W. KlitschkO Fight Predictions

[guru]

Outside of Lewis (who Rahman actually beat) Sanders, Williams, Johnson (in the shape he was in) and Donald were NOT good competiton. They were Sub Par.

Sub par is better than "bad" which Rahman's last 5 opponents were, but overall, Rahman holds a victory over Lewis, where Vitali's wins against (a fat) Johnson and Donald are the biggest wins of his entire career.

That should give you some perspective.

Neither of them have set anything on fire (outside of Rahman's 15 mins of fame).

you're right neither are, but rahman's one big win was 4-5 years ago, he has since proved it was more a fluke than abirrition(spelling)... and i think VK is trying to prove he's the best...

I'm not using those rankings of Gosple, but it gives some perspective.

He's not a top 30 fighter, and not a "good" opponent.

He's an inexperienced fighter that's in there to give Wlad some confidence back.

All you're doing is trying to sugar coat it.

He's not a contender, not viewed as a threat, and not a top 20 fighter.

In you opinion..... but he is undefeated, he did beat moorer, and is has just as much right to be on HBO, as owen beck and guinn

By not fighting the other titlr holders and fighting guys the other title holders already beat?

I never said Klitschko ducked Ruiz once. If your way of trying to debate is putting words in other people's mouths, that's pretty weak.

I said he had the opportuinity to fight Ruiz and Byrd, but choose to fight Rahman instead. I don't think he's afraid of them, I just think he likes to take the easier rout.

Again, in his entire career, his biggest wins are against Larry Donald and Kirk Johnson.

Again, you're sugar coating.

There is NO WAY Castillo can be considered a good live opponent.

Beating Moorer means NOTHING, and he's too Green to be able to judge.

He's in there as a soft fight to try and give Wlad some confidence back.

Two dead links, and one OPINION based that sounds like it was written by you.

Good job.

Toney was in the same boat. He was promoted by Goosen, and wanted a shot at one of the King fighters. Toney easilly negotiated King to co promote the fight, and it was on.

It wouldn't be nearly as difficult as you're trying to make it out to be AND Klitschko would make more money tenfold than he's making now.

[Bozo_no no]

And by the way,

It doesn't get much more desperate and pathetic than quoting another person's opinion-based boxing article.

Come on.

The whole point of this is that Castillo is young and he beat Moorer which Jirov couldn't do. Its not like the Klitschko camp went out and picked a soft opponent here. They picked just about as good a fighter as was willing to fight Wlad. Wlad is not exactly the guy everyone wants to fight. Fighting him now is a lose lose situation for anyone who is highly ranked. Just look at Lyakhovich and Byrd ducking him and Castillo nearly pulled out of the fight as well. Moli is a soft opponent Castillo isn't.

[Bozo_no no]

They picked just about as good a fighter as was willing to fight Wlad.

Almost right, they picked as good an opponent as Wlad was willing to face.

Which was an unproven, lowly ranked guy who couldn't put a dent in Michael Moore.

And don't tell me that was impressive outpointing Moore when Jirov couldn't do it. Jirov has yet to beat a Heavyweight.

Why does it sting you guys so bad to admit Wlad has been, and will continue to fight soft opponents until he's ready to step up to a top 20 fighter?

Its what he should be doing.
