Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Admits Wladimir's Career on The Ropes in Defeat

[O Prophet]

Vitality knows his brother is getting his old clinching ass whooped.

No big deal if Wlad loses to Joshua. Boxing needs a fresh new fACE AT Heavyweight as long as Fury is gone. Let Joshua have a chance to do great things. Wlad was never great anyway.

LMFAO wlad was never good my ass. Undefeated for over 10 years with all the belts. His record says enough with 64wins 4 losses and 53 ko's says a lot. Show me any modern day HW with those stats. Sam peter was good when him and Wlad fought. I believe he was undefeated when they fought, KO'S in almost every fight. Yes Wlad went down quite a few times but still won the contest with pretty much ease. He could have finished peter in the 11th as well had he not been so timid from going down so many times but still looked good doing so.
Had Wlad had a Mike Tyson in his era he would have KOed him faster then any Lennox Lewis. And to add to that a prime Wlad vs Lewis I would have put my money on Wlad. Especially after watching big bro fight him. I had along with judges it 4 rounds to 2 for Vit. When they saved his ass from Vit. cut which was no worse or even better in the 6th then it was in the 2nd when it happen but it was a bad cut.

I know you're a bit of a scholar on the HW division but I don't think I've seen your opinion on Joshua before. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the guy.

I think he looks the part but I still got questions about his chin, stamina & experience. 18 fights & only 44 rounds. He has some decent names on his resume for only having 18 fights. He knocked out Kevin Johnson in 2 rounds. He beat Eric Molina & Charles Martin who are decent HWs but looked inferior compared to him. His wins over Whyte & Breazeale are solid but I think both guys are fringe contenders at best. How will he respond to getting a bad cut? Can he get off the floor & win? How will he deal with any adversity? 44 rounds is not a lot of experience. Let's face it he got a gift title from Tyson Fury. He is going from the fringe to top level opposition. Klitschko's chin & age are 2 huge question marks going into this fight. Joshua is the same size as Klitschko. He has all the advantages going into this fight except experience. It has been over a decade since Klitschko wasn't the favourite so we will see. Experience can be a factor sometimes. Joshua will have a chance to answer all my questions in a week...

Wlad never had a tough fight till Wlad threw the Fury fight. Lennox would have KO'd Wlad easily. Wlad had a decade run as champ of the heavies when there were no good heavies out there for a challenge. Personally I think Wlad would have stopped a prime Tyson and a Holyfield. Wlad was lucky the barrel was empty of heavyweight talent for 12 or so years. Hell the barrel is still empty at heavy. Joshua might be the best who knows? WlAD WAS MENTALLY WEAK same as Vitali was mentally weak. All communists are mentally weak.

It's not on the ropes. It's over. 40 y/o and hasn't fought in like 2 years. He has no titles after reigning for 10 years.

This is just a spectacle fight. They're acting like the Fury thing didn't already happen to keep the hype up.

"Wladimir, 41, has not fought since he was sensationally beaten by Tyson Fury"

wtf, fight was anything but sensational

I'd like to see Joshua win to bring fresh blood to the top but Wlad is so damn experienced and still can hit hard.

He might win and then we'd get a boring rematch with Fury. Shudder.

this, that fight was garbage as hell. Boring, close fight with wlad who cant pull the trigger and connect and shown a total unwillingness or inability to adjust. He was content with slowly building up a loss on the cards round after round, he had no real plan other than hoping the judges would throw him a bone. No sense of urgency or willingness to take some risk, let his hands go and go for the KO when he was behind, let fury beat him on activity with arm punches. low energy and sad, wlad is like the jeb bush of boxing.
