    Yes, tag teaming the HW division, and fighting each other's opponents for each other, and being really boring. I certainly hope it's never repeated.

    i think fans will miss Wlad more after he retires, i hope he has more big fights before he retires, he has already proven he is up there with the greats, how great is wlad? only Wlad show by finishing his career on a high fighting the best.

    I agree he will be missed when he is gone. You can criticise him for many things like being boring, sharing his title reign with Vitali, facing very poor opposition.

    But once the Klitschko's have gone what is left is quite frankly abysmal. I look at the current contenders and prospects and what I see are a number of very ordinary and often flawed fighters, half who are not even professional enough to get themselves in shape for every fight unlike Wlad and Vitali.

    The division maybe more competitive without the Klits but the quality is going to nose dive.

    it only means Klitlickers wont read whats in from them even when its in plain English.

    Tagteaming is tag teaming and its a failure to defend the title, however much you want to laugh at it, you are only laughing at the failure of the Klitschkos. so keep laughing.

    look at that pic long and hard, it's only when you expose yourself to the pain and suffering does it go away :hi:
     

  9. I thought Carl Williams did enough to beat Holmes. So did most people watching it too.

    He fought a great fight. The Truths 85" reach and great jab would be far to much for Wlad. The 80s had far greater fighters than this generation.
