    Wlad performance against Thompson kind of disappointing?

    Disappointing? Are you disappointed by his performance against Thompson, I know Thompson is a tall southpaw who fights awkward and has a strong will to fight but still. And that knockout wasn't that great looking... If Thompson gave him this many problems, I can see Wlad losing in the future... I like Vitali the most, I think he is the better of the two. Stronger, and has a better chin. And I think if Vitali gets passed his training camp, even being older then peter I see him stopping and hurting peter badly.

    Not really... Klitschko was throwing the hard right hand a lot, but it's hard to look good against someone who covers up for 2:50 of every round and throws pitter patters for the entirety of their offense.

    Kind of like Calzaghe looking bad against Hopkins... a bad opponent can do that to you, no matter what you do.

              Tony Thompson had longer arms than Wladimir, was heavier than Wladimir, and was a southpaw to top it off.

              Wladimir didn't look like he was fighting Chris Byrd, he looked like he was fighting Tony Thompson. He won 10 of the 11 rounds, and ended it with KO.
              What are you going to do? Rag on him for dominating a fight against a fighter who was extremely awkward to fight?

                No. He just didn't THRILL me. Nothing horrible, though.

                    When did he dominate? I didn't see him dominate that much, he was punching Thompsons gloves alot... Thats not ****ing dominating.
