IN-BOX; Leaving a Piece Of His Heart
To the Sports Editor: Re One More From the Heart, Dec. 17: I never missed George Vecseys Sports of The Times column and enjoyed the way he wrote. He was insightful and funny. Readers were lucky he did this on the sports pages. His voice will be missed, but I am happy to hear that he will still write occasionally for the paper. Thank you, Mr.
Were do the KLITSCHKO brothers rank among the greatest heavyweights of all time ?
Ive never really followed boxing. Was a huge Tyson fan and might have ordered a Roy Jones or De La Hoya fight here and there, but other than that never really followed the sport. Well at least not as much as I do MMA. But Ive just recently heard of the Klitschko brothers and I looked them up and they seem to be the dominant force in boxing. So where would you rank them among the greatest of alltime ?
Answer: The Klitchkos like other European fighters have excellent fundamentals, but I havnt seen any that are special. Lennox Lewis cleaned out the division and left a void of untalented heavyweights slow footed heavyweights. Im glad to see David Haye up there now as he brings some noise to a quite division.
As far as where they rank accomplishments wise? not very high, neither have beaten an A level opponent, Wladimir was knocked out by a former foot ball player journey men heavyweight Ross Purrity and a semi-retired golf pro Cory Sanders and then by Lamon Brewster who has never done anything else. After that they have very carefully matched Wladimir Klitchko with guys who stand in front oh him, slower heavyweights who will not get aggresive.
Vitali seems like the better of the two brothers but even he himself has never faced and beaten a A grade heavyweight. His biggest accomplishment was giving Lennox Lewis a tough fight before Lennox retired. But it should be pointed out that Lewis had been in training camp preparing for Kirk Johnson who was a short, fat light punching heavyweight, when Johnson injured his shoulder he pulled out of the fight and Vitali stepped in on 2 weeks notice and took on an unprepared close to the end Lennox Lewis. Lennox was notorious for training to the level of his opponent and his opponent was supposed to be Kirk Johnson. But either way Lewis opened up Vitali's face like a can of tuna and the fight was stopped. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda,
Lennox won a legit fight on a TKO.
Where do they rank? Not top 20, but Vitali may have given any heavyweight in history a tough fight, Vitali would not be a push over for any heavyweight in history although I still do not see him beating any of the modern great heavyweights.

Could Joe Frazier beat either the KLITSCHKO brothers in his prime?
Frazier is only like 511 like Mike Tyson so he is giving a huge height, weight and reach disadvantage against the Klitschko brothers.
Answer: Joe frazier against Klitschkos no. He has the possibility to Ko Wlad, but I don't see him knocking out Vitali. Wlad is too careful and won't fight a dumb fight. Anyway if it is a 12 round fight, Frazier might start faster than we have ever seen. Fraizer is used to going 15 rounds if needed. In a 15 rounder maybe. 15 rounds is uncharted territory of the Klitschkos and Frazier may tire out and ko Wlad but not Vitali.Wlad would beat Frazier on points and Vitali be frazier on points in a 12 rounder. Both are too big,skilled, and defensively minded to allow Joe to get inside, and with their 80 plus inch reach and punishing jabs and crosses they won't miss. They can't Ko frazier but they can ride on the storm to a comfortable UD
Wlad and Vitali UD frazier 12
Frazier Ko Wlad 14

How many of you think the KLITSCHKO brothers can slam dunk a basketball with ease like an NBA all star player?
If the Klitschko brothers even have a tougher time trying to dunk it than the NBA all stars should that be further proof that the American heavyweights are not americas best athletes like certain "big babies" think?
@Brother Love, you are missing the point, do you think the Klitschko brothers are as good of athletes as some of the elite American basketball players?
Answer: My friend a lot depends on how familiar they are to playing basetball don't you think? They are athletic and tall (as far as boxers go) at about 6'6-6"7" and with a little practice and familiarlity, would probably be able to dunk a basetball. Hell I could dunk one if I was that tall myself. You want to know if they are as good an athletes as those NBA players is really not a fair comparison because you cannot compare the sports. Most of those NBA players would probably get knocked out by 2nd rate opponents in a boxing ring too and Michael Jordan arguably the greatest athlete and NBA player of all time couldn't even hit minor league pitching in baseball. Hey I have a lot of respect for those talented and very coordinated NBA players as far as athletic skill is concerned but most of them have been playing the game since they were in elementary school too.

MOVIE REVIEW | KLITSCHKO; Brothers and Champions

Exhibiting a similar single-mindedness, Sebastian Dehnhardts Klitschko documents that journey, and if at times his mountainous - By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS
How pathetic was it that KLITSCHKO who was 29 plus pounds bigger couldnt knock out a much smaller opponent?
Klitschko kept talking thrash and saying disrespectful stuff. He acted like someone with no manners or education. He kept saying he would knock out Haye but he lied because he couldnt despite of the fact he was 29 pounds heavier. Not to mention he made the fight boring by his boring jabs and not doing enough damage at all to Haye.
Answer: Hey Kenny,
You have to realize that in scientific studies, people who weight 210-280 pounds have small gaps of power or strenght disavadvantages compares to a fighter who weights 140 and fighting someone at 160. this is why there is no limit to the heavyweight division. In all honesty, I also felt Klitschko cold have knocked out Haye, but I think he played it carefully because he did not want to fight an ultra aggressive Haye who is good at brawling and his combinations have knocked out so many bigger fighters than him. But again, credit must be given to the victor who won it convincingly, and I must say I thought Wladimir Klitschko did a great job in keeping Haye at bay in cruise to a convincing unanimous decision.

