    Wladimir - Castillo, still not convinced after replay?

    Come on you doubters. Are you still saying that the fight was fixed? The replay clearly showed that it was a legit punch. I can not believe that some of you still want to make it look like Wladimir just blew the guy and he fell after feeling the wind. The slo mo replay clearly showed that the punch landed cleanly and had some effect. Was it enough to Ko Castillo? No one knows that except Castillo, but still Wladimir did what had to be done.

      ...He rocked his frickin head off with that punch!!!! Castillo was feeling Wlads power from the start and he knew he was in big trouble.

        OK, a couple of things. There are more crazy fundamentalists on this post then there are in the white house! (thank you, thank you, tip your waiters and try the veal) Number one, the fight was not fixed for god's sake- that is the problem with our sport, because of the rap it has the damned conspiracy theorists will just not go away! It was a legit fight and the worse guy got KO'ed! Second, why are Wlad fans already getting carried away?!? I mean, yeah your guy won- but Castillo is a fringe contender at VERY BEST. This win means little in the grand scheme of things and Wladimir probably needs AT LEAST another three or four fights against the push over kind of guys to get his confidence up before he even thinks about fighting an actual heavyweight contender again. This is the one thing that bugs me about the Klitschko's, no matter what happens in the ring their fans think they are one fight away from being the best fighters in history...

          At least 3 or 4? IMO Wlad would beat any top heavyweight without the lethal combo of good chin and power which very few of them have. And more likely than not, if Wlad can't get Byrd next, he'll probably be in there with a top 20 heavyweight without a good chin and/or power.

            I rest my case...

                All I am saying is that to argue my comment Wlad fan's can get a little 'over-zealous' in where they think there fighter is right now, a Wladimir fan talks about him beating most heavyweights and contending for a title in his next fight. I think Wladimir is ultra talented, but right now is not the time to rush him. He looked horrible even in victory against Williamson (who is not a contender), looked horrible against Brewster (who was not a contender until after that fight), got KO'ed by Sanders (who was barely on the radar at that point) and when he beats Castillo (who is a blown up cruiserweight and is not a contender) people start talking about Wlad like he is the second coming of Liston or something. Can he challenge for a title again someday? Certainly! Can he do it right now? No chance.

                  You obviously are missing the point here, so there's really no point to drag this on.
