Originally posted by It's Ovah View PostLike I said, if Wach gets a shot it wouldn't be the first time an underserving or untalented challenger got one. But like I also said, I hold Wlad to a higher standard than that. One of the things which makes me respect Wlad, despite not really having any massive wins on his resume, is the fact that his opponents are almost always the best guys around; he maintains a very high standard and has never, to my knowledge, ducked a worthy challenger. Wach is just, how can I put this tactfully, fekkin' awful. His jab is the slowest, most pathetic jab I've seen in many a decade. It would be an embarrassment to put him in the same ring as Wlad. I'd honestly rather see Wlad fight a novice like Price, who at least has some Olympic pedigree behind him and is also a big guy with knockout power.

I just don't see the point of rushing Wach into a shot against Wlad after a win over Kevin McBride. You can criticize Adamek as a choice of opponent but he did beat Arreola who was in the top 10 at the time.
I'm not trying to rush him into a title shot -- he's still learning and making up for lost time in Poland where he couldn't get good sparring and opponents.
But Wach is improving steadily and he's learned how to harness his power to throw some devastating power punches -- ask McBride about that.
However, if he did get offered the shot, I think he should take it. He's 31 and who knows when the next opportunity will come?
I'm not criticizing Adamek, just saying that Wach bettered his performance versus the same opponent.

Not saying he could be as good as VK, but he could definitely do some damage in the HW division before he's done.
And Thompson certainly did better against Wlad than the "speedy" Haye did!

You make McBride look like Mr. Universe.
Eat a salad, you fat piece of ****.
Lol at 42 years old I'd fit right in with that sorry group of slobs who wouldn't even be considered sparring partners in any other era.

lol, you're pathetic in even trying to validate this guy. It just goes to show how truly awful the heavyweight division is when a guy like that is seen as a top prospect. Sad, sad, sad.
