrated: the ******* media has made him into a black saint
who is not to be criticized. Personally, I never liked him and I
still don't. And he did struggle against some not very good fighters,
like Chucky Wepner, who even knocked him down.

Lennox Lewis: the guy who got KO'd, knocked COLD, by journeymen
like Hasim Rahman and Oliver "Crack Baby" McCall? That Lennox Lewis?

Piss off you British prick.

Though Peter is still a very dangerous puncher and far from shot, Steward has a right not to be worried about him. Firstly, as someone already mentioned, two of the three knockdowns Peter got in the first fight came from illegal punches to the back of the head. Secondly, aside from those 'knockdowns' Wlad basically outboxed Peter the whole fight. Thirdly, the current Wlad is about as far from the fighter in 2005 as you can get. He barely ever gets tagged clean, and when he does has showed an improved ability to recover from the shot. I see very little chance for Peter in this fight, but respect the hell out of him for even going in there with a Klit for the third time.

I'm thinking this will be something like thier first fight, only with Wlad not getting knocked down. His defense just gets better and better.
