Not really. You're just upset that I'm not fawning over Wlad. He has had a fantastic career, no doubt, but I see no point in going over the top with praise. I prefer to keep things realistic.
I don't really care if you fawn over anyone dear boy; 36 to 40plus in any sport (at this level) is an excellent achievement. That's when thing normally go south.

That's going to be the title of my new book coming out. The Goof That Almost Killed Boxing. Tanzio will be referenced inside this book as Wlad's only fan or bobblehead owner. The Book will not contain any pictures, just mostly blank pages which i think would capture the career excitement level that Wlad brought to the sport. :zzz: THE HUMAN SLEEPING AID
"Just mostly blank pages" with the exception of those with crayon stick figures and examples of caldoh's finest fingerpainting work. :OhYes:

Make sure your mommy and daddy are home for the Joshua v Wlad fight. We would not want Current Scene's resident pea brain to do something silly to himself if Wlad pulls off the W. :shame:
Do me a favor and put a lot of money on that bet. I'd love to see Wlad's #1 rump boy get it in the chops in his last fight. Could you imagine how inspiring Wlad would be in the post fight interview. "I win because I did good. I tell people I win. People tell me I no win. I win". That's Wlad! Up to you Jim! That was riveting.

Classic; a bonafide moron criticizing the intelligence of possibly the most educated heavy weight champion in history, who speaks a minimum of four languages. :clap: You are the pee brain that just keeps urinating on yourself.

Have you witnessed him speaking 4 languages? If he's counting English as one of the 4 then I speak about 15 then because he sucks at English. Big deal. And where did he get his degrees? IN what? Yeah, I could get someone to complete some courses online for me so i can appear to be smarter. I'm not buying it because anyone with a brain would have had a way better career and made a ton more money and fans. The guys a dope and a dick so i guess that's why you two like each other so much.

Wlads English is much much better than you give him credit for. Before the Haye fight he conducted a very impressive charm-offensive in the British media.

So for the record he speaks Russian Ukrainian German and English fluently.

Wlad is a very intelligent guy and the only language that I'm better than him at is English. I can murder the French language so I'll call that one even.

I'm reminded of a quip by the late Spike Milligan (which certainly doesn't apply to Wlad) it went something like ... " I know a woman who speaks 14 different languages ... and she never says anything intelligent in any of them " :D

..there's another quote, not sure who it originated from and it goes like.."he spoke a dozen of languages with equal volubility and incorrectness".. :D

Talking of quotes, who was it said " Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience " ?

I shouldn't worry too much though Tanzio, you're considerably ahead on points, even if your opponent refuses to stay down :D

I consider Boxrec Forum my gym lockerroom. I engage in language and conversation here that is not possible in my day to day reality. It is a diversion that provides an entertaining outlet.

Other than never fighting the #2 heavyweight during most of his career. Anyone else who did that would be raked over the coals, but Wlad gets praise for always fighting the #3 fighter, while #2 Vitali fought the #4.

This is also why the division was so boring. There were twice as many "title shots" available so the contenders never had to fight each other.

I think they get a pass for not wanting to fight their brother, I mean it's not tennis is it?

I agree it's been unfortunate for the sport and the division though.
