To all those who say Wladdy is best HW ever etc

[LacedUp]

When did he give this interview? Steward died on October 25, 2012. Since then, this has happened:




Unfortunately, we can't bring him back for a revised opinion.

I doubt the likes of Pianeta, Wach and Leapai would have changed the great Manny Steward's opinion.

[LacedUp]

If Wladimir goes unbeaten through 2015 beating the likes of Jennings, Wilder/Stiverne and maybe also Fury what then...?
Even when he is winning he is losing because he will always have people trying to criticize his every move.

Then he will have cemented his place in the top 10. Nothing more nothing less.

Math. Math. Math.

What matters is the numbers, not the names AT THIS POINT. We're done playing those games. The names have become subjective to the point where wins over the likes of Pulev are even criticized. This is of course opinion.



Title defenses, records of opponents are the only reliable data at this point. The criticism against Fury and Wilder are already waiting in the wings once they're beaten. What matters is that a 32-0, 32 ko's record will be 32-1 once Wlad is done with this prime, 6'7 opponent.

When Steward says something good about Wladimir, Klitschko fans take is as gospel.

When he says Wladimir is #8.. "but but but...."

numbers? dafuq are you talking about dude.

Boxing isn't a numbers game. Maybe because you're a fanboy, to you it is.

In the real world what matters is quality of wins.

...and there goes any validity for whatever you're about to say next or will ever say with regards to W.Klitschko. Thanks for the laugh though, thoroughly enjoyed your attempts.

Like you're not a fanboy?
The difference is you have a clear agenda against some fighters which for a so called journalist is very unprofessional a bit like Ellie Sechback If you will.

Fanboy of who? Who exactly is omitted from criticism for me?

Don't even go there. I'm a private person on this forum, not a journalist.

Lewis will always be higher, for me. Better all round.

You didn't explain yourself, therefore your statement means ZILCH.

Yes, the NUMBERS are all that matters. How many times has Wlad cleaned out the division, many times over. He even had to recycle some contenders and bring them back for a second time (i.e. Thompson), until this new crop of Heavyweights (Fury, Wilder, Pulev) emerged. There is no legit criticism against Wlad. It's all numbers and still going strong...

After every win, there is a new narrative from the peanut gallery. But all we know is that win # 64 is coming up next and it will be against yet another undefeated fighter in his prime, and it's just a stay busy fight until the WBC Champion is ready for unification.
