Fittest looking HW besides the Klit brothers and Haye that I've seen in a while.

Yeah Sosnowski is a very strong, built like a tank. He trains with Mariusz Pudzianowski.

Hey boxing fans! I just dug an interview of WK about a possible unification fight later this year (september or october). From Ukr."Sport Today",translated by gUgle:

Unifying fight is always a priority for any of the boxing version. It is written in their rules. I was given the green light. Just as Hey. The question of revenge against retired Ruiz irrelevant. Briton may conduct a free defend his title WBA. At this time Heyu do not interfere to meet with me, "- said of Klitschko.

Boxer did not disclose details of the negotiations and to comment, as will be fee-splitting. But, said: "I do everything that the conditions have been financially beneficial Hey. I am ready to make concessions that will allow our fight take place."

Well, what WBA godess is waiting for???? Apocalypse???? Anybody knows how to force Diva Gay to step in a ring with WK???

I don't care what the current state of the Heavyweight division is; Vitali Klitschko would be an imposing (and probably dominant) figure in any era.

I'm an historian of the division, and it is in a sad state now, but this guy, at his best, would be a beast for anyone. How would Frazier or Louis hope of ever even getting to this guy? How would Liston handle a crack from a Klitschko straight right? What would Ali do when yielding 4" and a ton of reach to a guy who's jab is just as good, but twice as powerful?

I'm not claiming that Klitschko is a GOAT candidate; far from it. But in the head-to-head department, he's awesome. It's a shame he was sidelined with so many injuries, and a bigger shame that we can't get this division going again. When the heavyweights are exciting, boxing is on top of the world. Mike Tyson brought it to its zenith and then subsequently tore it (and his career) down when he went with Don King.

i still think patterson's and liston's reigns were weaker

outside of johansson and williams those days were pretty dead

jack johnson's comp wasn't anything to rave about either. he's one of my all time favorite heavyweights, but he was pretty much alone back then

Your comment is nonsense. Sosnowski is European Champion and was available and willing to fight Vitali. That puts him in very select company.

You should be praising Vitali for staying so active. At least he's not sitting on his ass all the time like David Haye.

**** all that fight Toney he's only been calling them out for years...But because he can box they won't fight him.
