    Have you even seen ANY of his fights in the last few years? Besides Wlad has never been counted out, and all of his knockdowns were due to stamina/balance issues, which Emanuel Steward has corrected.

      Katsidis needs to get another fight happening quickly against a decent fighter, other wise he'll become forgotten.

        Aha, I see. What about in the first round against Corrie Sanders?
        Was he gassed already?

          Vitali also needs to prove himself also. He needs to show his fans and critics he can make it out of training camp healthy instead of leading people on. If he cant make it from training camp in fighting condition, I think he needs to call it a career.

                No one with a "glass" chin as you call it could hold a world heavyweight title for this long.

                    he has developed a style that prevents him getting hit too much, a pretty simple jab straight right tactic that fair enough it works for him ... but sooner or later somebody will tap that chin and down he does

                      John Duddy has to definetly prove himself. So has Bernard Dunne.
                      And I think that Andrew Golota has to prove somethin as well.
                      I mean he proved what he's capable of. Gettin KTFO, blowing fights completely, giving the bout away in the last round while he's winning it, that he's capable of gettin DQ'd but he also proved that he can win a big fight when he's mentally ready, put up a good performance, beat the count and he proved that he has some power too. But the thing is that he got robbed twice in championshipped fights and he has yet to prove that he is capable of becomin a world champion. Period.
