Current Heavyweights - The Era With No Name

[The Hammer]

If Holmes or Ali won a fight by dominant decision, they'd receive praise and admiration.

If Wlad has 4 KO wins and 1 dominant decision in 5 fights, people go on and on about the decision win not being acceptable.

The man has an 88% KO ratio. Why don't you admit you hate him because he's white?

****ing double standard, and I'm sick of it.

i know mt77. i know.

but i'm a big follower of the lineal theory. manny can get 20 belts at 135 but that doesn't stop me from calling casa THE CHAMP at lightweight 'til someone beats him (santa cruz fight aside)

There is no casa at HW, there is Wlad and that's it. Wlad's the UNIFIED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Can we agree on that?

[Mr. Ryan]

When you're heavyweight champion, and essentially Klitschko is that guy, you're going to have to realize that if you don't give the people what they want, they won't be nice to you.

His diehard fans will love him no matter what he does, but the casual fans/non Klitschko fans are going to need a little more from him to be impressed.

Scoring knockouts goes a long way towards that.

Wlad KO6 Thompson

[WLAD OWNS]

Look, there isn't much to bash about Wladimir Klitschko right now. What people want to see a heavyweight champion is do what heavyweight champions do i.e. knock people out.

The main difference between heavyweights and other divisions is that those guys are supposed to be so big that they knock people out.

Wlad has KO'd 44 opponents in his 50 wins....He's KO'd 90% of his opponents.

Wlad does what heavyweight champs are supposed to do....He dominates and destroys opponents.

I know, white people have it so hard in America. When are they going to leave our people alone?

No seriously though, Holmes and Ali both went through their own BS with the people not showing them love. History remembers things differently now, but at the time Holmes was one of the most unpopular champions. Ali was once the most hated man in America.

I ****in' know it!!! They hate Wlad because he's a white Eastern Europen. Ill be laughing at them when Wlad KO's tony in a few days.

[Left Hook Tua]

he has unified his 3 belts. he's the champion of 3 orgs. he's the best heavy right now.

that's the best i can give you , bud. ha ha ha

Wlad is the Heavyweight Champ and he knocks his opponents the **** out.

As I said earlier, with champions particularly heavyweight champions, you are only as good as your last fight. Not knocking out a pudgy guy like Ibragimov with the whole world watching was un-heavyweight championlike, and the media ate him up for it.

For his sake I hope he takes a few more chances to get the impressive win boxing fans, not just Wladimir fans, want.

i don't hate wlad because he's eastern european. i don't even hate him at all though i do make fun of him sometimes......

one of my favorites is kostya tszyu and he's russian. i rooted for golota over bowe and golota's polish.
