Klitschko will win people over

[Southpaw16]

First off im not big on Lewis, and i hated the Tua fight but in Tua he had THE hardest one shot puncher in the division in front of him, not Sultan Ibragimov.

I hear u tho, people epreciate u more when ur gone

That's true, Tua was pretty dangerous. Whatever the hell happened to that guy? If he kept training hard he definately would have been holding at least some sort of title belt by now. He was a really interesting character too.

He was damn good but now? He's just a lazy fat plodder! Imagine he had beat Lewis that woulda set the stage for Tua vs Tyson man how good would that fight have been!

Wladimir Klitschko will eventually get the respect he deserves if he keeps winning. It was the same way for Lennox Lewis, who had the big knockout loss to Oliver McCall, and was a European so North American media wanted to say this and that about his. Haha, I remember Ring Magazine's cover headline before his fight with Michael Grant "Lewis will quit or will get knocked out".

People will drone on and on about how bad the heavyweight division is for a long time, and then eventually realize that we have a pretty good heavyweight champion. There is a 6'5" European winning all his fights and holding some of the heavyweight belts. He is a former olympic gold medallist and is said to have a suspect chin, but a really big straight right hand. Trained by Emmanuel Steward. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

It just takes time to win people over. The problem is right now every Klitschko victory, the first thing that is going to come up is how bad his opponent was and how bad the heavyweight division is.

he needs to fight on a more regular basis

He'll get my respect if he wins convincingly against Povetkin, Haye and Arreola.....if/when that happens, he'll be my favorite heavywaeight of this generation.......

Lewis was cautious up to a point, but there was times when he showed he could brawl too. Wladimir Klitschko is just not exciting at all. Lewis always had a bit of a 'devil' in him. Most champions usually do. But Klitschko seems to lack any fire in his belly at all, which is quite rare I think.

wlad knows his limitations and has developed a style to protect his chin..cant knock the guy..it got him off the canvas and to the top of the ranks

He will earn my respect if he fights and wins convincingly against Haye and Dimitrenko. I don't think Arreola will cause him any problems and neither will Povetkin.
