Joe Frazier vs Wlad Klitschko

I agree that was quite hideous to watch, one of the most pathetic performances I've ever seen actually. Mormeck posed literally no threat at all.

 

More than ANYTHING else, the sport needs more decent refs like Joe Cooper.

 

Yep, Fight Him Cooper isn't going to be increasing the talent levels, but he would make a lot of fights far more enjoyable and fair.

 

It is funny when you are so desperate to one-up me. But I already said I am not going to get sucked into one of your endless Devil's Advocate Wlad Defense League "discussions" which are made to scrub (pun intended) Wlad's resume clean.

I wasn't even the original poster on this, but you only responded to me...not the person who made the comment. You really do post like someone with a guilty conscience. ::

 

Yep. It really was a shitty fight. The heavyweight division is pretty much unwatchable these days.

 

If Wlad had had his brother's chin and toughness, he would have been an ATG heavyweight, one of the best ever. He still has one of the best offensive arsenals of any HW ever, he's just too terrified to use it like he used to. He is kind of like a HW Terry Norris, except Norris wasn't a big pussy (or a steroid abuser).

 

Agree totally. It's a shame, I remember watching him on the Lewis-Botha undercard in London and he totally brutalised some poor fella (Monte Barrett or David Bostice I believe). I was thinking the guy had all the makings of an ATG heavyweight who would deliver one exciting KO after another, then Sanders exposed the failings and he was never the same.

 

which is a different thing than being in your prime

he learned to cheat better

 

No, the reason I responded you was that I had responded for the original poster earlier, which again proves that you don't even read what I post or don't want to understand it (here too, you can't deny the point about Lewis so you talk of something else)

 

agREED. Wlad's "prime" is, out of convenience, after all of his losses.
