I just can't see how there can be so much hype around a guy that was knocked down and got a draw with Ray Austin. I'm not really a Klitschko fan, but from this view it looks like this fight should be a slaughter. What do you guys think?:dunno:
Anyone has a chance against Wlad. He is the best right now at HW, no doubt, but he is very, very CHINNY. If he gets clipped, then he is liable to have a nap. I'm still very confident in picking Wlad KO 10. But that weak chin means that an upset is always a possibility...
More ridiculous nonsense. Every heavy who can punch a bit has a chance with Wlad. Ibragimov isn't bad at all and his handspeed, may trouble Wlad early on. Bigger than that though, is Sultan is the best body puncher in the division. It might serve him well if his face isn't swollen to high heaven from the sledge hammer jab.
Agreed. The prevailing opinion at the time seemed to be that he still won the fight, though it's true he didn't look very good against.
The Austin that fought that night was a very good heavy. I think he would have been far better off fighting any of the other champs besides Wlad. He would have had a decent chance against Briggs or Maskaev and an okay chance against the others.
Sultan is a boxer more than a puncher and Wlad is one of the very few heavyweights in the history who has never been outboxed. I don't think he has even been behind after by many rounds in his fights. So either you take him out or he dominates, that has been the case usually. Ibragimov is a solid guy and he does have a chance but it is a slim one
Ooh, I hear ya now. Austin isnt very good, mate. I'd have confidently picked all those guys over him.
Not exactly sure how this is "rediculous nonsense". If every heavy who can punch has a chance to beat Wlad then why did Sam Peter lose to him? Peter is very heavyhanded. There must be a reason why Peter didn't ko him. Then you do a great job of making a claim and covering your tracks when it gets proven stupid. Sultan's body punching WILL NOT be a factor in this fight. I love you how you make the claim, he's the best bodypuncher and he'll get to use it if he doesn't get his ass kicked. That is rediculous nonsense. Klitschko by slaughter:eeeek:
