Former WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko spoke to *********.com yesterday from his training camp in the Poconos. "This is the fight where I will regain my stature," promised Wladimir. "Samuel Peter is a young and stong fighter. A very exciting fighter. I am excited to be fighting him. When we found out we were fighting him I was very happy." Regarding the perception that he has a suspect chin, Wladimir stated, "They're basing that on just two fights, the fight with Corey Sanders and Lamon Brewster. It was never a problem before up until those two fights." He also said he plans to continue training in the Poconos. "The Poconos is a perfect place for relaxation and the best place to get into the proper frame of mind for a big fight."

Klitschko's trainer, Emanuel Steward said Wladimir has sparred about 120 rounds with fighters who are 6'3 or 6'4 between 230 and 240. "Wladimir has fought better opposition than Samuel Peter," commented Steward. "I remember vividly how he knocked out Charles Shufford with a short right hook, someone who Samuel Peter had trouble with. For someone with very long arms, his power is on the top of the punch, not on the end and he fights particularly well on the inside. It's not going to go the distance....the time is going to come that it's just going to be Wladimir and Vitali as the two best heavyweights." (Photo: Ed Mulholland)

Call me a sackrider if you want, but I just cant say enough good things about the Klitschko brothers. They are intelligent, good natured gentlemen in a sport of loudmouthed thugs who speak about themselves in the third person.

[jabsRstiff]

I think both Wlad & Samuel deserve a lot of credit for fighting each other.

I knock the heavyweight divison any chance I get....but I can't knock this matchup. It's very intriguing. Could go a variety of ways.

What the **** do you think this is? This is boxing, this isnt a ****in sport where you need to be humble, the objective is to destroy your opponent, not suck his **** in a sportsmanlike manner. You refer to "loudmouthed thugs who speak in a 3rd person manner", like i said, if your in the ring, and you dont believe your one of the best in the ring, then you dont need to be in that ring in the first place. This is a sport where you impose your physicial will on someone else. I could easily turn this in a race issue, since 99 percent of these "loudmouthed thugs speaking in 3rd person" are black. But to keep it civil, ill just tell you that the these guys are good for the sport in offering a contrast in personality, on the other hand, being the good gentleman that they are has earned them hardly any fans in america.


Inactivity from the older brother as well as blatntly ducking Hasim Rahman, a man he should be able to beat rather easily. And then a unique display of lack of heart from the younger brother. These guys are not the truth in the HW division.

i dont hate them, i said theyre personalities are good for the sport, but when you attack these loudmouthed thugs whom i actually like, then i have to say something. I accept all fighters and all personalities, i dont need my boxer to behave a certain way outside the ring, from wife beaters, to charity donors, a fighter to me is judged by his performance in the ring.

Who you guys think HBO will nuthug? Pete or Wlad? LOL. Maybe they'll diss ta shyt outa Pete cuz he reppin fo Showtime. Interesting.

note to everyone: Don't listen to HBO commentation!

[InThisCorner]

I dont mind HBO commentation. I like Merchant, Lampley can be a bit gay sometimes, but I loved when Roy commentated. Always states the right things, and he never goes back on his word.
