    It's not a sin, but obviously it would a difficult fight to approach mentally, and boxing is more mental then physical. If they don't want to fight one another, they do not need to in order to "save" the HW division. It'll take more then one fight to save a division, or boxing. Amd Bernard moving up will be a mistake as well.

    Anyway, did you call Floyd a ***** for retiring when he did? He has a ton of big fights to be made in the hot WW division. Instead he got out when the kitchen got too hot.

    You might want to watch the fight again. Vlad was winning the fight on the cards before the KO, but he did not dominate Thompson by any stretch. Tony was Vlads most competitive fight in some time. I am also of the opinion that Thompson was only stopped because he was gassing and found a soft spot on the canvas. Vlad basically out gutted Thompson in that fight.

    a combination of chin, handspeed, and power are what troubles Wlad.

    Try telling that to Tony Thompson, Derrick Jefferson, Ray Austin, ect.... Wlad actually usually does very well against tall fighters.

    Who the **** cares if they are tall or not? Being tall is not a prerequisite, what use is being tall if you can't box? Being tall is only helpful in combination with skill. Most of the tall fighters Wlad has fought are crap hence why he beat them without breaking sweat.

    Skills, power and speed. That is what will trouble Wlad as it would any fighter.

    Vlad knocked Austin out in the second round, Austin is 6 feet 6 inches tall. He also knocked out Jefferson, 6 feet 6, Bostice, 6 feet 5, Thompson 6 feet 6, McCline 6 feet 6.

    I admitted that Floyd left before facing alot of good fighters that were out there but I still admitted his skill and his potential that "if he came back he could be one of the best ever if he fights the top guys"

    As far As Wlad and Vitali, it's clear they are levels above anybody else in the HW division...They owe it to the FANS THE WAY PAC AND FLOYD OWE IT TO THE FANS TO GET THEIR FIGHT MADE....I understand they are brothers and family etc..."FAMILY FIRST"

    BUT ALSO COMPETITORS....Was Ronde Barber not supposed to tackle his brother Tiki when they played each other...I understand and realize boxing is 1 on 1 and having to "tackle" your brother in a football game is alot different (mentally and physically) than engaging in "blows" in a ring in organized boxing...They are proffesionals however and they have a chance at becoming legends...I wanna see a good heavyweight fight WITHOUT A KLICHKO DOMINATING AND THE ONLY WAY WE WILL SEE THAT IS IF JAMES TONY GOES DOWN TO ABOUT 212 OR IF THEY FIGHT EACH OTHER.....BUT AGAIN..AT THIS LEVEL THE FANS WANNA SEE THE 2 BEST GO AT IT...THE PROMOTERS SHOULD BE TRYING TO GET THIS FIGHT STARTED SLOWLY NOW...Get them known here and so we can get the controversy started and get these big, skilled, athletic, muh fu34as to fight!!!!!!:happy:happy...THERE IS NOBODY LEFT TO FIGHT AFTER POVETKIN AND HAYE...DON'T SAY CHAMBERS CUZ THATS A WLADIMIR JAB IN YOUR FACE ALL NIGHT!!!:hat

    Sorry man...Just gotta let em know why I wanna see Klitchko-Klitchko..WOULD BE A GREAT FIGHT!

    Klitschkos made it extremely clears many years ago that they will never fight each other, so it should not be repeated anymore. It will not happen.

    Wladimir Klitschko probably can't handle boxers with good chins, good skills, and good power. Wladimir has yet to fight against a boxer with those credentials. His loss to Sanders was more of Wladimir underestimating him and was beat to the punch. His loss to Brewster was more of Brewster tagging his chin. Some might say Wladimir was fatigued, but he was coincidentally fatigued when his chin got caught.
