I attended Wlad Klitschko's Training Camp Today

[Mr. Ryan]

I say this becuase I remember in an earlier james toney thread you stating "you cant stand wlad but toney would have no chance" or something to that effect. anyway,,,I was just curious. must have been cool being there

As a fan, I can appreciate his technical skill. He's an incredible talent and no Toney would never have had a chance. At that point, I was very much ready for a changing of the guard in the division, cleaning out anyone who was a top 20 ranked heavyweight as of 2002 and bringing in new blood. Wladimir has proven staying power and for that he must be respected.

[Mr. Ryan]

Is Klitschko still pawing the jab? Not that it will matter if Ibragimov stands in front of him.

When his opponent kept his hands up, yes. When his man was tired and had his hands at his sides, he fully extended.

[Nwahs !!]

I've never disliked him, how could I dislike someone who I don't know. Am I a fan of his? I'm not big on any of the current heavyweights, really. But he seems like a nice person. I have no reason to believe others.

Whats your beef with Wlad? Did he reject your advances?

What's with the stalkage? E-mail Rick Reeno if you want my autograph. No photographs, please.

It absolutely amazes me what Klitschko gets away with. Too many sins go unpunished. If a man as inept as Rocky Marciano could throw an overhand right, you have to wonder what the hell is wrong with these modern heavies?

I know that your endowment angers you greatly, but please do not take it out on me.

you either have him mixed up with vitali or your lacking in boxing iq. you can criticize his chin and psyche but his jab is world class. he throws it with a lot of force and leverage

glad to hear you have respect for him. hopefully he wont take another stumble backwards. I think sultan is going to be much more dangerous than many on here think. sultan gets too bad a rap on his awful fight with austin in which he was clearly ill prepared and 12 lbs overweight. his hand speed ,,movement and southpaw stance will bother wlad at least for a while in my opinion. whether he can make wlad mentally unravel remains to be seen but I'll definitely be nervous watching it

Good to see someone realizes it.

I seriously doubt Sultan would even take the fight just to lay down (which some are even suggesting). It's a unification bout for christ's sake.

I also think people make too much of his bout with Austin. Didn't really take him serious and kind of ****ed around a little bit. He has been very good lately. He is probably the 2nd best heavyweight next to wlad.

And yes, he is going to shock the world and knock him out.

Actually, if you go to a boxing gym, you would be surprised how many famous fighters you meet. Its not like other sports, they are not locked away in some cage away from the public.

Its not all the difficult to get interviews with these fighters at the gym. They are not that intimidating, and 99% of them are some of the nicest people you have ever met.

I go to Gleason's gym (Well haven;'t been there in some time)

I barley seen anyone. Just Paulie Mallinaggi, Edgar Santana and Judah a couple of times.
