    the highlight KO reel is definitely good to watch for any fighter, no doubt. i've been around sporting men & animals and like to think i have a ok eye for game qualities...Wlad whilst no doubt a clever man and a perfectionist, just doesnt leave me with the same feeling as his brother...i would rather watch a game loser then a winner who shows fear....it's just me and i dont expect others to agree with it

      But yes, these are some solid fights and it looks like 2011 will be the best year for them in a while. Adamek and Solis are the only legit contenders at this point willing to fight, so it's good to see Wlad and Vitali clearing them out.

      Unless Haye somehow is manages to make a fight with Povetkin (he won't), I think we'll see him in there with a Klitschko in 2011 as well.

      Clearing out the division yet again.
      How long do you think the Klitschkos will be able to keep this up realisticly?

        Wlad doens't show fear, if anything, it's his opponents who are scared to death to throw anything against him, I am not sure if you actually watch his fights after that statement.

          Vitali is still strong and looks good in the ring, but his age did show in the Sosnowski fight where Albert got a lot more shots in than he should have. I think if no young guys do anything to make names for themselves this could be Vitali's last year. Outside of Solis, Adamek, and Povetkin the only names worth bothering with are David Haye and Valuev, and those are more from a financially beneficial standpoint than a competitive one.

          Then again, he might stay another two years. I'm sure he'll base his retirement decision on his performances this year. He needs to be careful at his age though, I wouldn't want to see him pull a Kostya Tszyu and suddenly get old and hurt in the ring against some nobody. (EDIT: Not calling Ricky Hatton a nobody, but you know what I mean)

          As for Wlad, with his defensive style he could keep this up for a long, long time. He could easily fight until he's 39 or 40, and that would mean five more years of dominance.

          And they will be dominant. I don't see anything from the Rakhim Chakhiyevs and Deontay Wilders that would make me think any up-and-coming guys could be a real threat to Wlad. Deontay doesn't even know how to jab.

            Odlanier Solis will beat the **** out of Vitali and drive him into retirement.

            Chisora will outclass and toy with Wlad for a few rounds until he knocks him out.

            2011 is the end of both Klits.

              Exactly what I was thinking, I think Vitaly says he feels good but at 40 and multiple knee, shoulder, and back surgeries plus almost 25+ years of fighting in kickboxing and boxing, I am not sure I believe him. I think this is his last year, maybe 2012. Wlad, has had two shoulder surgeries already, so I am getting a little worried about that. But he doesn't have the trauma to his knees that Vitaly has had because he wasn't kickboxing like him, so just like you said, if he keeps not getting hit, I think he can go to 39 easily. Even though he will no longer be as quick or agile by then, his power will still be the same plus he'll be at least three times as experienced as any younger opponent.

                    It seems like trolling b*tches are admitting to be trolling b*tches. Didn't I say that if you a hater, don't post on this thread unless you are a trolling b*tch? Are you a trolling b*tch apollo33? Don't answer that, we already know.

                      The one thing I would question Wlad on is why he didnt take the March date that Vitali-Solis is scheduled for
