Comments Thread For: Photos: Sosnowksi Ripped and Ready For Vitali Klitschko

He's going to gas really quickly with that much muscle mass and become a slow heavy bag for Vitali to beat to a pulp.

That might not be true, Tyson was a big guy for his frame and he was fast and had good stamina. Though most of Tyson's wins came early, I still believe he had pretty solid stamina.

Impressive..

I know its based on power, but I think Wlad even the crappier version of Wlad(the one that had a shottier defense) has the hand-speed and power to get to Briggs before Briggs gets to him.

There is about a 1% chance that the current version of Briggs could beat Wlad.

Because of his stamina he just couldn't keep the pressure up long enough to get to Wlad who would simply jab and move until Briggs was sucking wind.

I think the main point he was trying to make though is that if someone is going to beat Wlad it will be a guy like Briggs who comes out like a bull and has the power and balls to try to get the job done right from the get go.

A version of Shannon Briggs that could fight hard for more than 90 seconds would be an exciting matchup for Wlad.

Sadly there is nobody who comes close to having that combination of style, conditioning and power.

Yeah, Ike was a big guy with stamina too. I guess some people are just freaks though, regardless of how much training they do. Training certainly helps though.

Sosnowski has got the muscles part down.

Now all he needs to do is stop training and back out of the fight and he can potentially become the next David Haye.

LOL. Nice!

Well we saw how ripped Jeff Lacy looked vs a Joe Calzaghe who looked like he just got off the couch and went inside a ring with his Pavlik-esque body. 120-108.


How about the undefeated Bryant Brannon who was ripped as hell for the RJJ fight and even Merchant was like "Roy is actually taking on a legit challenge with this guy" blah blah blah, something like that I know he said Brannon is a tough challenge. TKO2 LOL

I don't think Ike had great cardio. He just had a superhuman hatrid burning deep down in his soul and it fueled him in his relentless quest to destroy human lives.

He is always in impressive physical condition but his stamina hasn't always been great. I don't doubt Sosnowski's conditioning and preparation in this fight though, he just doesn't the skills to compete with Vitali from what I've seen.

Hopefully he will give it his all, that's all we can ask for.

yeah what he said this guy has the most impressive physique Vitaliy will have faced in a long time, 2 bad he was KO'd against Zuri Lawrence but maybe he's gotten his stuff together since.

Sosnowski has steadily improved since the Lawrence debacle. I'm not saying he can beat Vitali, but he said he would be in great shape and he is, and he says he will give it everything he has in the ring and I'm sure he will. A lot of Polish fans will be at the fight and Sosnowski will not want to let them down with a poor effort. Credit to the man so far for what is obviously a lot of hard work in the gym, unlike VK's last couple of opponents.

What worries me is that these little discussions about what could have been are more entertaining than these Klitschko fights. Then you get people like Tunney saying we're haters. It's really not hatred at all, just boredom.
