    No messing about from Wlad on saturday, the sheer will to win at any costs by any which way was stunning. Seldom have we witnessed such a will to win since a certain Muhamad Ali was in his pomp. That is the sign of a true winner. Wlad took everything away from the brave Povetkin, he broke his heart basically and gave him nothing, not even a scrap. This is a true winners mentality and in this form Wlad wont be beat for a long time yet.

    Wlad fought like a *****. He gets no props for the way he won. That wasn't will. He fouled Pov every round. Wlad is a true coward. He's a bully too. I hate bullies.

    Not a Klitschko fan at all, but I agree. He beat the crap outta of Povetkin in a street fight. Good to see that he can be rough. He got the W. Quit bitching. Let's just hope Wilder's team can wake the **** up.

    Wlad deserves criticism. That wasn't being rough. He fought scared, and looked to clinch and fight dirty the entire fight.

    Credit to Povetkin, he had two men against him in the ring Saturday night.

    You actually enjoyed that fight? and called it a "street fight" obviously you haven't seen many street fights. The closest to that was when Tyson was biting the ear off Holyfield and trying to break his arm, now those were street fighting tactics.

    This was the last fight I'm going to watch of Wlad because to me that wasn't even boxing. He just used his size to smoother Povetkin, threw enough punches to win, but at the end of the day, he clinched more than he punched. I feel sorry for anyone who actually paid to watch that fight.

    We've all seen what happens to Wlad when he fights without his own personal bribed ref against someone with even a limited amount of skill, brutally beaten and KO'd by Brewster and goes life and death with the dreadful Sam Peter. ATG my ass.

    You realise that grabbing someone behind the head, pulling them down and then leaning all your weight on them every time they legally work their way inside isn't rough housing? You are aware that's actually against the rules?

    What Wlad did was no different than if he'd spent the whole fight deliberately punching Povetkin in the balls and ref not saying a word to him about it. IT WAS CHEATING plain and simple.

    "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize." - Muhammad Ali

    To compare Wladimir Bitchko to Muhammad Ali is laughably insane!

    Ali was charismatic, courageous and graceful in the ring. He knew how to finish guys - when he wanted to. Ali fought and beat some of the biggest, strongest and toughest fighters in the history of boxing, while Bitchko 'fights' like a guy who doesn't need a jockstrap -- no balls!

    Wladimir Bitchko couldn't carry Ali's jock, much less be compared to him! :rofl

    The fanboy's defence would be - if standing near Wlad and getting punched in the balls didn't work then he should have tried something else.
