Wladimir Klitschko: "I'm going to take part in the 2016 Olympics"

[Ryn0]

If he goes back to the olympics it would be a ****ing joke. Olympic boxing isn't for professionals. His experience and traning alone are far more than any opponent he would likely face.

He's gonna beat Aerreola, WIlder, probably Jennings before he retires, unless wilder catches him with some lucky ****.

But the notion he'd go back to the olympics is disgraceful

Wilder will get caught and stopped before that happens. ***** fighter.

Why do so many people think this is unfair and Wlad would destroy everybody? It's not pro boxing.... I bet Wlad won't win. My money would be on a 25-30 year old Cuban who's been boxing in the amateurs his entire life.

It would be different...bearing in mind the points are based on clean and effective punching. Wlad would have advantages in terms of power, experience and just a more refined skill set probably, although one thing to note is that generally the guys fighting at super heavy in the olympics are legit big guys, physically the fights would be more or less fair or well matched in physical terms, in regards to a comparison for instance with the pros where you have former cruiserweights or just out of shape guys etc. The thing is, now it's going to be no headguard, this will give a big advantage to Wlad...these amateurs will never have experienced getting hit clean like that, it could well make it a mismatch (even more of).

Wlad is late 30's but late 30s these days isnt the same as it used to be because everyone is using gear.

Wlad will be in there with a bunch of 17-23 year olds knocking all of them out or jabbing them to death. They dont have a chance.

Is it a coincidence Cuba always does so good when they have older more experienced guys? of course it isnt.

Cuban has only been fighting other amateurs, which are all inexperienced compared to Wlad. Wlad has been fighting pros, which are more experienced than the cuban amateurs.

I can't see that they would allow Wlad and only Wlad to take part, that would be a ****** move...if it's open to pros i'm sure there will be pros who take part - notable I don't think, Wlad I presume would only get in on the basis of him probably retiring from the sport and wanting a swansong way to head out, and give publicity to the sport. Younger but experienced pros would likely not put their career on hold for that, it's mainly IMO for those fighters, as I stated, that had limited amateur careers and being in the early stages of the pros, and possibly for those who didn't get into the Olympics before.

The majority of Grabimir's professional resume is based on beating up pitiful amateurs. This turn of events doesn't make much difference.

I have to laugh at every Klitlicking fool on this thread who are praising him. I guarantee that if Grabimir had come out in this thread shooting down the prospect of him at the Olympics because it was unfair, EVERY Klitlicker would agree with that too.

Hilarious.

[mezoomozaa]

It will be a huge achievement indeed ! unprecedented 2 gold medals, 20 years apart :O

Even Ali the greatest couldn't have done this !

[Adamjr91]

So Wlad wants to ruin the Amateur ranks too? He is such a ****.
