    LOL.

    Why are you Russians such stupid stinking racists.
    You all seem to be full time candidates for the KKK.

    I'm not even African-American fool.

    Not according to Mike Tyson. When interviewed on KTLA he was asked if he could beat the Klitschko Brothers? He said "I don't know. People don't want to hear this but this generation of fighters may not look as good but they are much bigger and stronger than when I was Champ". You can see the interview on YT. I trust Iron Mike's opinion :good

    He has thrown uppercuts with success in prior fights. But, I think his best underutilized punch is the short left hook. Leapi will walk right into that, but only once.

    Notice he never said they were too skilled, or too good.
    Instead he said they were too big and too strong. He's confirming what I have always said, that their primary advantage is their size.
    Plus, he didn't say that he wouldn't beat them.

    Mike has smartened up in the last decade. He knows who controls the press and how he should respond to keep those checks coming.

    Wrong answer.
    When someone like Mike Tyson says "I don't know", it means;

    1) I know but I ain't gonna tell you

    2) He rally doesn't know.

    The reason he said he doesn't know is not because the Klits are too skilled, but that they are so tall and big. :yep
    Still, I believe that Tyson still thinks that he could chop them down with inside body work.

    Wlad can throw uppercuts, and go to the body.... Just because he chooses not to doesn't mean he can't.
