    Wrong, wrong & wrong. Wladimir's KO of Thompson was sweet & a better showing than the fight vs. Iggy. Haye doesn't have the chin to hang with Klitschko and his defense sucks ass.

    Retire, without unification? What are you smoking? Puff, puff, pass dude.

    Lennox pointed that out too last night ... he's too robotic ... he's not loose ... he doesn't have much savvy or rhythm ... he's stand up fighter who tries not to get hit.

    Exactly. Why would Wlad retire in his prime & 2 or 3 fights from total unification? Not to mention if Vitali KO's Peter & I believe he will, their dream of holding the belts together is very possible.

    He already unified ... what are you talking about ... he has 2 of the 4 major belts ... and his brother is coming back to try and obtain the WBC strap ... that would only leave two legit fights ... Haye and the winner of Valuev v Ruiz ...

    I think that with the advise of Emmanuel Steward that he would decline to give Haye a fight given the seriousness and the risk at hand.

    He should retire --

    That's the way I see it too. The more aggressive Haye is early the better chance he gets KO'd early. :deal

    I see Wlad freezing under the barrage of Hayemakers and folding like he did against Sanders, inside 3 just like the Hayemaker says.

    I am sure you thought he should have retired after the first Brewster fight as well....

    Wladimir landed some serious body shots on Thompson. Lead right hands..............and the occasional lead left hook to the body & hooks to the body off the jab.

    I don't think so ... and don't take what i'm saying as hating on Wlad because as you know RUSKULL, I am a fan but after watching his last 5 fights ... you see a major decline in his production ... he's getting hit more ... and he's respecting guys that he shouldn't respect.

    I know the game is protect yourself at all times ... hit and don't get hit, but man they also tell you to expect to get hit ... because it is a fight.

    I'm not buying what Haye's trying to sell. You fell for the BS, hook, line & sinker though.

    As opposed to those sit down fighters who try to be hit as much as possible.:nut

    I guess that's why Wlad seems to be standing up at the end of his fights, and his opponents are normally sitting and/or laying down.
