Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lucas Browne Eyed For Hamburg, Dec. 10

[joe strong]

Oh please shut up, no one is looking forward to or cares about any of the guys you mentioned fighting for the WBA belt over Wlad. All of them would be punching bags for Klitschko, even Browne is a punching bag, but atleast he holds a belt and is undefeated. Wlad is far more deserving than anyone in the division based on resume alone.

What belt? he didn't get the WBA regular title back. He got reinstated to the top 5. They do have rankings & Oquendo & Browne won legal battles to receive title shots. Unless they dissolve the tourney then Wlad would be fighting Ustinov & the winner would fight browne/oquendo winner. The WBA has not approved Wlad's request yet nor did the WBO grant him his wish of bypassing Parker.

disappointed we are not getting Wlad/AJ asap, but im not upset at Wlad/Browne. im intrigued actually. Lucas is rough and he's of comparable size (6'5) so Wlad can't do that lean-on-you shyt he pulled on Sasha and other shorter guys.

So lets see, after over a year of a layoff and being 40 years old, coming off a loss, what makes more sense, to jump into a fight immediately with a top ranked upcoming fighter (Which he was going to do originally) Or take advantage of a tuneup that comes with the WBA strap and then set up a potential unification mega fight in the summer?

I swear NSB is filled with a bunch of fan boys that barely hit puberty and don't know how to use logic.

Hold on a second, why does he need a tune up? he wasn't supposed to fight Fury until the end of the month so you're telling me he wasn't ready for that fight?

I don't really blame Wlad for taking the easier route, he's 40 years old, he's no where near the fighter he was 10 years ago but call a spade a spade, he is taking the easier route and avoiding a fight with Joshua.

Most people call that a duck, even if it turns out to be temporarily.

what you on about. I dont have the right to complain cause he ducked joshua to fight 'big daddy' lucas browne? This was wlads chance to end his career on a high and hes bottled it...

You guys believe Hearn word to word.. be logical or at least look up his interviews 2-3 weeks back
the discussions started with WBA &/or WBO on the line along with IBF, Hearn was yapping about a unification of sorts..
Now, he is saying Wlad bottled it because WBA belt was not on line?? C'mon man, be consistent & not roll with Hearn's speculation.. Hearn himself has said it's not right time for AJ, less likely it will be for Dec 10th blah blah.. All along they knew a fight on this size needs to be market & hyped up i.e., Stadium fight..
You think all of a sudden it fell through? Hearn is still in talks with Boente everyday (according to his recent interview) & says WBA should sanction it but he has no control...

You can spin off your own story with what you have read today, don't forgot the proof for everything Hearn has said over these 2-3 weeks is out there..

P.S - WBA is due to announce if they are sanctioning the fight or not. If yes, then Wlad-AJ happens now else next summer..

i dont give two ****s about the belts. And neither should wlad, or you. Whats going to do more for his CV, beating joshua, or beating some mediocre fighters to win the wba?

Browne has beaten a better boxer than Joshua has fought.

Not saying he's better than Joshua or anything, but he's certainly not a nobody.

Wlad looked vulnerable against Jennings. Many of us pointed it out on this site. Then he lost his next fight to another young HW in Fury. Browne is a soft 24-0 with his only decent win coming against an old & out of shape version of Ruslan Chagaev. He then failed his drug test. He has beaten nobody else. Sure he has a few faded names on his resume like James Toney & Travis Walker but he also had serious issues with Rudenko & Julius Long. At 37 he is nothing more than a HW with a padded record who scored a lucky home run punch against a fading former champion. Browne is an easy fight for Wlad & everyone knows it. He is not going to fight Wilder or Joshua & I doubt he fights Luis Ortiz. He's had a great career but I doubt he fights any of the top guys. If he wants to fight softer touches then why not fight Ustinov then the winner of Browne/Oquendo? His TV deal would be done by then & he could retire the WBA champion right before he is ordered to fight Ortiz...

Lol @ somehow believing that Wladimir is scared to fight Joshua or other top heavies. He wants a WBA title fight and was willing to do it with Fury or Joshua (the best in the division) but they both fell through (assuming the WBA doesn't approve the Joshua fight) and it's not Wladimir's fault. From day one, he said the fight was a go if the title was on the line and even was able to get HBO to play ball.

Wladimir scared!?!?! Bahahahahaha!!!!
