Klitschko vs. Brock - who you got?

[Guest]

My friend and citizen of the world, let's be serious. You would not say that about any other heavyweight not in the top 40.

You're right, I wouldn't. Even Tawdry's worst detractors (namely, Frank Warren) admit that on a pure technical level, there's nothing wrong with the way he boxes. It's just the ****ting his pants and having a glass chin part of things that lets him down.

I'm also not sure Lennox could have ever won a decision against either Klitschko, if that was the question. He could have certainly knocked Wlad out, but that's a different story.

That's what I meant too. I think that prime Lewis would TKO Wlad within 10.

I am not sure why anyone is picking Calvin Brock. He seems like a pretty good HW considering today's division, BUT this is a terrible style match for him. He is short compared to Klitschko and he is not a truly big puncher (yes the KO against Lawrence was magnificent but 1 KO does not make him a puncher). Klitschko doesn't fare well against big punchers with good chins and stamina. Brock has about as good of a chance of outboxing Klitschko as I do (and I'm 5'10). I guess that in HW boxing anything is possible but the only way Brock can win is if he gets a flash KO. IMO, Brock should have tried to fight Liakovich as this would be a better match for him. If Brigss wanted to actually have ANY chance of winning a title, he should have fought Klitschko. What were their respective mangement teams thinking?

I tend to agree with this post.

I tend to agree with this post.

i think brock took the fight cause its the only way hes gonna get any real money anytime soon.

brock knows that wladamir wants unification and that if he didnt fight him now he might not get the chance again.

i guess getting KTFO for a couple mill beats knocking out bums for 50 grand

How much money are the fighters getting for this?

im just gonna make an assumption based on what toney was offered

my guess is wladamir is making around 5-6 mill and brock is probably making 1.5 mill give or take.

if anyone knows for sure please post the actual purses.....

and like i said before..... klitschko is the only guy who can create lucrative purses right now. (and these are pitiful compared to tyson) i dont think brock could get a mill fighting anyone else.

It still hurts, but let us never forget that Danny Williams's chin ended Vitali's entire career. Fact.

You're definitely gonna have to explain that one.

Wlad by TKO in 8

On a side note, boxing2005, when and undeer what circumstances was the pic you use in your avatar taken?

I chose Brock, just because I wanna see an American finally beat a Russian.

Then you're still gonna be waiting, considering Klitschko is UKRANIAN, not Russian.
