After the influx of Nigerians, Russians, Ukranians and now Cubans, I hear that elephants are going to be the next big thing in the division.
No man is unbeatable. Ever. An injury-prone 38-year-old on his third title reign, after 40 pro fights and over 200 amateur fights and a world champion kickboxing career also, and a sick trainer. He's beatable for crap's sake. I think he'll probably knock Johnson out but let's not say he's untouchable. Johnson is talented and durable. I wouldn't write him off.
I can see Johnson wining a round or two, because he can box, but the lack of experience, competition, the power, and the size will cause him to fold in the later rounds.
I know nothing about Johnson so it's unfair to make a prediction. Though I don't think many will disagree if anyone says Klitschko by stoppage.
That is a little disturbing. Something about Vitali and Vlad being so much bigger diminishes their wins a little.
And why is that?? Tye Fields is big, Ray Austin is Big, Valuev is big, Michael Grant is big, Julius Long is big, etc... you get my point.
I agree, he's leaps and bounds above the competition right now. It's funny how he's 38 and how he looked about as fit as he ever has been in the Arreola fight. I can't wait to see him beat down Johnson. I think Johnson is underestimating Vitali big time b/c he thinks he'll outbox him and make him look stupid. Can't wait to see the weigh-in and the stare-down.
Johnson will get thrashed like all his other opponents. There isnt anyone out there that can beat Vitali right now. It would take an ATG fighter to beat him. The only other HW that would have a chance is his brother. So its a moot point.
Which is why I'm gonna keep picking him to win. Until he loses. Then I will say "****, didn't see that coming." I figure that is a little while away.
Agreed. Frankly, I think he'd knock Wlad out if they ever met in the ring. He's gonna destroy Johnson.
No, I don't get your point. Ray Austin, Tye Fields, and Valuev are all ****. Nobody gives them any credit at all because they don't deserve it
