    Please Wladimir Klitschko.. no more bums!

    There's never been a "unified" heavyweight champion i can think of where i don't want to miss a single fight of theirs, apart from Wladimir.

    The only wlad fights in the last 3 years that i was interested in were Haye, Thompson and Povetkin. The other 4 fights Wlad had were just throwaway fights, they had zero value and were against virtual bums. That's only 3 fights out of 7 against decent fighters.

    Put it this way.. If Wlad spent the next two years fighting Chisora, Fury, Wilder, Jennings and Stiverne I would tune in to ALL those fights.

    Please Wladimir.. no more bums.

    Those guys are all crapper than Haye.

    But you're right: Wlad should assign himself better mandatories.

      Cannot really BLAME Wladimir for fighting his mandatory opponent when he holds all those belts. He was supposed to fight Boytsov, remember, Leapai upset Boytsov so here we are.

      But yes, hopefully he will end up fighting better opposition. He should fight the winner of Arreola/Stiverne and unify all the titles within the next year or so. Lets see what happens. Personally, I will tune into all of his fights regardless, cause we are witnessing a boxing legend here.

        Unfortunately, I think Wilder is being groomed for that title.

          yeah but Haye was too small and Wlad was allowed to grab and lean on him all night to sap his strength.. ref didnt even take one point off him.. it was ridiculous he gets away with that.. basically the deck was stacked against haye from the get go mainly for those two reasons..

          at least with those other guys they're natural-sized heavyweights and have some decent skills even though the referees will still let Wlad get away with excessive clinching all night.. but he might have more difficulty doing it so regularly because of the size/strength of the opponents..

            Actually the ref did take away a point. Get back to me when you actually watch his fights, moron.

              No more bums? I'm not a fan of his but I've got to say that there is no one out there that won't look like a bum compared to him. It's just the way it is, let's not pretend. Doesn't mean he shouldn't fight them anyway.

                Wladimir shouldn't fight his mandatory who earned his shot? The guy who beat Boytsov is a bum? Wladimir should VOLUNTEER to GIVE UP something he won to avoid a fight so somebody who you call a bum can walk around calling himself the heavyweight champion of the world or have the guy who beats said so called bum do it? I don't think so. I'd rather have him take a Leapai than have guys who couldn't compete with him walking around getting to "dispute" who the real champ is with a claim.

                  agree with OP the fights just aren't entertaining or competitive ...
                  however if he was to line up and go through the likes of Fury, Chisora, Wilder, Pulev, Stiverne etc I would 100% buy/tune in. But I didn't bother watching his last fight.
