    Hey Dougie what's crackin'?
    I was just writing you to tell you about the gym rumors I've heard from my homey who is a trainer. He told me that Vitali has been looking real bad during sparring sessions. He told me that he was getting his ass whooped. Have you heard anything like that. Peace out. -- Jose

    I’ve absolutely heard a few rumors about Klitschko’s training camp. I heard that sparring partner Lionel Butler was getting in his ass, and I heard that one of his knees is less than 100 percent, which has made it difficult for him train and spar.

    However, just because Butler is giving Klitschko fits doesn’t mean Arreola can. Butler has mastered the forgotten art (among heavyweights, anyway) of bobbing-and-weaving. He’s 5-10 and he makes himself 5-6 as he gets in close and gets off to the body with both hands. I don’t think Arreola can do that. However, if Chris can tap Klitschko’s body, he can hurt the giant. I’ve seen it done to both Klitschko’s in sparring session from 2004 when both trained in L.A. (and as is the case with Butler, it wasn’t a world-beater who troubled them, it was Dominican fringe contender Fernely Feliz, who knew how to get low and get inside).

    Vitali has been looking great in his workouts. I am not worried at all.

    Well does that say something about the potential Toney-Vitali matchup.
    Like Butler, Toney is 5 foot 10, moves his head and is an excellent body puncher. Toney keeps telling everybody that Vitali does not like pressure. very interesting. Maybe Toney would do better than we all think.

    Vitali ran 100 miles in preparation for the fight. If his knee was bad he couldn't have done that.

    Vitaly enters the ring with the highest weight ever.

    Lewis entered the ring with his highest weight ever when he met Rahman the first time. He lost (because of it?).

    Are you kidding me? Vitali is 1 lb over his previously highest weight. Plus he looks more ripped and muscular than ever.

    With a bad knee he couldn't have run a single mile.

    "Rumors" (don't we just love them) were that Mayweater was getting beat up by Lamont Peterson, and yes that seriously effected his beat down of Marquez. People are reading too much in to sparring sessions its a different world to the real thing.

    I absolutely do not need the mental image of Lionel Butler up Vitali's ass.

    I don't see how anyone could miss the point he was trying to make, but you somehow managed to do so.

    Good job, sir.

    Why would you be? Unless you're Ukrainian or perhaps German.

    I think we've seen from Vitali in the past, that when he is not fit to fight, he will not fight. This is not a stupid guy we're talking about, or an American heayweight. He is too proud to show up at anything less than 100%. He will be ready, and Arreola will get bashed up. Believe that.
