Klitschkos dominance is due to Conditioning

[dammage7]

I was so impressed by vitali at teh weigh in. for a 40y old, he look is amazing shape for his fight. it puts in perspectivr to other heavyweight challengers especially from states like chambers, arreola, toney, rahman, austin, briggs, who are all in pretty awful shape. even likes of solis, tyson fury, all carry alot of fat.

Vitali were basically fat free yesterday.

he will probably fight Haye and Valuev then retire.

Steward has said many times that what sets the Klitschkos apart from all the other HWs is their athleticism and their work ethic. He said it was the biggest difference between the US HWs who turn up out of shape wearing their ipods and taking their training too casually. If you want to hear the interview yourself, you can search for it on the Steve Bunce podcasts.

Arreola isn't that obese anymore and Shannon Briggs is in amazing condition for a 40yr old man, if anything he has too much muscle mass, though his stamina problem was down to him having stamina.

Arreola finally got serious about his career, but you wonder much better he would have been with the same work ethic throughout his career.

Solis makes me mad. He has so much talent but he's about 20 pounds over what he should be for his size. I see that as wasting your talent, if you can't make that final commitment for what is a pretty short career in terms of making money and retiring unscathed.

I agree he is very talented, though wasn't Solis close to 270? (probably around 300 or more now lol) 270 is ridiculous, 40-45lbs too much IMO. Nice to see the likes of Tyson Fury changing their habits & coming in in better shape though I don't rate Fury too highly myself

This is probably the best attribute to the Klitschko brothers is their conditioning. Most of the heavyweights of today don't train well and it is clear from their appearance and performance. I won't say that don't work hard, but they don't work hard enough and they don't do enough endurance training and fast-twitch muscle endurance training. Because the Klitschko brothers train in those areas along with a style that waste unnecessary energy, their size gives them the ability to dominate. They will continue to dominate until the other get realistic about being the best. I think Haye trained correctly but he isn't as mentally confident as he claimed. If he was, it would have been more realistic with an injured toe that he went for a KO in every round. Instead he fought like he left his scrotum in the locker room. That basically tells me that Haye is confident in his hurting skills but not confident is ability to take a punch or he is simply scared of getting hit.

I think the Klitschko brothers are good and the best in this era hands down, but they have more to prove to down in the ATGs list of heavyweights. IMO...Vitali shouldn't waste his time with the Jolly Russian Giant. There is no money in that fight...it would be an easy win for him...and it wouldn't be exciting at all, nobody wants to see that. It would be much better to get a fight that would raise his stock on the ATG list. James Toney (future Hall of Famer) or a rematch with Lennox Lewis (Future Hall of Famer) is much better for him. We know that he won't fight his brother but this would be epic if he did. That's a fight win, lose, or draw that would go down in fight history and everyone would be at the edge of their seat leading up to the fight until the last bell.
