Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Says It's Too Early To Discuss Return

[Cereal]

Given the interest you have shown in it, you should watch the fight at some point. I remember watching it live.

Vitali fought a great fight but Lewis was clearly out of shape and was gaining momentum down the stretch.

Also, every diehard Klitschko fan fails to acknowledge that a punch from Lewis caused a horrific injury to Klitschko. There is simply no way that the fight could continue, it was down to the bone.

I also wonder if you would call Lewis a '***** ass' in person.

Shannon Briggs: "Vitali Klitschko is the best fighter I've ever fought, he is better than Lennox Lewis and George Foreman"

Lewis went life and death with Briggs. He was badly hurt several times and almost KTFO by Briggs.

Vitali is nearly 40 and is well past his prime. He is OLDER than Briggs. Vitali dominated every second of every round and destroyed Briggs. The fight should have been stopped. Any other ref or corner would've stopped the fight. Rounds 6,7,8,9,10,12 were all 10-8 rounds. It was a massacre.
Prime Vitali would've KO'd Briggs.

Lewis couldn't stop Levi Billups.
Vitali KO'd Levi Billups in 2 rounds.

Lewis was brutally KTFO by Rahman.
Wlad easily destroyed Rahman.

Lewis went life and death with Mercer and won a controversial decision.

Wlad annihilated Mercer in 6 rounds. He became the first man to knockdown and KO Mercer.

Twelve years between 'Mercer-Lewis' and 'Mercer- Klitschko'.
(Mercer 41 rather than 35).

Six years between 'Billups- Lewis' and 'Billups- Klitschko'.
(Billups 38 rather than 32).

Seven years between 'Rahman- Lewis' and 'Rahman- Klitschko'.
(Rahman 36 rather than 29).

Furthermore these fighters were in their respective primes against Lewis and far past it by the time they met the Klitschkos.

Basically it is clear that you have an agenda.

Do you realize that Lennox fought the younger, fresher and better versions of every single one of those fighters? Its a moot point what the Klitschkos did after the fact, UNLESSS they do worse....

An old Rahman was on his feet against Klitschko and fully alert when the fight was stopped in the 7th. That fight more than any other shows the speed, power, and skill superiority of Lennox. Why couldnt Wlad do better with the exact same trainer...against a much older, slower, Rahman?


As for Briggs, he and Vitali are practically the same age. Both were born in the early 70's while Lewis was born in 1965. Lennoxwas fighting at an age disadvantage against both. Still TKO'd them in 6 rounds or less.

I do, and so do you. Now, the fighters I really dont give a shit about are all these bantamweights whose names I ain't planning on remembering ever. But once someone's name bothers you enough to come in and write some rubbish about it and then present it as if not your own opinion, but an opinion of other people as well, it means it really concerns you.

green k given sir, he cares enough apparently to post about him. I would rather watch SMW and up over a bantamweight any day. There is just something about knowing that one punch from those dudes can kill you. I don't know about you but I am not really interested in watching anything under 140. I'll make an exception for certain fighters like Darichyan and Arce but if I see two unknowns on an undercard, I'll just change the channel, the HWs, I'll keep watching.

[WladIsTheChamp]

Unless it's Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, or any other great Heavyweight stuck in Wladimir Klitchko's body I don't understand why he would think we give a **** when or if he ever comes back.

If you don't give a ****, what the **** are you doing trolling posts about him? Isn't there some exciting malnourished 14 year old from a 3rd world country that is fighting that you could be posting about?

[WladIsTheChamp]

Wlad had trouble selling a guy with 14 fights to the major Television outlets.

1. HBO dropped Wlad....

2. ESPN may drop Wlad next

3 Shotime doesnt want him

4. No one cares about his boring-ass fights outside of Germany. 10 rounds of jabbing and hugging bums is not entertainment.

When was the last time (if ever) that Diva had a HBO or ESPN or Showtime fight? That's right, no one watches that lying coward outside of the UK, he is a one-country fighter, Wlad and Vitaly are WORLD fighters, they can have a fight anywhere in the world and millions will still tune in.

[WladIsTheChamp]

He fights 'frozen' opponents who cant or wont do anything to him, and spends 10+ rounds clinching and jabbing. Haye showed the world how to deal with a 'frozen' opponent when he destroyed Audley in 3.
Wlad's 'injury' is 100% a business decision. TV networks are turning against him and if he spends 10+ rounds with a rookie like Chisora he is in danger of losing more financial interests.

Its all about money.

LOL... you ****ing UK Diva boys are ****ing hilarious. So now you Diva's claim to greatness is beating a frozen Fraudley according to you? In case you don't remember, Diva was pooping his pants in that one as well, he FROZE himself, the ref had to WARN him for not fighting. When was the last time do you remember a HW champ ever being told to fight in a HW title fight? I guess Diva holds three records now: 1) Throwing the least amount punches in a 12 round title fight 2) Claiming to be a champion when he actually didn't really beat a champion 3) Being told by the ref to fight

[WladIsTheChamp]

Haye is a remarkable Boxer, and its amazing how he has carried his speed and power from Cruiser all the way to Super-heavyweight. He also has the highest KO% of any heavyweight champion past or present.

LOL.... now I know you are ****ing braindead. A remarkable boxer? He is sloppy as hell and he rabbit punches more than Sam Peter, every single one of these HW he beat were at least 36 years old and 8 years older than him: Barret (37, 9 years older), Valuev (36, 8 years older), Ruiz (38, 8 years older), Fraudley (39, 9 years older). He got his @ss kicked by a 40 year old SMW, got put on his @ss by an almost 40 year old Mormeck, and his only signature win at CW was chinny as hell Macaroni or whetever you guys call him over there. Diva has yet to face a top HW who is not past his prime, the only remotely good HW he faced was a crippled Valuev and he had to get on his bike for 12 rounds and still needed a gift decision.

Now your hero is going to run intor retirement at 31 rather than face a Klitschko, just like that other Brit did, except the other Brit actually had the balls to step in the ring with one of them at first (saved by the ring doctor in that one).

HBO dropped Klitschko's June 20 bout after Haye was replaced by Chagaev. Six months later they dropped Wlad altogether....What does that tell you?

This fake "injury' is all about TV deals, Haye and Money. Wladimir is in danger of becoming completely irrelevant outside the eastern Europe market. No one wants to carry his boring-ass fights.

Read all the recent articles and its more business talk than injury talk. Funny how I called this out weeks ago and it has all come true.
