    Peter will be knocked the **** out either by Wlad's older brother, or maybe even by Maskaev (unlikely though).

    bullplop! watch rounds 11 and 12. he took it to peter. he wasnt afraid. more like peter was the one holding at the point. peter was out on his feet in the 12th. he needs a guy that will make him fight. similar in a sense to mayweather. hatton brought out the best in floyd. styles make fight and they can make very boring ones. but i will conced, wlad must develop more of a killer instinct to take that next step. i just think he needs to be more confident in there. he's got everything else.

    as for the ref. wlad should have been deducted 1 pt or 2 for holding but it is peter who should been dqed for his rabbit punching. clearly, peter benefited more from his fouling than wlad did.

    btw, what avatar do i have to sport :D

    You can't generalize Wladimir's character from just one fight, that's not fair. He's got an 85% KO rate..

    maybe but you also can't generalise a fighter by his win or KO ratio - which is what you're doing.

    joe calzaghe is undefeated, a bonefide worldclass fighter but name one proven world class fighter he's beaten in his prime?

    conundrum.

    Wlad is not a *****, but he does appear that way at times. I think Brewster said it best after his first with him, he said something along the lines of " He just dont have the dog in him, he couldnt take the punches he hit me with, I hit him with maybe 1 tenth of what he hit me with, and he couldnt take it".

    Wlad has all the skills to be great, but mentally he cant hack it, he panics and goes down when the tables are turned.

    This is another thing, don't you Klitschkonians get at least a little pissed off by this sort of arrogance?

    When Kellerman asked him if he considered the winner of Peter/ Maskaev a viable #1 'Contender', he responded with "We have dream both brothers hold world title at same time."

    He (they?) really consider themselves bigger than the sport; **** clarity in the heavyweight division, **** the fans, **** entertainment; our weird personal 'goal' is more important thatn that. Its like they think the sport exists for their sole benefit. I dont know how the Klits have such rabid fans.

    that i can agree with! he's got everything else. i really believe the chin isnt as big an issure as his confidence. but i have faith an opponent can bring it out of him and thereby prove his worth. peter did this to a large extent. i thought it was a huge stepping stone for wlad. unfortunately, i think he regressed a little in that department yesterday.

    as a wlad fan, i have to believe in him. as a wlad hater, u must do the opposite :yep

    Wlad is alright; he's a good heavy weight! no way is he near or does he touch any all time greats though.

    :good I might be hater, but I know Wlad aint a *****, he's just afraid of getting hit and end up being at the bottom of the Heavyweight picture, instead of being at the top where he currently resides.

    At the moment he is the best of a bad bunch. It's silly to compare him with the greats.
