    Fighting weight, you still out there? Or did you "beech out" like David Haye? I have officially called you out with your swiss cheesed logic. "Now is the time to make it happen."

    Show many example of Bruno being sparked cold, the amount of clean shots he took from Tyson before the ref saving him was Chuvalo stuff. If Bruno has no chin Larry Holmes chin must be pure glass, but obviously its not

    Typical ignorance, btw your 'Great jab, good power, NO CHIN!!! ' reminds me a little of someone else.....

    I agree that Franky Bruno's chin was not glass to the maxi-pad, but it wasn't exactly cement either........ If anything, the musclebound Bruno lacked confidence and faith within himself........

    Odd, but I see Bruno as the newer version of Kenny Norton............. Both very good when things go their way, but also kinda' paranoid in the ring.......... You feel me there?

    :good Bruno also took massive bombs from Lennox Lewis and ended on his feet with the ref stepping in.

    Wlad would have been sparked out cold as a corpse from that bombardment.

    I still HATE how Bruno folded-up like a lawn chair against Tyson in 3 rds during the lousy '96 rematch for the WBC title.......... Friggin' Bruno looked roided and built like Mr. Universe at 247 rock hard pounds, but yet, he fought like a scared ***** against a faded 220 pound, 30 year old Tyson....... The Hell?

    I was laughing when you said Bruno had a great jab and good power but no chin therefore WALDO would beat him, but then you followed it up with that little beauty :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    I refuse to debate with you any more, go sit on the naughty step and never bother me again.

    My favourite fighter seems to be whoever fights Klitschko next? Really?

    I suggest you run a search and try to find the last time I picked against either Klitschko in a title fight, it hasn't happened for a while that's for sure. If I were as blind and biased as you seem to think I'd be all over the board picking against them, surely? The fact is that they're the best out there at the moment and I accept it, you won't find me arguing against it. What I will argue against is the constant bull**** that comes from the fan-boys that state that because they're dominating the shittiest division in living memory that they'd dominate at every other point in history too, because they're tall and don't lose many rounds (to bums) :rofl

    My Klitschko fan quote of the week threads are never taken out of context, how the hell can a direct quote be taken out of context? Again, feel free to point out where I have done this, if you find one where I've taken someone out of context then I'm big enough to apologise for it but you have to realise that it's all done in fun and I suggest you're taking this a bit too seriously.

    Speaking of taking things a bit too seriously, you think the Willie Pep thing is serious? Words fail me. I'm a David Haye fan but that Willie Pep thing is a joke I made about the Valuev fight because Haye seemed to pick up rounds without actually throwing punches. That's the difference you see, I'm a fan of the guy but I'm also objective about it - if you could only do the same with the Klitschkos then maybe I wouldn't get on your tits quite so much.

    I'd favor Vitali to pull off a workman decision but it would be ugly and probably look like this:

    You've 'called me out' :huh:huh:huh

    You think VITLAY lost to Lewis due to unfortunate injuries....and you accuse me of having swiss cheese logic? :nut:nut:nut

    **** it, you're on ignore, child. Go pick on someone with the same intellectual capacity - find a forum for lovers of drool and Star Wars figurines or something.

    Yep....Bruno didn't have a glass chin at all, far from it. Take a look at the guys he faced in his attempts to win the title and it's a pretty impressive list. I'd suggest had either Klit faced the same fighters at the same point in their careers then the result would have been similar to what Bruno did. Neither Klit would have stood a chance against the 2 versions of Tyson that Bruno lost to, Bruno lost to a far better version of Lewis than VITLAY did - and was similarly ahead on the cards at the time of the stoppage too I think. As for the Spoon fight well Bruno I think was 24 or 25 at the time, put 24 or 25 year old VITLAY in there and they'd get knocked the **** out too.

    I'd be pretty confident of both Klits out-boxing McCall for a win though, just like Bruno did.

    Fighting,

    I notice Vitali loves keeping his left hand very low. It's a big reason why lewis smashed him with that right hand. Do you think Witherspoon can do the same with his fantastic overhand right?

    As a VITLAY lover I think you're the last person who should be saying another fighter looked 'roided' seeing as how Bruno never once tested positive, unlike your guy.

    Bruno went into that 2nd Tyson fight with a detached retina I think. Bear in mind he'd just won the title, he should have been allowed an easy defence or two but Don King saw to it that he didn't get that luxury unfortunately. Not that it matters, Tyson was kryptonite to Bruno, he's the only guy that ever out-boxed Bruno in Brunos whole career.

    Vitali tested positive for steroids in 1996 banning him from the olympics. That's serious.

    Possibly, yes. The over-hand right was something that was a recurring feature in Brunos career, Jumbo Cummings nearly had him out of there with it, Spoon did him with it although I have a feeling a left hook did all the damage initially but I might be wrong :huh Same with Lewis, a left hook stopped him in his tracks but the over-hand right finished the job.

    The problem we have with comparing them to VITLAY is that all the fighters I mentioned were quality operators with the possible exception of Cummings, and VITLAY hasn't faced enough of them to form an opinion. He has one true quality operator on his record (Lewis) and we all saw what happened there - Lewis walked right through VITLAYS best shots and tore him up. I suspect the same would happen if he fought Spoon or Bruno.

    I'm still laughing at a VITLAY fan accusing Bruno of "looking roided" against Tyson :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Frank Bruno was an extremely dedicated guy who trained like a maniac, he always had a great physique but that means **** in HW boxing I'm afraid - although the Klit-ites seem to have elevated Sosnowski to ATG status for his physique alone :huh

    Did Bruno ever do steroids? I honestly don't know. I do know 100% however, that VITLAY Klitschko is a proven steroid cheat.

    Cue the spin...."VITLAY had a sore fingernail and he had no idea the doctor had given him steroids for it" :nut:nut
