Comments Thread For: Photos: W. Klitschko is Working Hard For Leapai Defense

[Black Barty]

Wladimir has never tested positive for PEDs as an amateur or as a pro.

That doesn't mean he is clean. You know how it works: never having tested positive means nothing, unless you are talking about Pac. He is squeaky clean.

Wlad has been more reckless, IMO, since the passing of Manny. His defence used to be incredibly tight; now, under Jonathan Banks, he gives his opponent more chances (see Wach fight for example).

Look who are the ones getting busted left and right, they just can't stomach that someone of a different flag/color/etc can't be great.

Wladimir will make a statement and KO Leapai in fashion. He will shut up all the haters.

Even if he KOd him with the first punch he lands, it still wouldn't make a statement.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Yes he took one punch vs Wach that rocked him a little, but the same has happened under Stewart. In all the other fights he's had under Banks, he really hasn't taken many punches at all.

It's really incredible to see a 38 year-old boxer to be such an athlete. I can't see any heavyweight that is as athletic as Wladimir.

Constant hard work, dedication to the sport and and discipline always pay off.

Good pics of the champ. He's looking focused as usual. I'm hoping he's a little more aggressive with his offensive as he has the ability to the dispatch of Leapai quickly.

Also, anyone know who his sparring partners are in this camp? Any word from "the Chef?"

Wlad is starting to look more like big brother as he gets older. Hopefully he brings the pain like Vitali as well.

Emmanuel Steward: "Wlad, I sense my end is near. I will tell you my last secret. I've never told anyone... until now. Clinching is not enough. Sometimes... you gotta jump. I want you to practice every day until you soar to heights never before seen in a boxing ring. Your glass chin will be unreachable. Unless you are fighting Michael Jordan. Never fight Michael Jordan."

Why you disrespectful pr*ck.

I lol'd though. I can't lie.

Yes it would, dumbass.
