davidif:First you are taking my line. I already said that Different people age differently Which you already quoted but earlier you said davidif:So if you can agree to that then there really is nothing left to discuss is there? Make up your mind which is it STOP CONTRADICTING YOURSELF Foreman did not have as much mileage? A guy who had 40 professional fights at age 25 and 81 professional fights in total? If he was to have mileage how manyy fights would he have? 2 Likes |

aribisala0: At no point did i contradict myself. What i said is that a fighter is not the same at 41 as he is at 27. He might still beat some bums at age 45 or even 50 but will he be the same fighter that he was in his 20's? The answer is a big emphatic NO!!!!! |

Mrchippychappy:You must have been the doctor doping him with steroid. Will it be bad asking you to do same and let's see you. Then what is one chance about this, Wladimir is just demanding his right as any other boxer stripped of his crown, it doesnt mean he will come out blazing immediately. They both has a little time to prepare again and if AJ want, he may decide to fight other boxers before giving Wladimir another chance. |

davidif:If people age differently some will get better as they age while others the same age will get worse. A boxer at 25 is not the same as he was when he was 24 or 23 or will be at 27 28 29 30 40 and so on. Some heavyweights are better in their 20s while others do their best work in their 30s and a few might in their 40s. So you cannot make any sweeping generalization as if 40 is some magicallyy ordained number from God. We Have Serena Williams breaking all kinds of age records even winning a slam when pregnant. Youhave not told us the model of ageing which you are propounding rather you continue to shift the parameters. You saiid age is EVERYTHING . EVERYTHING. No one forcedyou to say that. I gave you examples ,that of Bernard Hopkins is particularly outstanding as he has beaten men young enough to be his children against all odds for World Titles. Heavyweight boxing lends itself to this kind of thing because all it takes is one punch. So on the day we have to take it as we see it and stop all this silly speculation of a 30 year old Klitschko. To my mind this one is even better because he has experience. Who did the 30 year old version beat? What seems clearer these days if a sportsman or woman paces themselves then they can go on for much longer and do their better work well into their 40s |

sunnyeinstein:That was a time when we would stay awake late to watch heavweight boxing. There were so many entertaining fights Ask how this klitschko would have fared against that Holyfield from time Foreman no dey dance. He just knocked people out .In his first 40 fights only 3 went the distance and that was why people thought he would literally kill Ali. You need to see what he did to Joe Frazier who was not beans. Frazier had already beaten Alii by the time they met |

davidif: I am talking about ALL HIS FIGHTS OVER THE AGE OF 40 and you reference his LAST FIGHT Eventually time will catch up no one is arguing that so what is your point? You are contradicting your claim that age is everything Or that a 30 year old Klitschko was better when infact he was only fighting journeymen . My point is you cannot just say 40 is the magic number for everyone. Some 40 year olds will beat some 20 year olds at THE HIGHEST LEVEL. We have seen this many times 1 Like |

sunnyeinstein: Leg work na wetin them dey use market the sport. Tyson get leg work? Evander Hollifield get leg work? Lewis? Kĺitchko brothers? Just to mention a few. Now, i am not saying that leg work isn't a good thing to have, but it is just not the main thing in boxing. It is simply something that makes a fighter look sharp and fun to watch. When u are a superman like our dear AJ, u don't bother much with that. You confront one and all, and never back off for no one. Raw strength and will. |

ednut1: Lmao @ he has no skill or leg movement. You just showed you're a casual and exposed the fact that you're a boxing novice. In as much as it's blasphemous to compare him to the gawd, Ali (Ali was a heavyweight champion who fought like a lightweight - pure greatness)...AJ is the best thing to happen to heavyweight boxing in a long time. Most people forget that he started boxing at 18 when the average boxer has already fought tens of amateur fights and some are pros. And he just turned pro 4 years ago and he's only 19 fights in. How many boxers not named Ali fought a champion like Wladimir Klitschko after 18 fights? Even Mike Tyson fought a lot of bums and tomato cans...and his first half-decent Larry Holmes who had already lost a step and was looking flabby and sick. And Tyson was already 33 fights in. And Tyson never even beat any real boxing hall of famer, apart from Larry Holmes and a stiff Frank Bruno. But I'm sure a lot of you would talk about how great Mike Tyson was. And don't tell me George Foreman was skilled either. AJ is still green and inexperienced as a boxer and that's what a lot of people don't understand. And the fact that he took the fight when he's clearly not ready for a fight of this magnitude showed his heart. And he showed a lot of heart, grit, and endurance to come back after what happened in the 6th round. That's a warrior and a true champion. Champions are made based on how they overcome adversity and he passed with flying colours yesterday. He has no skills and leg movement, yet he won Olympics gold medal and definitely a Cuban legend on his way there...and when he decides to box, he can actually box. The only thing about him that's negative apart from his inexperience is that he carries too much muscles yet throws barrage of punches like a lightweight whenever he thinks he has a chance to knock people out. And you can't do that in the heavyweight division, else you'll always gas yourself out and leave yourself open to attack, especially against fighters with experience and great chin. And he has done that twice now. However, he's going to learn. And to those claiming Wlad is 41 years old...the German reporters (Wlad is based in Germany - he turned pro there and he fights in the country, so they know him better than everyone else) at the post-match press conference said that was the best fight Wlad fought since he turned pro and in his 29 title defenses. So, a younger Wlad wouldn't have done anything different because AJ was able to hold and weave after he gassed out when coasting from round 6 (after the knock down) - 9. He took some bad shots but he showed he has a good chin. Wlad's also an experienced fighters and he was also cautious. Rushing forward after the knock down in the 6th like AJ did in the 5th would've been disastrous for him as well. Give props to the new king - that's the best heavyweight boxing match in over a decade. Heavyweight boxing is back! 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Mrchippychappy:Since yesterday this guy won the fight, you've been all over this forum spreading your bile everywhere simply because he happens to have a Yoruba middlename. I know if the guy's middle name happened to be Emeka or Chukwudi, you've termed him the best thing since sliced bread. Please try to purge your heart off hate. It only attracts negative energy into your life. Live and let live. |
