People couldn't wait for Floyd's retirement. I can't wait for Wlad's......

A torn calf muscle..... have we heard anything else about the injury? Was there an MRI done? Does Wlad have a history of torn calf muscles? Did Wlad embark on a totally different, radical way of training which caused this torn calf muscle?

The doctor who treated wladimir and did the scan has been quoted saying it's torn and the fight should be postponed.. More details on Klitschko injury | Boxing News | Fightnews
He is a very famous doctor who treats a lot of sportsmen so you would hope he could be trusted but he could well be in on it too.

Also, no you're right. If a doctor says something about a sportsman, his word is gold. May I recommend "On Any Given Sunday"? Gives you a little insight into doctors in the NFL. But again.... hey... a doctor said it so it must be true. Heaven forbid any special interests might come into play.

that's what i said, the doctor could well be in on it :S

Not in boxing's vanilla, lollypop world.

Never seen such dumb fucking words spoken i mean the man is 39 and has a injury. I would rather him be at 100 percent i do not want excuse if people lose so let them heal. Wlad been champ for 10 years and pretty much fought everyone gets a injury at old age everyone starts acting like a twat.

I don't know if 'fought everybody' it's the phrase you should use

I mean, he didn't fight provetkin

Yet Provetkin still got dropped 4 times and lost a lopsided decision.

he got hugged a lot more times than that

A fan of Wlad's who defends his pathetic showing against Povetkin isn't really a fan of good boxing, IMO. That has got to be one of the most infuriating performances by Wlad in a recent fight, and that's saying a lot. Povetkin came to fight... but you can't blame him for not expecting what he got from Wlad: a hugfest, maulfest, and just plain foulfest of epic proportions. Who knew Wlad would single-handedly ruin a fight just to avoid getting that chin tapped.
