In your estimation, is Vitali fighting just another Euro Bum?

    I wouldn't describe him as a bum. But this is an easy pay day for Vitali, and nothing else. If David Haye was fighting this guy people would be going crazy.

    Williams was shot to **** and was still pretty competitive, there can't have been much in it when the stoppage came.

    Sosnowski is a WBO level fighter, not really cut out for the top fights - i.e. the top 10.

    Klitschko's next defense will come against European champion Albert Sosnowski (45-2-1), who is just about the worst title challenger we can think of in many, many years. Not only does he not own a single signature win, he was shut out in a decision loss to journeyman Zuri Lawrence in 2008. A horrible matchup, but you can watch it on pay-per-view for just $24.95.
    Next: May 29 vs. Sosnowski.

    This. Besides, the Klitschkos fight every mandatory or top contender available and they're entitled to an easier defense for a voluntary. That said Sosnowskiwickie ain't a bum but he ain't in Vitali's league either.

    Considering the current state of affairs at heavyweight these days, Albert Sosnowski doesn't really float my boat, but he is at least in-shape and looks like he trains....... He ain't a bum........ But is he truly world class?

    Anyway, V.K. is pushing age 39 this year and deserves a breather before retiring as champion of the WBC......

    The "K" bros. are THE BEST out there by far.......... David Gaye and Evan Fields are in a distant 2nd and 3rd place........ WORD!

    Shannon Briggs would be slaughtered by either "K" bro...........

    So thats what Dan Rafael had to say about this fight. Thats his opinion & I hope Sos makes him eat those words.

    Jameel McCline also lost to Lawrence and then went on to fight Valuev for a title.

    And surely this cant be any worse than some of Holmes' or Ali's title defenses.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, V.K. is a great fighter / champion who could hold his own in any era between 1887 thru 2010 in a time machine..... Nobody walks through Vitali Klitschko......

    He only beat Danny because he gassed and did not have the punch output. However, this is really the story of Dannys career!

    In terms of skills he is very limited, however he is no bum.

    I think people will be surprised by this guy, although not the most skilled he is still very dedicated, in shape and game, which is more that you can say for much of the over weight lazy HW's out there right now.
