Wladi***** has to fight Peter if he want's to be #1 IBF. Will he man up?

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I laughed my ass off when I read this news. Still smiling just thinking about Wlad fighting Sam Peter. LMAO!!!

Klitschko fans and non-fans that think Klitschko stands a chance, you do realize that Wlad was KENTUCKEY FRIED by this guy


and don't forget Wlad's Lament...or Lamon


Peter is hungry. Wlad fights scared now. If a 38 year old knocked him out in 2 rounds when everybody thought Wlad would beat Lewis (like idiots), then what's the stronger 24 year old going to do to him?

Yes, a 38 year old...

Wlad needed a reality check and sanders gave it to him.. BIG TIME... It will still take a long time for Wlad to recover from the sanders loss who exposed his weakness.

But when Wlad will overcome his fear, I believe it would make him a better fighter.
If Wlad was to fight Sanders in a rematch (not taking Sanders aging into consideration) I believe Wlad would win 9 out of 10 times playing that same strategy Vitali used to beat Sanders.

Wlad has a much better speed and reflexes than Vitali and in a cautious tactic that Vitali used against Sanders, Sanders was unable to land anything big.

I tired the link and it would not work, your right I have not seen the fight since it first aired...but I do know this...

He started getting winded for 1 and for 2 he could not take care of a glass jawed severly undersized HW. Had he have fought anyone any good that night it would have been lights out.(who kows what happens if the fight does not get stopped)

I am all for defending Vitaly Klitchko, the guy has a beard and I love a fighter who can take just as good as he can give. Unfortunately for Wlad he cant take ****, there is a disconnect in him when he gets hit, he looks like a fish out of water and I dont think any amount of training will change this fatal flaw...we will see when her gets popped good in the chin now wont we?

If you think he looked good against Williamson, a fighter he would have beaten pre-sanders in 45 seconds then you need to watch old wlad when he was right because you will never see that guy again, he is all thru, he has the fear!

(this coming from a guy who thought he was the next big thing)...when you smell cat piss on your pillow case you cant turn your head, you cant spray some fruity sent in the air and call it good and you sure as hell cant wash it and hope everything is cool...you know what you do....you throw the ****ing pillow case away!

Son, it is time you forget about Wlad and turn to his brother, if you like the Klitchkos I think VK is pretty solid...Wlad however he is a pllow case infested with cat piss...sorry?

Yes he didnt look as good against Williamson as he did against Castillo, but I think he just wasnt expecting him to run from him the whole fight. In my eyes it sure as hell wasnt a "bad" fight for him. Wasnt great, but wasnt some disaster either.

I watched him since he started mate. Im Ukrainian and watched him back home when he still looked like a high school kid. And I never really liked him over his brother. His brother is just a tougher man. Period.

But he's still young and as you say if you watch his old fights he's not the same as he has been. He changed after the golfer knocked him out and he moved to America with a new trainer trying to adapt to a different style of fighting. Its not like he's too old to be what he used to be, he's still young, he just needs to work a bit harder to get it back.

I think he will regain his confidence and have some very good an entertaining fights, he has great skill and power, he just doesnt have the mentality for the game yet. And as I stated before, I need to see him get punched in that chin of his a few more times to make any solid statemnts about it. So far in my view the only thing he has going against him at the moment is his mental tougness which he is lacking, but can surely regain.

He needs some time.

No way Wlad signs against Peter, no way in hell. Wlad is far to protected to be servrd up to Peter.

This whole "Wlad getting KO'ed" and "Weak chin" thing is blown way out of proportion. He does have some question marks, but his career isn't over and he doesn't "suck" just because he got KO'ed. Those that keep saying he's no good because he got KO'ed, don't know a thing about boxing.

1st, Sanders is a much bigger puncher than Wlad critics are willing to admit. In fact, Sanders had enough power to KO practically anyone in the division. I don't want to hear about how Sanders "didn't KO this guy" or "that guy". That's all BS. There are too many variables why he didn't KO all his opponents. One thing is for sure, If Sanders landed a clean shot on anyone like he did on Wlad, they would've gotten KO'ed too.

In his fight with Brewster, It clearly had nothing to do with his "chin". Everyone knows it, and I will leave it at that.

The fact that all the haters keep bringing up that Wlad got knocked down by Williamson, is just a joke. I bet they can't even type that and keep a straight face. It's just rhetoric and they know that knock down was nothing.

Wlad getting KO'ed means nothing. He can still succeed and become a great champion. Some of the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport have gotten KO'ed.

Here is a list of some of those boxers.

Muhammad Ali
Ezzard Charles
Jimmy Bivins
Joe Louis
Floyd Patterson
Evander Holyfield
Jersey Joe Walcott
Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Jack Sharkey
George Foreman
Max Baer
Johnny Risko
Sonny Liston
Max Schmeling
Primo Carnera
Larry Holmes
Joe Frazier
Bob Satterfield
Michael Spinks
Nino Valdes
Lee Q Murray

And many ......many more. In fact, It's a lot harder to find those that didn't get KO'ed. Any boxer can, and most likely will get KO'ed. It's the nature of the sport. So what does it mean that Wlad got KO'ed? Nothing.

Wlad was KOed in his prime though, and by significantly "inferior" (well were supposed to be) fighters. A lot of the Brewster KO had to do with stamina, but some of it had to do with the fact that Brewster was tagging him with really hard left hooks right on the button too.

I agree that it may be a bit blown out of proportion that Wlad can't take any punch, but a guy like Peter has Brewster/Sanders power, and hes very hungry. It'd just be a scary fight for Wlad to know that Peter is packing that kind of potential...he'd really have to fight a top notch fight to keep Sam off of him.

[hairyflex]

Wlad is over rated he will not fight Peter, he is just like his brother. OVER PROTECTED.

[Sir_Jose]

Sam Peter is gonna do some very bad things to Wlad. Its not so much Wlad's chin its the fact he's lost all confidence in himself thats the problem. He' sobviously fighting scared now.

There is no reason whatsoever for a guy the talent of Wlad to have lost to Ross Purity, Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster. Dont forget him getting dropped by Touch Of Sleep awsell.

Peter KO 5.

I agree. I also think that Wlad is very capable of that "top notch fight".

???????????????????

The fact that someone would try to defend being knocked down by a 3rd rate fighter is the real joke.
