Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Haye, Klitschko-Adamek Venues Come Together

very true

The Klitschko's have robot like personalities and have had no competition.

Lennox Lewis ran through all the up and coming HW's and left the division totally destroyed for nearly 10 years. He was the last real HW that made people want to watch boxing.

it's astonishing how the brilliant answers and TRUE FACTS come from those who have just joined, have almost no posts and similiar points. You can still see last years soap behind their ears.

When I think Lewis, I see the exciting-to-exhaustion sleeping pill against Mavrovic, another against Tua, not to mention the revolting foul against Michael Grant, the less than thrilling fights against Holyfield, where Holyfield made all the fighting that was attempted, the Botha nothing, and...as a desert, the picture of Lewis stretched out versus both McCall and Rahman, both mediocre fighters.

I see hovering just above all these the razor thin escape from REAL slaughter agains vitaly Klitschko, and the "fAR less than "gentlemanly" behaviour by Mr. Lewis in both the pre and post fight interviews, and his forced escape from ignominious destruction into shabby retirement.

That he constantly has contacted Klitschko opponents with an offer of aid in how tobeat them, and that that offer has invariably failed to prevent the opponent's slaughter, is just icing on the cake.

And where would the English speaking world be without "definitely" "yes he needs to 'it 'im back"...and all the other trivial, inanities we had to suffer whilst he served his totally undeserving and VERY "modest" stint at the HBO microphone.

Ah yes,....indeed!

with all due respect to legit boxing fans who are also Klit fans - Klit die-hards are the worst boxing fans that I have EVER come across. totally pathetic. i am completely turned off of the heavyweight division and it's sad as hell.

Everything you just said is "100% RIGHT" because you Joined in 2004 and have 51,313,286.80 points and still growing.

If your points mean something then that says something about you. The amount of time you spend on posting and collecting points shows how smart you are.

Joining this site in 2004 doesn't mean ****.
The number of points you have don't mean ****.
The number of posts don't mean ****.

But then again that's just me.

If the Heavies have been exiting to you for the last 10 years then "HURRAY".

Some of us grew watching boxing and we appreciate the talent that the Klitschkos have shown but are far from impressed by the division they fight in.


Some of us grew up in boxing

If Haye comes through the Wlad fight the winner, do you reckon he'll fight Vitali later on in the year or stick to his plans of retirement?

Exactly what is a "robot-like personality". I can't wait to hear the reply on this. Because two guys can't speak english very well and are polite? I thought it was their fighting that was "robotic".

Lennox Lewis never had a 10 year reign fighting the top heavyweights. You're clearly mistaken about that, so where did you make that up. You can't even find a 10 year run from when he started fighting until he lost his first pro fight. He only fought a total of 14 years and lost twice and drew once in that 14 year period with the first 4 years being against nobodies.

People are writing Adamek off way too early, did people not see Klitschko Vs Solis ??? I know it was short lived but look how easy Solis was tagging Vit and slipping his punches, He lost because of a reoccurring knee problem and the fact he was 50 lbs over weight, nothing to do with the glancing blow that hardly connected with his head. Adamek is faster, fitter, smarter and takes a better punch than Solis so I'm expecting an upset on a points victory.

Yes, Solis was terrific.....the only problems was that he was fighting a guy who had KO'd nearly every opponent he'd faced for many years, and shows that he can and does still do it. Solis wasn't "slipping punches" he was throwing ineffectual combos most of wehich did NOT connect and was getting out as quickly as he could. AND there were very few of these. I recall about 3-4 combo's in total.

You see, "slipping" punches isn't enough. You also HAVE TO..NEED TO slip the punch which KO's you. And Solis did not do this....

To paraphase Shakespeare, "ALAS, poor Solis. I knew him well....."

If Haye actually, miraculously, beats Klitschko, he'll be so busy riding around in an pen car with a papiermache crown on his head, that he will fail to "come down from the clowds". The best we could hope from him, could be , that not being absolutely caught by a contract, he would not want to fight VK, but would love to be able to keep talking about it.

Of course I could be wrong, and tabby cats sometimes turn into tigers...with real stripes etc.

box office numbers dont lie

face the FACTS SONNY JIM

Lennox was far more of a exciting boxer than the Robot brothers

You mention Rahman, when we all know Lennox went into that fight out of shape and was only in SA for two weeks, which was a risk on his part as he did no adapt to the climate

The rematch where we saw a healthy focused Lennox where he out-skilled Rahaman and TKO'd him...at the end of the fight Rahaman admitted Lennox was too good for him, too fast. Rahaman floored Lennox because of a LUCKY punch, which happens in boxing sometimes, he could not do it again could he?

Anyways you can say whatever you like about the great lennox lewis, he was a great HW

Klitschkos could only dream of achieving half of what Lennox did

and i hope Haye does beat the robot that is Wlad, the HW division seems to be only enjoyed by germans these days

I guess you forgot to see Vitali knock him out with a light right to the temple? If Solis is 50 pounds over weight, thats his fault, not a lack of Vitali's abilities. I guess you missed the last 2 Adamaek fights too. He didn't look great at all against two weaker tall opponents meant to emulate Wlad or Vit. And last I checked the K bros are dominating everyone at heavy weight. They are no Mcbride or Michael Grant! Vit gave Lennox (who BTW was the heavyweight champ of the world) the fight of his life. Adamek did to little against these big guys, and fighting guys that are known not to fight. He lost to Chad Dawson at light heavy. And then Chad lost to Pascal, who lost to Hopkins later, B-hop was robbed. So please explain to me how you see Adamek winning this fight?

PS. Please don't mention the Solis fight. Solis was knocked out from one light punch. If he had a recurring knee injury, he could have seen a doctor or pulled out. But thats not what happened, he got caught by a Vit counter right on the temple and lost his balance, maybe he thru out his knee then. Point is Vit got him, end of story.

Listen I really like the Klit Bros and I think they aren't given enough credit, but you're talking about Vit vs Lennox as though it was in recent years. That fight happened a decade ago, How is Adamek going to beat Vit you ask? like I said on points- thats just my oppinion. Vit will be 40 when they fight and even when he was Adameks age he wasn't as fast as Adamek. It doesn't matter like you said that Vit walked through Solis's punches they still hit him and therefore still scored points, this isn't a street fight its a boxing match and the guy who hits the other guy the most wins unless he is knocked out and to be knocked out you need to be caught. But Vit isn't a one punch KO artist and has lost most of his speed and Adamek is quick and has a chin. Wlad might be a different story.

Also dont read too much into Adamek not scoring KO's against McBride or Grant, do you really think there would be a purpose of him selecting to fight taller fighters if he was going to close it in 4 rounds? No, what would he learn from that. I know you cant prepare for a KlitBro by fighting the likes of Grant and McBride but the aim is to stay in the ring for 12 rounds with a guy that big trying to get a KO, something Adamek cant practice in training.

And just to end, there's no way that Punch KO'd Solis, his frame on a dodgy knee did the damage, he was put off balance and the fat ****s knee buckled. That punch was no different to Danny Briggs KO punch over Briggs.

Anyway stop crying its just my oppinion its not like I called your mum a ***** or something.
