"If there's a better chin in the world than Pryor's, it has to be on Mount Rushmore." -Pat Putnam.
I wouldn't waste my time arguing with erics44 it simply doesn't compute in his warped little nationalistic ginger brain that people may actually enjoy watching Klitschko (Wlad or Vitali) fight. I thought Wlad vs Tony Thompson was not only entertaining but competitive.
And for anyone looking for "in shape" heavyweights the following fighters have always been in good shape for their fights: Dimitrenko, Povetkin, Boytsov, Chagaev, Wilder (perhaps TOO skinny), Kubrat Pulev, Evander Holyfield (old, but still in great shape), Jonathan Banks, Seth Mitchell. Those guys never show up fat.
you said i was avoiding when i proved i wasnt, so i said you was avoiding, just giving you back what you gave me
you enjoyed the KO or you enjoyed the fight?
and you keep saying you dont want to discuss it with me but it was you who started the conversation with me
I'm happy to continue making you look a cunt if you want?

One more thing, Erics44, what are some non-Kiltschko fights you've really liked at heavyweight in the last couple years.
Oh one more fight on the horizon for you to check out- chambers v. Thompson.
The fights that havent involved the Klits cant be compare because they arent for the championship, to be a good fight doesnt have to be for the world title but theres nothing like the heavyweight world title fight in boxing
but just off the top of my head i enjoyed areolas last more than any of wlads in recent memory

wlad v thompson? you honestly enjoyed that fight? I have to say even in your wlad blinkered world i dont believe that
and i never said that no-one enjoys wlads fights you are reading things that arent there, I know for a fact that thousands of eastern europeans seem to enjoy a wlad fight night
I am saying that the vast majority of neutral fans would have enjoyed the HW division a lot more when all the dominant champs back to sonny liston were at the top and that until the Klits retire we will not have an exciting division that compares to those times
its not that hard to understand is it?
its not hard to understand, its a point of view

I could have added more but had to stop somewhere. I think the whole "in shape" issue with heavyweights comes down to a few guys in recent history George Foreman, Donovan Ruddock, David Tua, Kirk Johnson, Cris Arreola, and Sam Peter. Foreman was in great shape for as old as he was but he didn't look like a pro athlete...he punched like one though. Ruddock had all the skill in the world and ate himself out of contention. Tua was a high workrate/power puncher the likes of which we haven't seen since Marciano, but being Samoan he wound up fat and sluggish. Johnson, Arreola, and Peter were all guys that people gave a decent chance to beat the Klitschko's. They were skilled fighters but on the biggest fights of their careers they showed up in horrible shape...though Sam Peter did have better conditioning in the rematch he just didn't box well. Everyone else is good for the most part. Not every heavyweight is going to look like Adonis...look at Ali, Frazier, Holmes....not intimidating when it comes to being built like a brick shithouse, but strap some gloves on them and they'll work you over!
Erics44 yes I enjoyed the Thompson fight, Tony gave a great account of himself as did Wlad and Wlad was the first and only fight to KO Thompson to this point in his career. I enjoy most of Wlad's fights because people always say "Wlad's got no chin, no heart, no stamina"....yet he still has won 56 fights and has 49 KO's?!? The division may be weak but you've still got to be a damn good boxer to do what Wlad has done, especially with the vulnerabilities people say he has.
Do you think Paul Williams wishes he had Wlad's skill instead of getting KTFO by Sergio??

Booze, nah, honestly, Arreola has shown up trim in his last say 3 fights, but of course, that is a far cry from saying he can beat a Klit.
Erics44, I thought Arreola versus Vitali wasn't a bad fight, even tho vitali dominated, and I thought, Wlad versus Sam Peters 2 was fun to watch.
But, you should check out the Vitali versus Adamek fight and the Chagaev versus Povetkin fights. To be honest, the blue print is out on how to beat Wlad, but it takes someone who trusts their chin more than Haye did and is willing to take risks. We saw Wlad beat a few times, you just need to take a risk to get inside his reach, and you need a chin to do that.
Wlad is a champ for a reason-he's damn good. He'll win until someone better comes along. So far, no one has, so the belts are his. That's how it should be.
yep vitali v areola was alright, vitali takes more risks than wlad and generally is in better fights
the fight against solis could have been decent had it gone a bit further
I dont think wlad v peter 2 was fun to watch, it was as frustrating as all wlads fights, yes the end was alright but that was it, he could have KOed him 5 rounds earlier but stayed behind the jab
and I think wlad is a different fighter now than when he lost, i dont think that blue print is there anymore, i think it will take a lot more to beat him now
