I'm gonna be brutally honest here. I respect Wlad more now than I used to (when he exhibited the glass chin syndrome). But a part of me would still like to see Wlad involved in a memorable, give-and-take war. Something that will cement his status as one of the great HW's of our generation. I realize the lack of credible opposition out there is not his or Vitali's fault. But I can't help yearning for the Tyson-Holyfield wars, the Lennox years, even the Ali-Frazier-Foreman golden years of HW boxing. The vision of Wlad sickeningly pawing at Sultan Ibragimov (did I get his name right?) so as to not get tagged, throughout the whole, incredibly boring affair, is still fairly fresh in my mind. So is the Ray Austin fiasco. For that matter, so is every piece of HW trash that has marched up into the ring against a Klitschko, only to wilt like a flower in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Is there no one out there that is up to the task? I'm not rooting for Wlad to lose, only to earn his place among the greats.
