    In my opinion Klitschko was still getting his confidence back, and didn't want to lost it all over again. He was just being careful. In my opinion in they fought again Wlad would outbox him at least 10 rounds to 2 if he doesn't knock him out.

    None of these guys are a prime Mike Tyson who was genuinely feared. Everybody's weaknesses takes away from the fear factor. I can tell u who I wouldn't want to fight and that's Samuel Peter.

    Can't go wrong with Cotto, but also Pacquiao, Humberto Soto........I don't know if many heavyweights want to get with Tony Thompson right now even.

    I'd go with Chris John. No one wants to fight him in Indonesia. :D

    i understand that totally a puncher or slugger like cotto at least has been hurt by weak punchers and been outboxed spinks as boring as he is is hard to hit and out box...more people should given jermain taylor a hell of a lot more credit for facing spinks.

    miguel cotto - obvious reasons

    paul williams - i've read an article in another boxing site where he's management say they cant get alot of the fights they want because no one wants to fight a tall rangy southpaw who throws hundreds of punches.

    humberto soto - because of the early loses in his career no one is giving him a chance, fighting him also isn't very pretty.

    But still got the UD. Clear and obvious win for Klitschko, i see your "Mayweather run for your life, but its called boxing" criteria doesnt apply to anyone but him. Klitschko outboxed him, and hurt him real bad last round. If they fought today Klitschko would knock him out.

    i dont understand what you are saying but if you are saying cotto is a slugger, you obviously have not seen many of his fights.

    I have to agree with you...that guy does not know crap about Cotto he is far from a brawler. Margarito is a brawler.:patsch

    His last fight was a good stoppage and he's one the guys to watch even at his age. Vs Sultan is a pick'em to me, if he could take Chagaev's punch that would be a real fight, same with Peter although would favor Sam too. Klitschko would really be uphill for him but let's see it.

    but to be honest one fighter that nobody wants to face is casamayor.
    casa is lineal and champion espirte and in that wasnt beaten convincingly ever.
    hard to win against and diego (who i felt had the best showing against him) looked vulnarable against him.great left hand a smacking jab and left hook.

    the whole reason why he lost his titles was becuase he wanted to fight the other champions and the wbc were just like...no no no wbc is the one and only belt for sale....

    this man is dodged.

    and is a hall of famer at least.

    Its different turning your back and running behind a referee like a ***** and clinching compulsively more then 200 times in a fight and after you land a punch the same one two. Just so the other guy wouldnt whoop your ass. The referee had to pry the scared as Wlad off of Peter a million times. Wlad is a *****. When Peter walked through his punches he got scared and just wanted peter to go away I guess.

    I think Casamayor would have a hard time with the young lightweights. This fight with Santa Cruz coming up will tell alot about what he has left.
