I certainly do agree it's a welcome change that there's finally a fight in the heavyweight division that even the casual observers are aware of and care about. But as far as this being a fight that will reflect well on the current state of professional boxing or the heavyweight division, I'm not so sure. Do those who are lauding the merits of a Klitschko-Haye bout even fathom that the fight has the potential to be a 12-round snooze fest? Because it certainly does. FighterforJC says: I don't think people will be quick to dismiss an upset KO win for Haye. Everybody knows that the Klitschko who got stopped by Brewster and Sanders and Purity is not the same one that we've seen in the last 6 years. Wlad has the same cloak of invincibility as Tyson did in the late 80's. Wlad in fact, is probably more unbeatable than Tyson was. The general consensus back in the day was that if you took Tyson to the mid rounds, your chances of beating him increases. Tyson was also viewed to have technical shortcomings that could be exploited. With the exception of the perception that Wladimir's chin, is a liability he has virtually no weaknesses. It would be a bigger upset for Haye to win by a decision than if he were to spectacularly knock Wlad out. Radam G says: Hehehehehehe! Comic relief in TSSU -- MARVELOUS! Not Hagler, but that Doc Wlad is more invincible than Mike Tyson. Doc Wlad is a glass-chin BUM, who GBG Manny S has been able to save because of a weak-arse division. [Just imagine if Doc Wlad had heavies around like there were when the late, glass-jawed Floyd Patterson rule.] Mindset is everything. If the true-size heavies in the cruiserweight division were there, the Klits and/or Valuev would not have ever been CHAMPION. Adamek and Cunningham, to name TWO,, would have beat 'em down. James Toney would beat 'em, if they would have fought him after he won the pseudo-cruiserweight title. Even Big-mouth Tarver and Roy Jones Jr would have beat 'em, if there were no ripping out of the effective weights of 185lba to 200lbs of the oldschool heavyweight division. mortcola says: Radam - I know you're big on the intangibles. That's what your poetry is about. But you completely disregard not only Wlad's pretty extraordinary skill set, but also his ability to have come back with an airtight improved game AFTER those humiliating losses. To lock down the division like NO ONE IN HISTORY. That, my friend, amounts to two arguments against your overused "BUM" label. Just what would any of your pumped-full-of-nostalgia fighters of the past have done...boxing wise, technique wise...that would have gotten them any closer to Wlad's sensitive chin? Specifics, Radam, specifics. What would have to HAPPEN? Did any of them see a better jab or accuracy of power punching than Wlad's? Do you actually equate Wlad's abilities with JESS FRIGGIN' WILLARD, who might have been more like Tye Fields, or maybe, Valuev, but plucked out the cornfields to make an ill-trained-for comeback? C'mon, Rad, you're no boxing dummy. Step back from the hyperbolic raspberries and tell us all HOW the fighters of the past would have achieved what you say. Not to say that any one of then COULDN'T have. But your rants rely on assertion and joyful poetry. Gimme analysis, Jack, or step on back if you can't handle the flak. FighterforJC says: Absolutely Wlad is more invincible than Tyson ever was. Your Alzheimer's has gotten the best of you yet again. It is Tyson who folds at the slightest sign that his opponent wasn't afraid of him, not Wlad. In fact, Tyson lost to every single fighter who stood up to him. And don't forget, Tyson made a career out of ducking Evander Holyfield. Regardless of how Tyson would've fared against the likes of Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis and George Foreman, the fact remains that Tyson ducked all those guys, too, even going so far as to pay off Lennox Lewis a couple of million dollars to not have to fight him when Lewis won a court decision that required Tyson to face him. Again you bring up your favorite stories of the smaller men beating the bigger men, and you'd have to file back several decades, while on the other hand, I need only go back a few months to a couple of years to give you a list about triple the size of yours, of the smaller guys that fell at the hands of the Klitschko bros. In the meantime let me sit back and relax as I wait for your "in the know" speech. Radam G says: Absolutely 95 percent of boxing bodies and talking heads agree with Sugar Bert. "The jury is not only still out on the Klitschkos, it have run away -- LAUGHING!" [In the land of opportunities -- the USA -- you can only see those bums on da WEB: FREE! You couldn't pay me to watch.] Maybe the TSSU powers that be will give the "'in the know' speech." Check out how and where a superior boxing scribe with a family history of over 100 years of top-notch level of boxing and reporting rated the K-bums -- I mean K-bros/docs. Absolutely nowhere in the top 10. But at least he gave Bro/Doc Wlad an honorable mention. But it won't last for long. Karmic storms blowing the way of David "Hayemaker" Haye to kayo a fragile-chin giant. Holla! mortcola says: fragile chin giant with proven adaptibility takes out fragile chin midget with no top tier heavyweight experience. And stop riding piggy-back on that old cigar