Comments Thread For: Weekend Thoughts: Klitschko and What Could Have Been

[Tiozzo]

After Wlad destroyed Byrd I don't think there was much call for Vitali to do the same thing. But no, he didn't avenge that one, even though he was winning the fight as usual when injured.

And Lewis retired rather than face Vitali again, so you are full of **** on that one, buddy -- you can't "avenge" something if you aren't given the opportunity. Lewis held on to the belt for a year and when Vitali was made his mandatory, he retired.

Vitali, unlike Lewis, has never been knocked cold by anybody.

Just the facts. Like you said, a medal has two sides. That's as true of Lennox as it is with anybody.

I never said he didn't want to avenge his losses
I said he didn't avenge those losses (fact)
so unlike Lewis, he never could reach redemption for looking like a quitter and looking like raw meat against Byrd then Lewis
Lewis got redemption after getting stopped by the journeymen
I fail to see where I'm full of ****

sure they are dominant,but sure are they boring safety first people robbing fans of entertainment.

they got the power to ko half the bums they fight as soon as they man up and go for it,and i think they should look for harder challenges too before haye even
came on the scene.

if they beat hollyfield and toney ile give them full credit. sure both guys mentioned are older,but more skilled than any prospects or ranked contenders.

if not fight each other after haye and or valuev

I think (and hope) they both have too much respect for Holyfield to give him a shot
they would hurt him at this point

Any fan of Holyfield, Toney or Tua, any fan of boxing, any fan of life should be against them fighting the Klitschko's. Why doyou want either to get their faces caved in. I mean, the Klitschko's punish, I mean absolutely punish their opponents. People are criticizing them and saying their boring. Theyre only boring in that they 1. Are in no hurry in their fights and 2. Tend to completely dominate. They take their time and beat opponents down with precision. Putting them in with ancient guys, especially someone like Holyfield known for being a warrior. Ugh, why do people want these guys to be like Ali? I dont get it. They cant beat the klitschko's, they cnat come close. They will get hurt.
