Members of the Kliteratti always used to tell me that Japan won World War II as "when the US bombed Hiroshima, Japan was ahead on points."

I wonder if this is changed now we've seen them outpointed for the first time?

All these people coming to rag on Wlad yet probably can't name any other champs as dominant who fought everyone in their division and defended title for 10 years at the highest level until pretty much age 40. Which other heavyweight champ looked amazing at that age?

That being said the Safty first Wlad would likely always had a hard time with someone like tyson fury but the Pre-Emanuel Steward Wlad would have smoked fury into last week... or potentially gassed out but don't think furry's chin is as good as brewsters was.

"The highest level"? He was fighting cans, wasn't he?

Awaiting the inevitable bumming thread.

Took me a few days to get over the shock:

As much as Vlad's a clincher in fact, everytime there is a threat of engagement you see his arms straighten, his head go down, his eyes close as he flinches about....Vladimere Flinchko... "if I just close my eyes and straighten my arms the man in front of me will go away.

Harsh.

Surely his dad's better?

I genuinely lol'd. He wasn't half the fighter his brother was. Looking at their careers one was an overachiever and the other one a real bad underachiever.
