Comments Thread For: Team Klitschko Optimistic Of Better Challenges Out There

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The present may not look very promising in regards to finding a formidable challenger for standout heavyweight brothers act Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko. Case in point: younger brother Wladimir is a whopping 80-1 favorite to successfully defend his lineal World heavyweight championship against Jean-Marc Mormeck.

As insane as they are, I'd still bet my last pound on Wlad and make nothing in return rather than waste it on Mormeck getting the upset.

No, he's kidding you, (that picture is probably a mint issue, a collector's item) they don't use gold coins, haven't since Nixon went off the $32 an ounce standard, and sovereigns (20 shillings) and guineas (21 shillings) were either hoarded or melted down. They are huge collector items today worth fortunes. They were always minted in small quantities anyway compared to other coinage and rare even before the price of gold was became market-free. My sister collects them.

You should ask the guy about LSD, (British money-Pounds, shillings, pence) ask where it's derived from, it will tie him into knots trying to explain, especially the "D", and particularly since he's from nationalistic Scotland not England.

Just one comment on Klitschko's remarks. I think he's not correct in his Tyson comment. I believe that Tyson was widely regarded as a coming champion long before he ever fought Berbick. People were speculating in exactly how old he would be when he did win the title and freely saying that he would be the youngest champion ever.

It could be that Klitscko really meant that prior to Tyson, nobody had ever imagined that anyone as young as 20 could becme world champion, and mis-stated slightly.
