Whose more exciting? Rigo or Wlad?

[Tom Cruise]

Whad is because he can still turn out the lights with one shot. Rigo cannot.

He can against the level of opponent that constitutes this eras Heavyweight 'contenders'.

Rigondeaux has very good power for the weightclass

[Los Zetas]

wlad's an effing bum. skills? we saw what happened when he tried to use his skills, he hit the canvas in every other fight. then came wlad 2.0 who cherry picks non aggressive fighters and holds every time someone gets close.

You're a dimwit if you think Wlad's gold medal and whole pro career is based off of no skills.

Everyone is pretty much sick of your mindless trolling.

Find a new gimmick scrub. You're annoying.

Wlad couldn't lace up rigos boots,Wlad gets knocked out by bums,rigo completely dominated a p4p elite devastating puncher in donaire sticking to the rules of boxing,Wlad clings on to Povetkin a no hope contender that couldn't even ko a cruiserweight,yet Wlad spoils instead of fighting fair....yawn

we all saw what happened over and over every time he tried to use his "amateur skills" in the pros. he hit the canvas over a dozen times so obviously they weren't working too well. he was a very mediocre fighter. then he got with steward who made him clinch every time someone got close so his opponents couldn't even throw punches, and they also matched him with non-aggressive opponents like byrd, ibragimov, thompson, etc... who poised the least amount of risk. when has he fought someone like sanders or brewster since then? an aggressive guy who comes to take him out? povetkin was the only one who even tried to be aggressive and wlad should have been dq'd for that akwindade like performance. wlad wouldn't even fight chisora. clinching does take a certain amount of skill i will give you that but it also takes a lot of skill to pay off the refs and cherry pick non-threatening opponents. alex leapai............

No insult to Rigo, but when it come to one punch power, Wlad is probably inthe top 3 in the world in all weight classes. He knocks guys out with grazing shots. Ask Eddie Chambers.

That said, I appreciate the way GR fights and don't understand all the hate for him as he's a true master.

People need to realize also that Wlad is a true master and need to understand what they are seeing.

When Wlad holds it's boring. When Bhop does it, it's pugilistic mastery.

That's just not fair.

No to detract from a great win, but Rigo did get planted on his A55 and Donaire looked like a shell of himself in that fight and his fight after that.

Rigo got careless and got caught with a hook coming off a clinch. And if Donaire looked like a shell, I would say it's because "El Chacal" made him look that way.

What a load of rubbish. Brewster won purely out of survival. Be barely even hit Wlad in the sequence where he completely gassed out. It was more of Wlad's fault for his conditioning than it was Brewster actually winning that fight.

Sanders hand speed and southpaw stance was a nightmare for Wlad and that's all there was to it. It was a style mismatch and Wlad definitely got plastered. one thing to note is that the fight was never a boxing match, it was fistic fury Sniper style from the start and Wlad never had a chance to get a rythm. This was due to under-estimating Corrie Sanders. The Wlad of today would beat Sanders easily.

Ok, but that doesn't explain why Darchinyan made him look average too.

Like I said, it's hard to gauge exactly how much was GR and how much was a fading Donaire. It was blatantly clear that Nonito's reflexes were not what they normally were in both fights.
