Tony Thompson vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[Consiglieri]

I don't think many Americans know who Thompson is, which kind of goes against the idea of adding more interest, but he has shown to be a good boxer and he's not a short guy. Two things he has going for him.

Doesn't look like he's a huge puncher though and his chin is still a question.

Any chance of Thompson getting a shot?

[The Hammer]

I'm hoping Wlad takes him on in May or June, and then fights Povetkin in the fall.

[WLAD OWNS]

Wlad vs Thompson would be a replay of Wlad vs Austin...He would end the fight whenever he feels like it...Wlad is pretty much unstoppable right now.

DONT KNOW WHO THOMPSON IS?!?!
I know who he is. haha

Thompson actually should be getting a shot, because hes been denied a title shot forever...but truth be told, Wlad is too fast, too skilled for Thompson. I think everyone knows this.

Thompson has a long jab and is pretty slick with his southpaw style. That's about all I can really say about his chances though. Klitschko would be the heavy favorite against a lot of guys, I agree.

I'd much rather see him fight Potvekin because of the styles. I want to see someone with a high workrate, and above average inside game against Wlad.

[Silencers]

He'll have to face Thompson if he wants to keep the WBO title, so I'd say there's a pretty good chance of the fight happening.

Klitschko beats him if they get in the ring.

the only thing that could ever possibly point to a Thompson win is his consistancy...he is always coming forward, throwing punches.

who knows, if Wlad decides to only jab and not throw a single right hand until the 8th round, Thompson could get the win...because Wlad is terrible at counter punching, and Thompson could prevent him from ever punching ever by constant pressure.
but I seriously doubt it. A lot.

From Thompson's perspective, he's not getting any younger at 36, so he should want to get in there and find out, either way.

He's a pretty good boxer who can win rounds before he gets knocked out.

wlad/thompson would be a total stinker. wald just seems to have trouble letting his hands go against awckward southpaws. him and povetkin would be much more exciting