chompin' exaggerooni, Bert Sugar, honorary guardian of the past. You're smart enough on your own. Condor says: Remember Haye against Valuev? He fought in a skittish, frightened manner and at best deserved a draw (the lumbering, light-hitting Valuev at least tried to press the action, while Haye ran and avoided engagement the entire fight). Against the murderous punching Wladimir, he'll be completely petrified and will quickly enter survival mode. He'll lose every round and will be content to go the distance (this strategy will manifest itself during his ring entrance). I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but that's how I see it. And remember, this fight isn't even inked yet. I'll be astonished if it ever happens. the Roast says: Yeah boys! Get him! Haye was running from Valuev for 12 rounds. I know you love the past Radam, so here's a blast for ya. If Haye dont want to fight, then he should keep himself home that night!! Radam G says: Wow! I know that I don't detect hostility and major frustration up this News TSS Universe. WTF! May Day! May Day! SOS! Da darn KlitsNuthuggers from Planet KAN'T Rumble are WILDING and CHILDING. But it's all good! It's okay! It's understood! Luv is blinding! Mortcola and FighterforJulietCesar -- I mean JC -- are just claiming their razor-thin territory for the greatest bums of heavyweight history. No other heavyweights in the history of the game were ever thrown off of half of the nations of the world's radios and televisions, but the K-bros/docs. Maybe mortcola and FighterforJokes/Comedy -- I mean JC -- are long-lost bros of the Klits bums, I mean bros/docs. Or maybe they are just cousins or on the K-payroll. mortcola says: Radam - you used to analyze the boxing and mix it up with the poetry. Now you're just making it all up and not talking about how Jerry and Mike Quarry would actually get the job done. You left out the boxing part. FighterforJC says: The Jerry Quarry fight is easy to analyze, that one's beneath Radam G, so I'll do the dirty work. Quarry gets cut during the staredown, and strategically eats a couple of left jabs from Wlad for good measure, turning the cut into a nasty fountain of blood. Looking for the perfect opening, Quarry then masterfully squirts the blood from his gash onto Wlad's eyeballs, blinding him for several seconds during which Quarry unleashes a 20-punch barrage that prompts the ref to stop the fight. Radam G says: You are entitled to feel entitled and that way -- your way, or the highway. No, thanks! I luv flying to and from Manila Bay. To each his own. You believe that the Klitschkos are greats, I believe that they are flakes. And the power and speed from a legit, in-shape, right-size heavyweight, they cannot take. Perceptions to some, are realities to others. No major networks on the planet want to televise a Klitschko's bout. Close to 100 percent of the powerful global media apparently believe what I -- as many -- shout. Locally, in Germany, da Klit bros/docs are da BIG deal. Globally, they have NO APPEAL! Radam G ain't their hater. To those German MOOLA-making suckas, I say more power ta ya, and LATER! Ain't tryin' to be be the anti-klits DEBATER! the Roast says:
If this fight is a dud than it will be Haye's fault. Wlad will jab and stalk. That is what he does. If Haye runs he may make the distance and lose a dull UD. If Haye tries to get inside and do damage or even just dart in with hard shots from time to time, he will get caught and knocked out. Or he may catch Wlad with a thunder bolt and shock the world. This fight is on Haye. He talked it now he's gotta walk it.

Now that it looks as though IBF/WBO heavyweight title holder Wladimir Klitschko 55-3 (49) and WBA title holder David Haye 25-1 (23) are finally going to fight, some writers and pundits are proclaiming that the fight is what boxing needs to shine. And that it's about time there's some interest in the heavyweight division. Some even view a potential Klitschko-Haye showdown as being perhaps the most significant heavyweight fight since former champ Lennox Lewis stopped Vitali Klitschko almost eight years ago. I guess that's a fair point. However, both Lennox and Vitali had been training for different opponents when they were suddenly matched up. So it's not like there was a whole lot of drama and build up leading to the bout before hand. 





I'm not gonna holla, I'm gonna SCREAM! I'm reminded of a lemon. Not the fruit, but the car. As long as it's on that lot with the other ones, it looks as if it can drive fast and far. All the BIG part of the optical illusion to cause a buyer mass confusion. The confused buyer needs to be protected. This is why the powers that be came up with the "Lemon law." But the car lots of lemons pull every gimmick not to be detected. With every lie, trick and alibi, they're fast on the draw. The K-bros/docs' era of boxing is like lemons on that specific car lot. In all eras, what it took to be great -- adriotous opponents and skills -- they just ain't got. The K-bros/docs are the all-time greatest B-minus fighters -- BUMS! I cannot and will not stomach 'em, so let me holla at some Tums. Doc Wlad and Hayemaker have suspected glass jaws. A scene come true for me would be to see a double knockout. This would be the tastest of the sweet science karmic laws. And my arse off, I'll SHOUT! Holla!
