    Yeah, it's quite funny that he's considered to have ran when he threw basically a punch every three seconds

    It's funny when you think about it. CA lost the fight. Wasn't in the best shape. Was lucky to win 2 rounds. Fought a guy who is 38 years old. The Old Fighter looked in 10 times better shape then CA. Punched more then 800 times in the fight. But yet, it's CA team talking **** like they where in the fight, in shape and had fought a great fight. What a joke.

    If Arreola really said this, then I've lost all respect for him. Pathetic.

    In truth, Arreola was not able to hurt Vitali...even in spite of landing some good shots. I hate to say it, but in the ring that night, Vitali was the man and Arreola was the woman. Vitali ***** slapped Arreola at will. It was mean and brutal.

    That fight was a no contest. Vitali as totally superior. I hope Arreola did not say that.

    Emanuel Steward (2005): “He does have the skill. And he’s very effective in an awkward way. He has an unusual gift that I’ve watched it in training, that really sets him out greatly. Not from being big, he has a little bit of the clumsiness to a degree, he’s not as physically coordinated as his younger brother. But he has this unusual sense of feeling a punch before it comes – but can still move in an awkward direction as far as to neutralize it – and throwing a weird punch at the same time. I saw him do that in the gym so effectively. And its something that can’t be taught. You can just feel the guy getting ready to throw a left hook and he’ll throw a counterpunch, like, from underneath the left hook and move his body at angles that I haven’t seen. And that’s what makes him effective. He’s very effective with that _style_.”

    Stacy McKinley: “Vitali Klitschko is probably the best thinking fighter heavyweight since Muhammad Ali. He’s a very smart, intelligent fighter. Very smart,” said McKinley last week in an interview we did in New York City. “He can box, he can throw punches from all angles. He can move. He can take a punch. He’s tall. He’s busy. He’s very hard to hit. Good thinker. Oh, he’s a helluva thinker.”

    McKinley got a close up view of the WBC Heavyweight champion in Berlin last year while working with Samuel Peter. “That’s what I said when I fought him with Samuel Peters. I said, Don’t try to think with this guy. Don’t try to out-box or out-think this guy. Get in there and fight this guy. But he want to sit back and try to out-think him. You can’t do it. And I told him, He’s probably the smartest heavyweight I’ve seen in the ring since Muhammad Ali. And I’ve seen a lot of good fighters. Larry Holmes and all them were good fighters but they weren’t good thinkers. This guy Vitali is a great thinker. It seems like he knows what you’re gonna do before you start to do it. So he’s very, very, very cagey. I don’t think nobody can beat him.”

    When I ask which fight or fights of Vitali were most impressive which convinced him to become a believer, he replies, “Well, the Lennox Lewis fight. The left-hander he fought that beat his brother (Corrie Sanders). All these guys he fought. He’s just so smart. He moves good. A real intelligent fighter.”

    Then I suggest something many pundits have not yet begun to accept or contemplate. Is Vitali one of the heavyweight greats of all time? McKinley does not disagree. “One of the greats and that’s what I said. I told him. I haven’t seen one that smart since Muhammad Ali. I told him after the fight with Peters, post press conference. Smartest I’ve seen as far as thinking. Most of the guys can’t think that well. He’s just great, man, a great thinker. Since Muhammad Ali. He’s that smart.”

    Does Cristobal Arreola have any chance to beat Vitali? “No,” replies McKinley without a hint of doubt. “Three or four rounds he might get knocked out. He can’t beat that kid. Standing up too straight, he ain’t got the chin or the skills. This guy, like I tell you, he knows what he’s doing. And I was talking to his brother Wladimir, he was down in Miami. I said, Have you and your brother ever sparred together?

    “Wladimir said, No, we’re too competitive. I said, Let me tell you something. That’s a smart boy. He said, Yeah, he’s very hard to fight. I said, You don’t have to tell me. He’s very hard. He’s the best heavyweight out there. I don’t think anybody can beat him.”

    Does McKinley believe Vitali is the superior heavyweight fighter to Wladimir? “Oh yeah. He’d knock Wladimir out. Wladimir’s got good, basic fundamentals but he couldn’t do nothing with that kid. Kid’s too good, man. And I knew we were gonna have a hard fight with Samuel Peters. I said, Go in and put pressure on, cut the ring off and fight him. Don’t think with him. Don’t try to out-box him. Because you can’t out-think him. You’ve got to fight him. But he tried to think and you saw what happened. It was no contest. He quit.”

    Does anyone know what "gestures" ? I know fighters who do some "awwww" sounds when hit, or hitting themselves very powerful punch. But "gestures" ? I don't even know if Vitali had other facial expressions than "must kill" on fight days.

    Honestly I can see where he is comming from though along with Goosen I agree with what Goosen said, why the **** are you back pedaling against this guy your fans even say is "FAT" why do you hold on the inside for no reason which is a repeated foul?

    I agree at 6'7 I wouldnt be running away from Chris I would have stayed right there in the center of the ring, no need to run especially when your just holding when he gets inside.



    No you didnt, your the biggest Klitschko ball sucker here on this forum, anybody says anything remotley negative about your boys, and your thong gets all twisted up and you start talking ****.....

    :lol: You really don't like the Klitschkos do you? Listen, I'm not a massive fan of the guys either, however I appreciate that they are by far the best in the division and you're coming across as pathetic by entering every thread where the Klits are being praised and calling everyone a nuthugger because they're talking about how good a performance Vitali put on the other night. Seriously, if you thought Vitali was runnning and spoiling that whole fight then you either dont understand boxing or are so blinded by irrational hate for the guy that you physically can't offer any praise to him. He ****ed Arreola up big time.
