Props to Wladimir Klitschko. A great champion.

I'm no big fan, but I respect the man. And, have respect for Thompson as well, he gave Wladimir some issues early on and landed some decent shots, he just got caught with a big shot. Question, though. How long do you guys think Wladimir can fight? How much longer I should say. I prefer the way he fights now, then he did a few years ago. I just really wish him and Vitali would get it on. That would be awesome, and I'd have to think you Klitschko fans would agree, right? I think someone like Luis Ortiz could give Wlad some big problems. And I think he'd give Vitali even bigger issues because of his hand speed. I also like Kubrat Pulev and Franklin Lawrence too. I'm not sold on Boystov or Povetkin. And not too high on Wach either. I think Fury and Price have big potential as well.

Sad part is people will act like the HW division is better in 10 years when the playing field is more even than we've seen with the Klitschko bros.

its unfair to have these guys steal money and parade around as champions What? "Steal money"? Who the f*ck else are they supposed to fight? Who are these massive names they're avoiding and "stealing money" by choosing easy-money, easy-win fights? "Parade around as champions"? You're telling me a boxer with an undefeated championship streak of 8 years, knocking out almost everyone in the process doesn't deserve to be called a champion? You might not like the state of the division but both those accusations are plain retarded. Whether they're sh*t or not, they're fighting everyone they're supposed to, and if people want to pay to see that, what's the damn problem? Retard.

Wlad has been a great champion. In this run since Byrd II, I agree. He had a long learning curve but it worked out for him.

This is the best single run as a champ since Tyson 86-90 and is getting into Holmes 78-85 stuff. Wlad is a bad dude. Wlad has been a great champion.

I don't know why do people want to see Wlad and Vitali fight. It's unfair to ask for that. The Gracies never fought each other, the Shamrocks never fought eachother, the Marquez's have never and will never fight eachother, the Mayweather's never fought eachother, and so on. Stop calling for the Klitchko's to fight each other.

Has to make a living? He definitely has enough money to live comfortably. Wlad should just retire instead of fighting for the sake of it. Hey, if he enjoys fighting, he should fight for as long as he wants. I shudder to think of the heavyweight division when he leaves.

He can only fight what's in front of him. The only real challenge out there was Haye, and he beat him easily, so what's he supposed to do? The man has to make a living. Has to make a living?

It's unfair to Wlad that these are the fighters he fights in his career. It's clear that we will never know just how good Wlad is, because he will never get an opponent to prove it against. He and Chisora really should fight, at least Chisora will be a man in the ring, and not walk around the ring without throwing punches, just trying to survive. Wlad could probably keep dominating the division for another three or four years, maybe more, the way he is right now. I don't see anyone coming up that I really think will be ready to take him down before then. He won't lose again until he gets old IMO, if he fights that long.
