    And Wlads father was a military man, and Ali refused induction :think does that mean anything .... No, look every fighter in the world is inspired by Ali, Im inspired by Ali and I box nothing like him. For one reason because I cant and 2 I dont want to its not my style and I dont want to try and imitate someone else and I would imagine neither does Wlad, he simply admires what the man did in the ring.

    It is kinda odd that beings that Ali is his role model he hasn't taken on any of Ali's characteristics. Ever since Wladimir has become my role model I've overnight developed the ability to speak 5 languages, grown a foot taller, and I now look like a Ukrainian.

    They did visit him when they were in US but they allways mentioned Max Schmeling as their idol.

    I'm not a professional boxer and I consider Ali a rolemodel in some ways. Isn't that odd?

    Didn't Vitali even name his son after Schmeling?
