Wlad is the best HW by far

[PBDS]

Think Wlad was better off with Fritzy Sdunek. But if Wlad wins this fight in impressive fashion. I will change my opinion. I think the only reason he left Fritzy is because he is under contract to only train universum promoted fighters.

.....People want to bash the whole Wlad/Manny relationship and at first they were probably right. However, they seem to be on the same page now so I will also reserve judgement like you are. Certain people like to downplay the Castillo win but the guy had just beaten Michael Moorer and there were a number of posters on here saying that he had a better than even chance to beat Wlad. Wlad looked smoother, faster, and more focused in that fight. His body language was great and his weight was down a little. The Peter fight will tell us all we need to know about Wlad and his future with Manny.

I thought that Castillo was a very dangerous opponent. He had completely dominated Moorer who then went to KO Jirov.

In fact many people thought Castillo was going to easily beat Wlad -- see http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=33874.

Wlad's dominance and win over Castillo were very impressive.

yeah, there will always be haters that try to down others, rap up some lyrical lies to make them look silly, decide who's a 'legitimate boxing fan',or even turn an eye to something that is obviously true.
Manny Stewart might not be the best at what he does, as that can be considered an opinion, where haters get their fair chance to stink up the place. BUT Manny has been doing it for a while, and part of his job is to be a scout selecting the proper talent for what he envisions doing. He selected Wlad, even with the circumstances. So either Manny's lost it, he's made a bad decision (obviously possible), or it just hasn't unfolded yet and there is more good things to see from Wlad.

....Some of the smarter haters won't go out on a limb and talk up Wlad's opponents because they know that if they do they will have some "splaining" to do when Wlad wins. They will talk about imaginary opponents for Wlad/Vitali but if those fights are ever announced then those imaginary opponents will cease to be important and they will suddenly have all sorts of flaws.

Wlad could have Sdunek against Peter and he's still getting KTFO!

The Castillo brothers suck. I knew they didnt have the athleticism to do anything to Wlad. Thats why he was chosen. The fight was extremely boring and neither looked good in the fight.

Might I add, not one of Wlad's punches in his final flurry landed? Can you say payday for Castillo?

I'll have to watch the fight again, but I do remember the straight right punch that knocked him down, It was a real ko punch!

Wlad is the biggest , goofiest , lankiest , unsteady , perpetrator in the HW division or is that Valuev?

Wlad is fighting Peter in a IBF WBO title eliminator, Valuev is undefeated and on his away to bigger and better things, hmmmm they dont sound like perpetrators to me.....

[Leo Pradun]

His downfall was Sanders left hand on his face. Any heavy handed fighter that lands flush on Vlad is gonna' floor that boy. Sanders exposed the Ukranians chin and anybody else that can reach it will have success.

No thats all bs man, his chin isnt very good I know but the above statement is full of ****...

hmmmm no, he is Vitalis trainer and Vitali isnt a universium boxer he is fighting for his own company K2...
