    Amen, brother, amen! Let Wlad continue to clean up this mess. Like Buddy Guy said: "I may not be the best, but I'm the best until the best comes along!"

      many great fighters have been knocked down a lot

      Floyd Patterson and Ezzard Charles were knocked down many times during their careers and knocked out a few times but I still think that they were great fighters.

      I don't think that Wladdy is a great fighter because he has shown a total unwillingness to do any fighting on the inside, far less even than Lennox Lewis, who could fight in close if he wanted to or needed to. Wladdy used to cover up a bit inside but now all he does is hold. Emanuel Steward has probably taught him to fight that way. If Wladdy ever learned the inside fighting game I would have a lot more respect for him and like him a lot better too.

        you shouldve kept what you felt about the fight instead of posting a thread and making a mockery of yourself

          so joe louis isnt a great fighter? diego corrales isnt a great fighter?

          so what ur saying is every fighter that has a weak chin will never be a great fighter?

          boy, you have a lot to learn about the sport of boxing.

            In Ukraine, he is the great fighter. We have another 5 years to see whether he can be conidered a great on a world scale.

              today's wlad is greater and has accomplished more than ANY version of tyson, and im sure you realize this, and that's where the haterade stems from.

                    Yeah!!! Im I right in thinking Emmanuel is training wlad now?? If so look what he did for Lewis. Lewis had a better chin though!!! Just think if you could combine Wlads skills with his brothers chin. What a fighter that would be!!!