How the KLITSCHKO Brothers Can Become More Popular in America?
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2243719/how_the_Klitschko_brothers_can_become_pg2_pg2.html?cat=14
This article describes how Klitschko brothers could become more popular in America it says.
fight a more aggressive style, fight a big name fighter, or the Klitschko Brothers could fight each other
What else could make them become more popular in America?
Answer: To become more popular in America.... Americans want to see the Klitschko bros take more advantage of their size and power and become much more aggressive. Americans will appreciate them more if the bros begin to score more devastating knockouts. They don't want to see a heavyweight Floyd Mayweather in the ring or a heavyweight Andre Dirrell. They want to see a heavyweight Manny Pacquiao. Get more aggressive and KO your opponents... and they will win the crowd.

Does David Tua has chance to win one of the KLITSCHKO brothers?
Does David Tua has chance to win one of the Klitschko brothers??
Maybe right now he is not in his prime. But we can see from his last fight he can still fight well.
Answer: i wouldn't be surprised if he did. You might not realize this but he is better than he was back in the year 2000. i saw him training only a couple of weeks. Hes training with 6ft 5 men, just so that he can learn to take on men who have a very long reach. the ring was literally shaking when he was fighting. im still amazed to be honest.

Vitali KLITSCHKO beats Dereck Chisora, who calls out David Haye after the fight
Dereck Chisora was already acting a fool before the fight even started, so why wouldnt we expect more of the same after he lost a unanimous decision to Vitali Klitschko? Chisora may have been outclassed by Klitschko, but hes definitely keeping himself ...

How well would the KLITSCHKO brothers have done in the 80s?
The 80s were considered a weak time for heavyweight boxing but its light years better than the current state of the division.Would the Klitschkos be as dominant or would they be part of the contending pack by winning some and losing some?Or would they be non factors in the division?
Answer: Interesting question Skeet. The Klitschko's would be a force to be reckoned with in the 80's but I don't think they would enjoy the domination they are having today.
The 80's were a weak era for heavyweights as you say, and I believe the Klitschko's would have beaten the likes of Weaver, Tate, Witherspoon, Berbick, Bruno, the Spinks Brothers, Cobb etc. However the two outstanding heavyweights of the era were Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson and I doubt either of the Klitschko's would beat these men.
Holmes was crafty enough to decision both the Klitschko's and Tyson at his very best would beat both of them inside the distance in my opinion. Also Gerry Cooney, he was no great shakes but he could really punch and he was big, he would have a punchers chance with either Klitschko.
To sum it up, the Klitschko's could have picked up a portion of the heavyweight title against some of the men I mentioned like Berbick or Weaver, they wouldn't dominate though and come up short against the two Kings of the 80's heavyweights, Holmes and Tyson.

If you want to see a heavyweight title unification then why is everyone rooting for Vladimir KLITSCHKO?
The Klitschko brothers will not even fight each other to unify the titles, that is why i want David Haye to win, lets get that straight.
Answer: as big as mess as boxing is today,. having split heavyweight titles with brothers as champions is a worse case scenario, as far as i'm concerned. if they are concerned about the sport, and claim to be the best, then fight one another, or one should retire and step aside. i have often said a prime mike tyson runs through both on the same night, but it's not the Klitschko's fault when they were born.

How come everyone blamed David Haye for not engaging in the fight when KLITSCHKO was the one holding?
It seems to me it was Klitschkos fault since he was the one clinching every time Haye came inside tp fight.
What is your opinion?
Answer: Good luck with convincing anyone on the planet of that you handsome devil.That wont be easy to do. They were both a bit to careful not to get hit.It was not a good display period.So no one can brag they beat anybody down in this fight. More like a tapping match to me.They looks like little girls playing doll house.lol! Im sure ill get the thumbs down but who cares.

Is the KLITSCHKO vs Haye a feature of Pacquiao vs Mayweather, a runner against a fighter?
Since mega balls wants to make the Klitschko vs Haye a Pacquiao vs Mayweather affair. Here it goes!
Answer: Very hard to comparel actually. Both men are combinations of the two. Klitschko is Pacquiao for his power and Mayweather for jabs. Haye is Pacquiao for his tendency to get sucked into a brawl and Mayweather...for his mouth. But against Wladimir, Haye did not do a Pacquiao but took a page out of Mayweather's book by running. Seriously, a smaller fighter should get inside and negate the reach advantage of the opponent. It was surprising Haye ran, or maybe not because those Klitschko jabs are real punishment). No comparison actually. I don't know what did Balls smoke to ask such question.
