By Jake Donovan - Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson have done their best to insist that things will be very different in their rematch this Saturday at Stade de Suisse in Bern, Switzerland.

Friday’s trip to the scales for the official weigh-in serves as a good starting point.

Klitschko came in at a career-high 249.12 lb, while Thompson’s weight of 244.71 lb was his lightest in more than five years. [Click Here To Read More]

Most doormen look in better shape than Thompson.

Wlad will flatten him. Again.

i thought wladimir's arm looked to be carrying a bit more bodyfat than normal in that first pic. and then when you see him posing without a shirt you see a little bit of extra flub on the inside of his forearm. not a lot at all, mind you, but more than we're used to seeing. a good deal more, actually.

he's still in shape, but he looks like he's not in the shape he's achieved in the past.

and the scales don't lie. evidently he's the heaviest he's been.


he as almost certainly taken thompson lightly. i'm not saying he's a slacker, but at his age with a body of his size you only have so many hard training camps. he probably trained full time, just not as hard as he normally does.


when you're bigger, faster, more skilled, the much harder puncher, and you've already laid your opponent out like a slumbering baby, you're going to go into the fight with confidence

why is this fight even happening?

it was either thompson or chambers who had both won eliminators & then chambers got hurt & pulled out of final eliminator giving thompson the shot...

i don't know what doormen you have in your hometown but the doormen in edmonton look alot more like butterbean then thompson. i think thompson looks in better shape then i ever seen him in. not every HW is ripped like wlad...

see, stuff like that, i dont care about it at all. not in the least. i rank guys in my head and ideally you can follow a lineage to determine who the real champion of a division is

i guess that's the official reasoning behind it, but in reality joe you and i know damn well that there's no "reason" behind this fight.


it will be nice to see wladimir put on a clinic. he's a great fighter who has made no noticeable decline.

Thompson needs a funeral director not a coach.
