At least the "Wlad Klitschko is a good role model" myth has bit the dust

[erics44]

Listen to Riddick Bowe talk....then when Wlad is his age listen to him.....there's a benefit to not allowing yourself to get unnecessarily hit in the head. Hell look at Lamon Brewster, he has damn near lost an eye due to how he fought.

best to cheat and foul then eh?

over and over and over and over and over and.................................

Get it through your thick ginger head....IF THE REF DOESN'T CALL IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN....TWAT!

....................over and over and over and over and over and over again

I missed quite a few overs in the middle there

I hear on twitter the final clinch count was 181

if that's not amusing I don't know what is

worse significant HW champ of all time would you say?

[El Kabong]

And?

Here's something for you to count win #61

1. Povetkin initiated a lot of the clinching and holding as well, especially in the mid to later rounds.

2. Wlad has fought around 65 times or so, why is his whole career judged on one performance?

[Britkid]

I have not quite 'got' the Klitschkos, particularly Wlad, like the German market has.

After what happened early on this Century, it has become increasingly clear Wlad has doubts about his punch resistance, and this has culminated in last Saturday's fight.

But that all said as far as boxing goes Wlad comes across as an articulate, intelligent and thoughtful man, I can see far, far worse role models.

No no no no no....can't have that. nope, Beanz said "At least the "Wlad Klitschko is a good role model" myth has bit the dust"


So shall it be, forevermore Britkid

That misses the point. Boxing like life is populated by all sorts those who have turned their lives around and those beyond redemption. I was merely pointing out the abject hypocrisy of praising somebody for behaving well outside of their day job whilst ignoring the rules at work. In a job that is carried out in public in front of millions for millions it is not very respectable to act like a coward and a cheat when you already have everything tipping the balance in your favour. He does not have to be a role model but let's not pretend that he is.

Lennox Lewis vs Michael Grant......your thoughts?

Lennox Lewis is not a role model. He was a far better, more entertaining and braver boxer than Wlad though.

Well... Lewis was pretty much a "Grab and jab" guy himself. I've rarely seen him bring excitement to the table. Not more than Wlad and if so, really not more significantly.

So therefore, invest your money and stop taking the people for being mugs. You know the rules and if you cannot handle it, then get out. It isn't any skill to throw a punch and then fondle another man repeatedly. It is against the rules.

Floyd throws only 30 punches a round, but he doesn't initiate 15 clinches per round. Wlad does this in every fight, only this time it was a bit more blatant. If you could do your job and get away with working 15 minutes of every hour, you would. However, you should lose the job or find something you can actually do well.

Wlad isn't a boxer. He is a time killer, just burning up time in clinches. He is the labourer who smokes 2 cigarettes in an hours work and misses a day every other day. He is only asked to do 12 rounds twice a year and most of it is fondling the other guy.

It is a lazy ethic and he needs to be called to the office, warned and then dismissed as he is simply not able to do the job properly.

So why dont more heavyweights do it? If it aint a skill whys he been the heavyweight champ for so long?

Sorry, my mistake!

pay his ref and team the kind of money he pays them and more HWs could

His ref? Woah there Betty Bitter Britches, Pabon was agreed upon as the ref by Wlad, the WBA, and Povetkin "his ref".....Wlad has had 64 fights now, he's seen numerous refs including Mr. "He didn't allow Hatton to maul Floyd" Joe Cortez, and Wlad hasn't had trouble with them. Do you need a tissue to cry into? Poor sad little ginger.

i have to say, the wlad disgrace asside, that post was very camp

did you have your hand on your hip when you wrote it?

p.s. you cant actually believe what you are saying

[DavilaJones]

I am a big fan of both brothers and I freely admit that Saturday's game was utter crap. I was so surprised Wlad couldn't keep him off with his jab. I have no clue what the hell occurred that night.

lol nice line

I called you out as being bitter and whining like a woman. Never once did you whine about Hatton's mauling, never once! And you say the typical "Oh, Hatton fouled, but not half as much as Wlad"....well then if you don't like what you perceive as fouls then where's the hate for Hatton?

Do you think after all this posting you're going to change my views? I'm not attempting to change your views, I'm outing you as a hypocrite because you're apparently ok with a fighter fouling so long as they are wearing Union Jack trunks
