Wlad Klitschko on FNF tonight

For someone who speaks like 7 languages, I thought he did a great job, was well-spoken, and very relaxed. Dressed sharp, too. Wlad is all class and a credit to the sport of boxing. Light years beyond some thugged-out low-life criminal fighters I could name who like to beat up women, pose like they're in rap videos, and who can't speak English any better than Wlad even though it's their first language.... LOL ...lol lol What a great post and it sums things up nicely.

any fighter of any era has weaknesses. it's really all about how you improve on them or defend them. personally, i think his "chin" is fine. in my eyes, it's the way he deals with a short barrage of heavy punches - especially when he's not ready for them. so far though, he has looked much better. i noticed in the byrd rematch that after a while, he wasn't even clinching - he was jamming up the inside attack by going in really close, then taking a step to the side of byrd or simply pushing him back. hopefully, for us boxing fans, he can maintain and unify at least another major title and hold onto them for a few years. seems like klitschko is the only champ really shooting for a unification. he did mention that negotiations are a bit difficult. perhaps talks with the other champs are already happening. hes definitly the hope to unify. its sure as hell not rahman, toney or brew.

What questions were asked to Wlad from people emailing them in?

LOL I think he looked a bit awkward, never said anything about the way he talked, all the power too him for that. However i actully laughed out loud as they were fading to the first fight and wlad was just kind of staring, open mouthed into the camera. It was funny stuff. It just kind of seemed like he wasnt sure if he wanted to be there or not.

Uhhh...i was saying he looks kind of dumb and awkward on the program. What is your deal?? For someone who speaks like 7 languages, I thought he did a great job, was well-spoken, and very relaxed.

your right wlad doesnt have a good chin,,but worst is that he panics when he gets hit. whereas diego is mentally tougher but in my opinion has a weaker chin as his knockouts have been pretty brutal With the exception of the last castillo fight (insert all the stipulations here) he hasnt been knocked out badly in any other fight.

never said he could've continued. :rolleyes: well, he did. watch the tape. btw, bigger people i find are actually easier to trip/sweep. well, good. it shouldn't be a bashing on wladimir. he doesn't deserve any more discrediting than he's already got. which is too much anyways. on a side note - people crack a few fat jokes about james toney and some people sound like they were really upset about it. however, some of the same people have probably criticized wk or other heavyweights and have no sense of of being hyprocritical. strange, isn't it? That is pretty strange, but therers really no way around it. Every HW champ or contender is lacking in one department. Wlad-Chin/ possible fatuige problems? (looked ok as far as fatigue is concerned in his last fights) Toney-Is a fatty. Out of shape in a bad way Rahman- always a question mark and im not sure how skilled he actully is. also has chin problems brewster-1 dimensional, can be outboxed sergi-havent seen enough of him to pass judgment valuev-sucks peter-zero boxing skills when you break it down like that, the hw division doesnt look too solid, but it also means nearly anyone can unify.

Right. Wlad was ready to fight on. :rolleyes: Wlad is 6'6" 240. He was falling over himself and he got tripped. A guy that big doesnt just trip over a guy like RObert Byrd. This isnt ment to be a Wlad bashing session at all, but he doesnt have a good chin. And when someone says its better than deigo corrales because his losses are understandable, i have to make comments like this. your right wlad doesnt have a good chin,,but worst is that he panics when he gets hit. whereas diego is mentally tougher but in my opinion has a weaker chin as his knockouts have been pretty brutal

lol,,,,most of us straight people dont notice or pay attention to the looks of a male fighter,,,,is this a personal problem? Uhhh...i was saying he looks kind of dumb and awkward on the program. What is your deal??

do you mean after the ref accidentally tripped him? yeah, he got up. don't be such an asshole. Right. Wlad was ready to fight on. :rolleyes: Wlad is 6'6" 240.

lol,,,,most of us straight people dont notice or pay attention to the looks of a male fighter,,,,is this a personal problem? Lol, I didn't pay attention to that either, but a lot of my girlfriends say he is good looking...this could work to his advantage if he is promoted the right way...he could be the heavyweight version of Oscar. I say the guy can Punch, they (girls) say that he is good looking...my thoughts are like, WTF, I am talking about boxing, you talk about looks. Then again, when you watch a movie, I like to think about how good that women is in bed, not how she acts :D

what have the commentators been saying to Wlad?? any glass chin/brain BS yet? :D lol ridiculous.

LOL. Did I just hear that his losses were "understandable"? Right... What I mean is that there are logical solutions to the problem, that they were more about what he did wrong...he could easily correct and win against Brewster and Purity, but Sanders, that is another story; he would problem have lost again if there was a quick rematch. Do you understand? Sometimes it is what you do wrong that makes you lose, easy solutions to win, but in the Sanders fight, it was Sanders that was the problem, not Wlad being stupid and wearing himself out. The two you can correct, the other, not so much

tripped, beez, he got tripped. it's fairly evident during the original view, less evident in the replays i think.

so...did he get up? uhm,,,,he collpased after the bell,,,,and yes he got up

Wlad looks like a doofus. lol,,,,most of us straight people dont notice or pay attention to the looks of a male fighter,,,,is this a personal problem?

Wlad looks like a doofus.
