    How come it is being swept under the rug that Maskaev beat Klitschko? It had been such a well kept secret for a long time until the truth was finally revealed.

    Come on, you dont think we know that Vitali lost TKO 1 in 1991 to Oleg Maskaev in a Russsian Army tournament!! You think you can fool us any longer. Not any more!!

    SRR was in the Army, Henry Armstrong.
     
  11. David Haye was in I'm a celebrity which is like being in the real army only much much more dangerous.
