American heavyweights are not going to beat a Klitschko being out of shape, fair criticism by Lampley.

Agreed. And that's why the HW division is in survival mode. -
I agree. The Klitschko's are just so dedicated and in great shape all the times. None of these lady fat boxers are gonna do it. I mean if Arreola wanted that fight so bad, why wasn't he in better shape?Comment

Yeah, you could tell that Jim was pissed off by the lack of dedication Heavyweight have todya. I know alot of people miss Mike now. This two would have been straight victims in '88.Comment

It's the reason they run the show. They take their profession seriously.Comment
-
Totally Agree.
You guys will laugh, but Arreola looked like if he was in shape he could of actually outbox Vitally or something on that level.Comment
-
He didn't tire out early and didn't get KO'd, which proves he was in decent condition. Could've been a different story had he been in Vitali's shape.
I think he needed to pop his jab more and pressed the action and throw combinations like he promised.Comment

True!!!
The HW landscape has changed soo much in the US over the last 5 - 7 years, where we don't have that totally physically fit fighter's anymore - we just have large\Obease fighters.
The Klitchko's are tall, extremely well conditioned boxers and the only one I can remember who could deal with them was Lennox Lewis.
After Lewis ... "Forget about it".
HW's in the US have a long way to go, to get back on top.Comment

It's their job. Their profession. And the treat it that way. I think partly it's an Eastern European/Soviet thing. Alexander Karelin was the same way.
