    I can't believe you have this guy top five Run/W, when he gave up like a prime Lockett. At least when De La Hoya takes a dive he puts some effort into it.
    Dive? What are you talking about dive? Thompson gave 11 rounds of quality pugilism before being worn down by Klitschko. I think your definition of dive is a little bit off.

      I just can't believe what people were watching... it was like Bruce Seldon in his prime.

        From the wrong angle it looked like a missed punch, but it was a solid right on the jaw landed at just the right moment.

          Thompson never really sat down on his shots and just didn't have enough power to keep Wlad away.

          I wouldn't mind seeing Wlad in with a puncher that has some decent speed next.

            Really? In that case I may have to take it back. But I'm sure he took harder shots. His heart had gone, hadn't it?

              100 percent agreed.

                The only heavyweight who probably could fit that description would be David Haye, and he surely won't be next. But maybe Povetkin will have enough of both to at least test him?

                  Bad style matchup for Povetkin. He's a shorter fighter who stands straight up, right in punching range. I can think of better fights for Povetkin right now instead of Klitschko.

                    Wlad would probably jab his head off but if Povetkin could miraculously get inside without Wlad holding, he could rock him.

                    Could is the operative word. But I think Povetkin would probably give a spirited effort which is what needs to happen in the heavy division.

                      Journal Square, I've only just realised, not to say acknowledged within my culmulative mass of grey matter known to experts within the field of science as a brain, that you're the poster and member formerly and previously known and referred to and regarded as Asian Sensation, or the Sensational Asian.
