Klitchkos resume is trash with Byrd an unknown hype job being his best win

Chris Byrd was not an unknown hype job.

Honestly bro, I don't even count that as a win for Wlad. It's one thing for the fight to be boring but the constant clinching by Klitschko was ridiculous. I can't give him too much credit for that win.

Well it counts on his resume, doesn't matter what you think of it. Blame Povetkin equally for having no plan B and only looking to launch the overhand right all night. Vlad did what he needed to and won, which is what matters in the end/// Next.

I blame Wlad, Povetkin, the ref, HBO, Russia and all the sanctioning bodies for that bull****. Lol that fight was pure garbage dude.

And if u take away that "win", he has nothing else that jumps out at you in recent memory.

It had its moments though. Povetkin proved to be a tough opponent and most other guys would have been stopped by the shots he took, was it around the mid rounds I think Vlad nearly had him nailed. Povetkin is legit that's for sure, but yes it was an ugly fight. They should do a rematch, actually.

Cleveland Williams was better than anybody WK or VK fought except for LL. Now I grant you the 50s wasn't the deepest era either. And I would rate Zora Folley higher than most anyone else VK or WK fought. (Too late and too tired to check boxrec)

THIS statement right there.. You offer it backed up with no evidence whatsoever.

Williams is a TYPICAL Liston/Ali opponent we can analyse..

There is not a single fighter I have seen on WK or VK's resume which would fail to smash up Williams like he was nothing. I mean he would not even be sufficient as a sparring partner for a K, I am not joking.

I know they called him a "puncher" back then, but he could not crack an egg compared to a modern HW and was a **** boxer by comparison too.

LOOK at him!

He fought stuff all real HW's (200+), and his performance against them was mediocre, and his record wasn't really good either. Plus he LOOKED like ****!

Sultan Ibragimov smashed up Lance Whittaker as if he was nothing, AS IF he would break a sweat or a knuckle it knocking the block off of ***** Cat Williams or whatever he was called! LOL I can't believe it!

Povetkin. And his upcoming opponent is the classy elite fighter Kubrat Pulev, a decorated amateur who is currently 20-0 as a pro.

True. Thompson and Haye were also recent elite fighters.

It's important to remember that even a "BUM" of the Klitschko era is really a monstrously strong opponent with a very good record, sometimes undefeated.

Fact is, these days, with the media scrutinizing everybody, WK and VK are not ALLOWED to face bums! They are for all intents and purposes not permitted to.

Ali and Louis had their "bum of the month" clubs because it was perfectly acceptable in those days to defend against flimsy opposition.

Paea Wolfgramme had an excellent amateur pedigree, and was physically bigger than Wlad at about 280 pounds. He had never previously been stopped or even knocked down, and had lost only one close decision. Wlad knocked him out in the first round.

This is why you will never be taken seriously as long as you post here. You're laughed at by everyone except your own little fan club.

You cite this guy as a good win, having 'only lost one close decision'...yet that close decision loss was to a 10-25-3 fighter.

10 wins, and 25 losses. Twenty five losses. Only ten wins. He loses to an absolute bum journeyman in his prime, and that's the type of opposition you call a good win. He went on to lose twenty fights in a row after this win.

As for being 'bigger', don't be daft. He was ****ing fat and out of shape.

Thompson was an elite fighter? What's your definition of 'elite'?

If you go by any normal persons definition, he is anything but. Let's put it into perspective shall we: Tony Thompson has never beaten a single current champion in his entire career. Not one. He has never beaten a paper titlist. He hasn't even beaten an old, faded, shot former champion. Ever. He has topped out at beating domestic level guys, then losing when he steps up, or just losing. He's a decent contender for the times, and the times are bad, nothing more.

When you have to fall back on someone who hasn't beaten a single top ranked, current champion, or even a faded former champion as an elite, great win, things are pretty damn bad.

You really think WK and VK aren't allowed to face bums? What was Mormeck? What was Leapai? Great wins huh? You call these guys top, elite, world championship level fighters huh? Good one.

Wlad has done some great things in this sport, but when you guys try to put this on people, you look bad, and you make him look even worse. Trying to pass this stuff off is not a good way to make him look better.
