    I literally laughed out loud at this. Herol fails at logic and arguments, but I'll at least give him paragraph one was a great one liner!

    IKR. :lol::rofl

    It takes some serious devotion to criticize 2 fighters in every thread about them. I don't mind him though. He's a funny guy, and on the rare occassion when he stops trolling, he's a good poster.

    On the ability to hit and not be hit, do you admit a skilled much bigger boxer has a tactical edge? I think they clearly do.

    If you say yes, then giving Lewis, Klitschko, 5-ounce gloves only magnify their chances as they almost always throw and land more.

    I don't think Lewis or Vitali would have a problem going 15. Maybe they throw a few fewer punches in a round. Vitali had many later round TKO's. You could argue he's an even better 15 round fighter, and his punch stats are on par with Marciano or Frazier, sometimes better!

    Regarding Wlad, his stamina was usually very good. The Brewster fight was a fluke. Brewster landed some hard body shots. Could it have been a liver delayed type of shut down? Wlad looked very ill. And speaking of that fight, how Brewster got up after a murderous punch in round four is admirable. Most heavies are finished after that one, and if they get up, do try to survive. Brewster went for the win!

    Regarding Lewis, Mavrovic landed a hard right hand ( round 9? ) and Lewis said I'm not risking anything more. I was unaware Lewis blacked out after the fight. Had this been 15....?!

    Post that in the classic section if you don't mind.

    Wlad stopped most of his opponents or beat them by wide margin.

    Brewster just happen to have a great chin and special motivation ( Trainer passed ) for the fight and went for it.

    But yes, after Wlad lands a bomb, most of his opponents understandably focus on defense.

    Now I changed my mind. Keep posting, it underscores your stupidity and detracts from the better trolls that attack Klitschko.

    By all means press on. The more posters that read your replies, the less seriously you will be taken.

    I for one can not stomach the thought of a sports team I dislike on top, #1 for 10+ years in a row, but you experienced it with Wlad.

    OUCH.

    Read somewhere that the most powerful men in terms of endurance, strength and agility ( think a soldier) are between 5'10" and 6'2" anything above that, you start to lose endurance, speed and coordination. That said, you must consider the dearth of quality among heavyweights of this era. A man that gets blasted out by Brewster, surely will have trouble with an Ali, Holmes, or a Holyfield.
