Yeah because Klits grew up wrapped in cotton wool didn't they, they were always the children getting hurt and never liked contact sports did they. That's why they began careers In boxing to start with isn't it.
The world has not become more pussy overall it has become even more violent than ever before. The difference now is that is has become illegal to kill and hurt ppl but that doesn't stop ppl who will do it anyway.
I heard that when Vitali was young, the Russian mob wanted to scout him as an enforcer but he respectfully refused...Quote:

Sullivan would get beat to death ..
I think in a bare knuckle fight over 100 rounds I doubt Vital I would even dare get in the ring with Sullivan. His brother wlad would wet himself.
Wlad would undoubtedly beat the Boston Strong Boy in a boxing ring, but I'm not sure he would in a bar fight after a pint of brandy.
All I got to say to that is that to be in the sport of boxing usually requires one to be somewhat of a fighter in the first place.Quote:

Even more wussier Wladimir I could not imagine being thrashed by a guy like that, I mean seriously, some of you guys will find any avenue to have the old timer come up trumps.
It's some code of respect thing I see but I don't think that's a good way to properly honour a past athlete, by rubbishing the present. Whatever you say though!
100 rounder you say? A "round" back then was a KD was it not? I would judge then that a fight between a Klit and Sullivan would not go nearly 100 rounds.
Boxing and a street fight is totally different.
Klit brothers are too smart to get involved in any such fight. They would not even become fighters in those days. Probably politicians and doctors.
Sullivan would make sure it went many rounds by any means necessary if you catch my drift.
Vitali and Wladimir do not get into streetfights now, they aren't that stupid no. When they were younger, before they got into boxers, they had to be fighters!
No gentle person decides at a young age that they are going to be a great boxer unless they already have some pre-disposition to violence.
What you are implying is actually ridiculous. That the Klitschko's now could not fight very effectively without gloves on.
Sure boxing and street fighting is vastly different but mate, any pro boxer is going to more than likely clean up in most street fights he is involved in.
I wouldn't see either Klitschko losing too many street fights were they to engage in them.
But sure we will add Sullivan to the list now of Klitschko conquerers.
Klitschko's... The weakest champions of all time, able to be bested by every champ from the past in some way and their opponents, oh yeah they are the weakest opponents of all time as well!! Where's the :patsch symbol on Saddo when ya need it! lol
I give up trying to talk to you.
