You have to feel for the Klitschkos

You forgot one thing:

The fat bum injured his knee.

 

You can tell that they would really like to build legacy and awareness of their ability worldwide... Too bad that they were never really given the opportunity to prove themselves against a deep division, coming to their peaks after some tough losses. Basically all they can do is keep fighting and remain dominant. I think both brothers could benefit from being a lot more aggressive, they're so much better than their competition that they really don't need to play it as safe as they do at this point.

 

An absolute sham of a fight. Haye is right, Solis was just another FAT BUM.

At least A Force came into the ring in shape.

Roll on July 2nd. The Sisters era is coming to an abrupt end.

 

Ideally, this would be good enough for me. I just want to see contenders fighting contenders.

 

So freaking what???

I still enjoyed 1 round of Solis-Vit 7x more than whole that farce.

 

Another reason this division sucks- the top 10 are way too ***** to fight each other regularly. So basically you end up with a division with amateur talent that is too inexperienced in the pro ring or too old from being inactive...And then it goes to waste like Solis or Povetkin. Then they maneuver themselves into a fight with the Klitschkos and get whupped. Vicious cycle.

 

The top 10 feast on fringe fighters and has beens, get a mandatory...pretty much the same cycle.

Reason I like Chambers so much, he fought Brock, Povetkin, Peter, and Dimitrenko to earn his shot at Wlad. People still hate on him though because he lost Wlad.

 

good post op

 

Chambers is actually one of the few guys that made sure to build himself up for a fight with Waldo, way more than Peter II or something similar. People hate him because he's an American heavy that fell short and because of his physique and his negative style. He's one of the few fighters who pushed himself to the title though, gotta respect that. Definitely not a typical coddled fighter from the US in that regard.

A guy like Deontay should take note. Challenging early, even losing early, pays off in skills and experience. And who else is a better example of that than the Klitschkos themselves?

 

Its unfortunate that the 2 best in the division are brothers. What we need is Haye, Povetkin, Klits, Arreola, Solis and Peters, Chambers mixing it up with each other and regularly. Not fighting nobodys once a year and getting a title shot. Klits are beating everybody, Haye is doing bugger all. Adamek is the only one who is making an effort.

He fights regularly and is working his way up.

 

And yet that fight did hardly anything for Vitali's resume (all controversy aside). If Wlad finishes Haye off early people would call him another bum killed by Wlad and that's it.
Like Jack said, as a Klitschko supporter one has to hope for Haye to be the real deal, put on a good performance and make it somewhat competitive (a competitive performance vs. prime Wlad is yet to be delivered) but eventually lose the fight. Any other scenario would have little or no positive impact on Wlad's resume.

 

Helenius is on the verge of possibly beating Peter and Chambers while the gold medal winning Povetkin has already destroyed Byrd, Donald and Chambers while taking his record to 21-0-0 now if that isn't good enough for you they you just can't be pleased.

 

I always felt that the Klitschkos simply made their opponents look weak, hence the theory that it's a weak division.
You'll hate the comparison but it reminds me of Roy Jones during his 175-pound dominance.

 

I give credit to vitali for beating solis. I said last year he'd need 4 or 5 gone victories to do his resume justice.

Solis, haye, adamek, povetkin and valuev would be a great finale to his career.
