Pulev is garbage; the HW div. is trash.

I don't know what you think you're replying to. I'm replying to an idiotic post that this was a crap win over a stiff who then used the phrase "then you really don't know your boxing." when he clearly doesn't. If you want to jump in on that and you think that's correct, I don't take you any more seriously than you apparently take me jumping in on my reply. I don't remember saying anything like "Pulev is a defensive genius" or anything so it doesn't seem like you're even replying to the right comment. But maybe you think Pulev is a stiff, it's a crap win and everybody does great against Thompson. Don't know, don't care. "peeleft:

You said, without quoting anyone:

"People who don't understand boxing does not understand the difference between fighting crap opposition and making your opposition look like crap" or something like that.

Now, I'm asking, what does it take to "understand" boxing how are you in a position to understand it better than anyone else? And then I said, Pulev clearly wasn't great opposition as was proven by his recent fights where he showed he had a bad defence, for example letting a 42 year old fat never-been Tony Thompson hit him with 42% of his power shots. Impressive huh?

It was strategic clinching! Even a great ref like Tony Weeks allowed it.. People need to accept that holding and tactical arm grappling are not the same!

Oh strategic clinching?? Not just regular clinching?

Everyone, we've been conned. In the rulebooks it says you aren't allowed to hold, lean or clinch but if it's strategic, then it's something else entirely!

Sure it could . Byrd took wlad the distance first time round and has a 9th round win over Vitali. David Haye took wlad the distance. Some people seem to think Lewis had a bad chin but he took Vitali's best shots. As long as Moorer didn't stand in front of the Klitschko's like he did against Foreman I don't see why he couldn't take them the distance.

Byrd and Moorer fight nothing alike.

Moorer is much better.

Please detect my sarcasm. I was not serious one bit.

No. He had more power. That's it.

Byrd and Moorer fight nothing alike.

Both were blown up cruisers, both slick southpaws, which is a rareity at HW, in fact they have many similarities.

Moorer is much better.

Byrd was much better than Moorer who had more power but simply wouldn't make a difference Byrd was that much better.

Byrd had a better chin too.

Why/how would/could anyone dispute that?

This can only say hater!

[Foreign Soil]

Would have probably been the best guy on Wlad's resume though.

How many of his fights have you watched? highlights from the Tyson fights?

Even someone like Wach would have a chance to starch Bruno. But Bruno is legend doe.

[Elroy1]

You obviously haven't seen that fight. Moorer fought great against Foreman. It was a one punch knockout landed by one of the biggest punchers of all time.

Moorer did bash Foreman before getting clipped.

Moorer also stands no chance against Klitschko, and probably not any other top 10 HW today whatsoever.
