If you want somebody to make Klit work, go and get some stud from Eastern Europe who comes in and gives it a go.... these big black boys aren't going to do it. Jennings came in to survive, pull faces, even with the referee helping him out and rewarding his leap amateur style. He was celebrating going the distance and then celebrating when he had kept it close on the cards.
Sorta like David Haye who kept falling down whenever him and Wlad would get close, and then blamed his performance on his toe. As soon as I saw Jennings moving around and letting Wlad get to him with the jab, I knew he wasn't going to put up the big fight. I wish Wlad would just retire already. Then again it doesn't matter if he does because I don't really watch heavyweights.
I said it. a long time ago, he should have retired AFTER the Haye fight. Like his brother, he has slipped clearly now. His left is not what it was and he can't find the big rights like he used to. Rangy, shifty opponents are giving him difficulty.
If he just had his last fight in NY, everybody would have gone bananas. The Pulev fight was very entertaining. Jennings really made him look bad. Bad matchmaking...
Absolutely, terrible matchmaking. The minute Jennings raised his hand at the end of the 12th, I knew Jennings had only shown up to go the distance and get his money and tell everyone he deserved a rematch. If anything, however, guys like Wilder and Fury will be looking at this thinking they fancy the job even more.
Yes, it IS... Wlad's a Big, Strong, POWERFUL Man...Toooooo Bad he Doesn't Consistently FIGHT like One... REED:mj:
Wlad is just a bitch. Dude is 6'6 and about 240 and he fights scared as always because he knows he has a glass jaw. At least Khan puts himself out there and though he's gotten KO'd, helped make the fights exciting. Wlad is simply an embarrassment.
Yeah, I can't fucking stand that, Lummox was the same. Huge, powerful men, fighting like little girls behind a scared jab, against significantly smaller men. It's utterly pathetic.
Get Irish to do the interview: "I'm going to walk slowly toward you and I want you to clinch me and lean on my back so I can smell you, love of my life"
Far from it, if he gave me the time of day, I would ask, very openly, just why he stayed on in the game when every fight after Haye was going to be decried as either boring or one-sided and what have you...and how much money did he need, and maybe the smart thing to do would be to get out of the way and let Haye Wilder happen, if family life meant that he was not going to dedicate himself properly. I would also ask him why these guys aren't fighting each other, why there is Klitschko sweepstakes and why Jennings doesn;t fly to the UK and ask to fight Fury or ask to fight Wilder for a winner vs Wlad fight. I would also ask him to compare and contrast Jennings attitude vs Mike Rebellio and Spzilka, why was it he felt that Jennings was so more positive vs those guys.
I did not like Lennox Lewis either but he fought in some wars and he was never a coward..cmon now....Lennox was careful when fighting big punchers but he threw far more punches then Wland and he would KILL wlad if they would have ever fought....Wlad is one of the most overrated heavyweights of all time....i think in another eras he would struggle to top in the top 10 rankings
Man, Lummox fought scared against Holyfield, a former cruiserweight FFS. A much smaller man, without 1 punch power at heavyweight. No he was not as bad as wald pussy, but he too had some disgraceful performances fighting like a little girl against smaller men.
WK was a top 10 HW in the Lewis Era. These are the rankings per Boxing Monthly the month Lewis and Grant fought. Over 190lbs/13st 8lbs1: Lennox Lewis (Britain), 37-1-1, WBC/IBF/IBO 2: Evander Holyfield, 36-4-1 3: David Tua (New Zealand), 36-1 4: Mike Tyson, 48-3-0-1 5: Chris Byrd*, 31-1, WBO champ 6: Michael Grant, 31-1 7: Andrew Golota (Poland), 36-4 8: Oleg Maskaev (Kazakhstan), 20-2 9: Wladimir Klitschko (Ukraine), 34-1 10: John Ruiz, 36- So, not only was he top 10 during the Lewis era, he will go on to be ranked higher than at least four if not more of the guys who made up that top 10.
But he was a legit champ in the Lewis era, when he did no holding, right :dunno: Can't have it both ways.
I do love it when you mooks walk'n'talk your way into a bit of a muddle. "Klitschko would not be top 10 in the Lewis era" Go and get me a thin-base with extra Guinea.
