    dsimon has been on a SERIOUS downward spiral recently, for real.

    First of, it's taylor is a devastating KO puncher, then it's european fighter's can't punch hard, then it's Steward is the premier US trainer in the sport, and now it's Wlad is not an established elite fighter :lol: :lol:

    they're "good" fighters. they're just not exciting in general. although Povetkin is pretty exciting but I don't see how he's gonna beat one of the robots out there being as small as he is.

    I think it already has. Any casual fans I speak to say they don't even like heavyweights anymore. I don't even think a lot of them can name the majority of the "elite" heavys out there right now.

    The lighter weight divisions are most likely the future of the sport.

    Spells, and labels wont stop little midget Cotto being swiped over the top of the ropes, so really, you've got to ask yourself my dear Spaniard, do you really feel that ''empowered'' all because a 5"6 runt holds a belt?..:crafty:

    :crafty: Now here come the 'spells',...

    Kauki, do you think Illumanati felt empowered when the little midget of his smashed your favorite fighter and made him quit like a little bitch?

    Yes, ofcourse he would have, 90% of the members it seems from the north American continent are very 'tense' when it comes to Europe and Eurasian fighters :crafty: , hence the messageboard currently catastrophizing with rhetoric and racism due to one boring fight :crafty: the board didn't generate this much energy after --- Byrd / TOS.

    1) Ok maybe the statement that the Eastern Euro's don't punch hard is a bit cavalier.... Certainly Maskiev can bang. I will take the heat for that one

    2) Wlad is at the top of the division but a careful look hardly qualifies him as elite. I explained my logic on that one. Care to explain what makes beating Peter such a fiate? Vlad has beat guys who are smaller and less skilled than him. He is at the top of the division but sorry, thats not elite. Especially not considering a P4P distinction.

    As I told you elsewhere you are putting me under a microscope basically because you disagree with me about Taylor. Why don't yu tell us what makes Vlad so elite.... And while you are at it why don't you tell us what is so ridiculous about the notion that Taylor has the tendency to devlop into a devistating puncher with the right approach?

    All you did was pick a post of mine apart in which I compared the potential od Sanders and Taylor.... Why don't you respond to the actual argument instead of acting like a little girl?


    Again:

    So tell me Mex, what is so elite about Vlad?

    so tell me What is so ridiculous about the notion that Taylor could be a devistating puncher?
