    25 fighters have tried beating Kell Brook and all have failed. There is no blueprint. There are three ways to beat Wlad, there are two ways to beat Vitali - there is no way to beat Kell Brook.

    It's not even a criticism, but styles make fights - Wlad and Vitali fight with the robotic Russian style, while Kell Brook is slick and black. A 6'7 Kell Brook is just a bad stylistic match up for them.

    Favourite fighter?:patsch I predicted a Wlad win in an awful fight. Which is what happened.

    A lot more accurate than your "Wlad KO1 pizza face hehehe"...

    There are no slick black boxers who are 6'7", although I know

    about such men.

    Usually big men move more slowly.

    So you admit the Klitschkos'

    is the reason (or at least part of the reason) why you hate them?

    By the way, they are Ukrainian not Russian.

    It does not work that way.

    Or if it were like that NO ONE of these guys would hold a title;Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir&Vitali Klitschko.

    Riddick and Lennox were slick and black, they could have competed in any weight class. However, the Klitschkos fight in the traditional robotic Russian style, which relies on being bigger than your opponent and just jabbing them for 12 rounds. They wouldn't have been able to use this style against similarly sized guys, they'd be out boxed and dismissed as eurobumhypejobs.

    Again, not a criticism, it's just that styles make fights. Look what happened when Vitali fought a similarly sized slick black fighter in Lennox Lewis - he got his face ripped off.

    Wlad's Chin is an abomination.

    Bowe would have been a better fighter if he had to make a weight limit, he & Lewis were far more skilled fighters than Wlad & Vitali.

    I could see a smaller Bowe & a smaller Lewis being successfull, I cant say the same for either Klit.

    Do you believe blacks are the athletically superior race?

    I thought the idea of superior races died with Adolf Hitler. :-(

    Blacks and Whites are superior to Chinese mongols like you Dave.
