You win. You make me feel like a complete and total idiot and moron and completely a waste of space.

Good job.
That perhaps may be a tad exaggerration.
You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

you are very welcome. it seems equally absurd
to me that someone denies the special qualities
of today's super heavies.

regarding how wlad fights smaller men by leaning
on them. well, it is an effective weapon to avoid
them from shortening the distance. it is ugly and
one can make the point it should be called off by
the ref, yet it ain't a sign of him not being able to
box like a smaller man.

but i am fine with other people having different
opinions.

I don't know how anyone could've watched last night and concluded Wlad wouldn't lose to the great fighters of yesteryear. Jennings is skill-wise a novice, with his sloppy squared up stance and clumsy lateral movement, and he gave Wlad a fairly competitive fight.

*shrugs*.... as ive said before... if someone doesnt really push the issue... then neither is Klitschko... from what little I saw of the contest... Jennings couldnt really follow anything up, allowed himself to be clinched, etc.

I'm tired of arguing with you, tbh. So I'm walking away from the discussion. But when (not if) Klitschko surpasses Holmes or Louis, I will wait to see what you say then. And if its more of the same--- then I'll have co choice but to accept that you either lost a shitload of money on the man once, and thats why ur pissed at him, or you are delusional.
