    What an atrocious performance he had in the World Cup. He should switch to boxing. Give him some hope of salvaging some pride. :deal

    Appealing? The only thing less atrocious then the fight itself was the theater show put on before the fight.

    Great eras like the 80's had great champions like Tony Tubbs, Pinklon Thomas, and Bonecrusher Smith.
    The late 70's had Larry Holmes defending his belt against giants like Tex Cobb, Mike Weaver, and Scott LeDoux.
    There are no fights or fighters like that these days.

    Well, I quite enjoyed watching dozens of intoxicated Englishmen rough David up and "stomp" on his "broken toe" as he proceeded to make his way to the ring. That ring walk was rougher on David than the fight itself.

    Sir Wil i believe if a young afroamerican is very talented and want to train he prefer sport instead getting into drug business.

    With footwork like this I can't see a heavyweight who can get near him.

    Lack of depth in talent.

    The 2 best guys wont fight eachother & some top contenders wont fight them.

    Poorly conditioned, old & past it guys are still near the top.

    Class below Klitschkos don't fight each other in fear of losing title shot.

    Agree. And the KLitschkos don't fight each other, leaving doubt as who the best in the division is.

    You can't be the best if you don't fight the best.
