Default Wlad Klitschko

killed another heavyweight, when Vitaly dispatches of Arreola there is really nothing left for them. These brothers are good, and its just sad they will not get their just due in the history books.

What is still sad is the best heavyweight fight that can be had, is a Vitaly vs Lennox Lewis fight

Say it ain't soooo...

The heavyweight division at one time was one of the most entertaining sporting battles debated in this country. Now it's reduced to these two and the over the hill Lewis. Ali and Joe had each other, Tyson had his multiple personalities to keep him busy, George fought for another 10 years when the real decay of this game started. Sorry but without rivals nobody is remembered in the history books and these two perogies won't be.

First, hopefully it's not an issue now, but I think it's a mistake for Lewis to come back, against anyone. 45 years old, not good.

Second, what credibility does Klitschko (Vitali) have now? Like you said, the heavyweight division is sad. First, this so called great fighter retires. Injury after injury and he can't fight, but he wants to mount a political career? OK. That's fine. But they promise him the #1 challenger status if he wants to come back? Great, even more sad. So every now and again he decides to talk big and bad mouth Lennox Lewis. Then when he comes back all we see is him backing out of fights.

Who did he win back his title from? Sam Peter? Sam who? He's had what now, one fight since then, against Gomez. Oh boy. I'm impressed. LOL.

Like you said -- sad. Very sad.

They fight like pussies those two brothers. Until they are willing to fight and not just hold jabbing contests no one will care about them. Nor should they.

All of the potential heavyweights are playing football.

This guy was good in his day. Too bad about the suicide. RIP

He was a good fighter.
I will never forget a coked up Aaron Pryor
beating him. Arguello was hitting him with
everything and Pryor never got tired, never
seemed to feel a thing just kept coming foward.
Brutal fight that was.
