It's tragic to see what the premier weight class of boxing has become.

Wait, who? Who the furrsrassake!!!!!!!

What a joke.

To be fair, if I were Wladimir Klitschko, I'd be happy mopping up bums for big money. His hilarious losses have eliminated his "ATG" potential, so best to stick rather than twist. Rack up wins, retire incredibly wealthy, and laugh at the world.

[Jloro]

draw lmao

[devildg]

get rid of the light heavyweight division and just call it heavyweight

the "heavyweight" as we know it now is just full of fat stiffs

This fight is disgusting and inexcusible, seeing as Pulev has been in line for a title shot for nearly 2 years now. I was willing to give Wladimir a free pass for the Mormeck fight, seeing as nobody of note wanted to fight him at the time, but now there's at least 3 guys (Pulev, Fury, Wilder) who would take the opportunity right now and make an interesting fight of it.

Wladimir had better get Leapai out of there in less than one fucking round to erase this mess. If he so much as pushes him down once or falls into a clinch on his own, then he truly is a glass-jawed bitch like everyone says.
