Photos: Wladimir Klitschko vs Tony Thompson Press Conference

Thompson looks great for his age.I will never think that he is 40 years old.

 

True. :deal

 

Say what you want about Thompson but he's one of the only guys in the last, say, 6 years, who has given Wlad ANY kind of trouble.

 

tony thompson could jog around his neighborhood naked and people wouldnt know who he was....

 

go watch his last fight and see how old he looks in actual movement instead of a snap shot.....

 

Here's Thompson's most recent fight.

Ugly ugly fight. So many rabbit punches and Harris showed no movement.

Wladimir's mobility was decisive in the first fight and probably will be decisive again. Thompson's savvy and defensive skill make up somewhat for his lack of quickness. But Thompson would need to be in the condition of his life to stay competitive with Wladimir over 12 rounds.

 

Just like you did for Povetkin :good

 

I've always liked him but 40-year-old Tony Thompson is not the best American heavyweight. And he hasn't had any wins or performances that would suggest to me that he is, lately. He's a mandatory and I blame Volo not a bit for keeping his belt, considering the landscape, but no, Thompson isn't the best American heavyweight.

 

Did anyone hear Steve Bunce's take on the first fight? Tony is a bum and Wladimir, no matter if it is a mandatory fight, is a joke in selecting opponents. I am sorry to all Klitschko fans.

 

:good

Thank i will enjoy watching this fight in Bern in the summer :bbb:bbb:bbb

 

Wlad has to take this fight if he wants to keep the belt (IBF)
So he should go for it. But,never rule out any fighter. Ya never know.
