It's safe to say that Wladimir would knock out his brother at this point.

    I would watch a fight to the death between 50 midgets and a lion in a ring made out of skulls from 6 year old orphans.

    Does not mean they should make it happen.

    Vitali's punches were arm punches and terribly telegraphed. He looked very slow too and was obviously open to counters. KJ was just worse, which should tell you the state of the heavyweight division.

    :patsch

    You're right. Boxing is so much healthier this way. It used to be the man who beat the man who beat the man. Now it's the man who wont even fight the man who lost to the man.

    :roll: Garbage. Rumsfeld is 100 percent correct, Haye needs to smoke one of them and break up this congestion.

    Haye will get knocked out if he tries to fight either Klitschko, which is the reason he broke a contract and ran like Hell.

    Great argument, sir.

    I bet you would not have a problem making a list of all those titlists that were brothers and fought each other to unify a division.

    I will wait.

    This. Vitali is starting to show his age, too bad there's no one in the HW division who can take advantage.

    Eddie Chambers certainly can but he's fighting his brother Wladimir.

    Chambers lost to Povetkin. Vlad will knock Chambers out and so would Vlad, if Chambers even tries to fight back.

    Not sure what fight you were watching.

    Vitali did not look slow or telegraphed to me, he looked like the same ol' Vitali we've seen since he came back and beat Peter.

    I think you are overlooking the fact that Johnson was 100% focused on not getting hit. He was in full defensive/survival mode and never even tried to mount any type of meaningful offense.

    Klitschko did not look bad today, IMO. The fight was ugly because Johnson did not try to win.

    Simple as that.

    Has nothing to do with you.

    Everything to do with them.


    And that's why we have David Haye.

    Because they're brothers!! And brothers who are incredibly close!! Some fool promoter once suggested it once, years ago, and the story goes that both jumped up at the guy in unison and the poor guy (After shitting his pants no doubt:)) hurriedly stuttered an apology and it's never been seriously suggested since!! On tonight's showing it is possible that Wlad could outpoint Vitali. But he couldn't ko him!!!

    Wlad will knockout Chambers, I have no doubt about that.

    Farmy, who do you like? Adamek or Estrada? Estrada is another guy who lost to Povetkin.

    Vitali would kill Wlad easily ...

    I also think that Kevin Johnson isn't getting enough credit, I haven't seen the fight yet but i've seen Johnson fight before and he's no slouch. He's a damn good boxer, he just doesn't have any power.

    From what it seems like this is no different than Wlad's fight with Ibragimov ... some times they can't sweep through guys, there are some guys who aren't going to back down and are going to come with a gimmic to keep them in the fight.

    Its a shame that this guy can have this much success and still get criticized ... this is his second fight going the distance and as far as I see this guy really hasn't been whooped on.

    Yeah Lennox got at him, but that was more give and take ... and both of his losses were because of medical issues.

    Touching story.

    Meanwhile, the sport looks for an attraction besides Pac in the next decade as UFC pulls more and more casual fight fans.

    Not relevant though, because the Klitshcko house is happy!

    Haye is a total douche, but sadly, is the only savior of the division on the horizon.
