Good news!
I liked the Sultan Ibragimov who fought Cole and Whitaker a lot more than the boring Mayweather version who fought Wladimir.

True, but I was unhappy that people were blaming Wlad for it being a boring fight, when it was Sultan who was making it dull.
Sultan had Briggs hurt in a late round, but then backed away instead of trying to finish him off, and the same in his Holyfield fight. Mayweather had instructed him to go for decisions instead of KOs, but Sultan has decent power and may have stopped Briggs and Evander.

Ibragimov woulda got KO'd being agressive against Klitschko. He just isnt all that great a fighter. He looked good against Briggs.. who cant even throw 10 punches a round anymore.
