    Klitschkos used to swat Dimitrenko around like nothing.

    Kessler sparred with Bika and they had to call in two extra sparring partners because Bika was getting hammered and wanted out.

    Before Chambers beat your boy Dimitrenko, you told us all, how underrated Dimitrenko is. Now that a smallish black guy has beaten him, he´s nothing. :roll:

    You´re a clown.

    I´ve heard that story from a Klitscho camp member too. Funny thing, as Johnson´s knockout ratio will make you believe that he does not have power.

    Johnson's power will make you believe he has no power.

    It always depends on what kind of "down" it was. Klitschko is prone to fall when off balance, it doesn't take a hard shot then to drop him. Barrett did it with a tiny body punch in their fight and Wlad lost his legs falling, it was ruled a slip. Actually most of the "owned in sparring" stories come from there, the champ is unaware for a moment, gets hit when off balance, and sits on his behind. Nothing to write home about, but if that is all you can base pride on, then of course you make it THE story. Albeit, given his extremely shakyness, Dimitrenko was probably really down countless times in sparring. Same goes for any other chinny fighter.

    I was there a lot and never heard of RJ and Charles sparring and I SERIOUSLY doubt it because when RJ was 16 he only weighed around 135 pounds!!!! (he won the nationals at 17 in the 139 pound class)...I know that Ray and Roy sparred before but it wasnt right before the olympics...I was there for that and Roy was sparring with myself, Ray Lathon and a few other guys. Ray wasn't sparring. They did spar before though and I didn't see it go down but I heard it was very good sparring (Big Roy has it on tape)
