    I know Virchis as he lives 20 mins from my home here in Ukraine.

    He is very strong and powerful guy, but his heart was never in boxing.

    He boxed a little at 19-20 y.o. as amateur. Then he left sports and came back at 26.

    Virchis is lazy guy and as he said, the main reason he started pro career was easy money.

    But then series of wins came (and easy money, too :good) so he went on and won European HW championship and even fought in an eliminator vs Gomez.

    After that he had only 1 fight and then he stopped training (he really disliked training camps).

    Now Virchis is a businessman and his dream to get the money and not work hard for the rest of his life fulfilled.

    Browne makes me think of a alternate universe heavyweight Carl Froch...

    Chang probably has 22 inch neck short and stout he has an iron chin. And is crafty this stoppage after been battered in the 6th should not be looked at lightly.

    Trolling aside? You think this hurts the win??? Klitschko dominated a prime Chagaev, Browne struggled with a faded version. Not to take credit away from Brownes performance, which surpassed my expectations.

    massive respect to Browne, huge heart. Made a fan out of me....never gave up, never stopped trying. Wlad could only dream of having that sort of heart

    Lazy guy,eh! Thanks for the info,BigUkranian!

    I can still remember his memorable fight with his compatriot Taras Bidenko.It was a hell of a heavy weight fight.One of the best I ve seen over the last 15 years.

    Vitaly Klitschko once said that Virchis was an extremely dangerous boxer.I guess they fought each other at the amateurs,didnt they!
