What do youthink about Wladimir vs Tyson ? I think Wladimir would give him a
good whipping !I would like to have informations about "Drew"Bundini
Brown...Is he still alive ? And about Donovan Ruddock : do you think it' s
too late for him to fight for the title ? In my opinion he can punch very very
hard, maybe harder than Tyson !|

as a result of injuries incurred in a fall, I believe it was. He was in such bad
shape that when Ali visited him, all he could do was blink his eyes to answer
yes and no. One has to wonder if Ali will soon be in the same
condition.Brown used to artificially beat up boxing gloves and sell them
as souveneirs from Ali's gret fights. Keeping score that way, he no doubt fought
Joe Frazier a couple of hundred times. He also used to soak jock straps by the
dozens in vinegar and leave them in the sun, then sell those too, as the
champ's. No doubt he did likewise with all kinds of other bogus equipment.|

Wladimir Klitschko is a good fighter but he still needs to prove himself against
the top competition. Yes, he has excellent boxing skills and he hits hard but
the fact remains that when he was twice asked to face adversity, he failed to
respond well. In his first loss, about five years ago agaisnt an opponent who's
name I can't think of at the moment without looking it up, he was leading the
whole fight but he collasped from exhaustion and ended up losing by TKO. In his
recent loss against Corrie Sanders of South Africa, he was knocked down several
times in two rounds and he lost by knockout. When he gets knocked down and he
gets up and comes back to win is when he will show he is a great fighter. He
did win one comeback fight but he needs to do more. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO

|9/1/03 10:41:10 AM|Massimo|Rome||ManuteBol.com||||10|Thanks ! Wladimir is very
strong, but I think hisbigger brother is still stronger ! Vitali never
really losta fight because in the first defeat he fought with an
injuryand against Lewis the match was stopped too soon !I think Vitali
deserve the chance to become a greatchampion !|
|9/1/03 02:53:54 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Massimo, it is
not all about strength and skill. There were also questions about Vitali
Klitschko's ability to overcome adversity because he was unable to continue due
to an arm injury after the ninth round against Chris Byrd in a fight he was
winning. Vitali K. answered a lot of questions about overcoming adversity
against Lewis and he very well could have won the fight if not for the cut. On
that night, Vitali seemed like he would have wanted to fight on even if he had
twenty cuts above both eyes!I think, as far as skill goes, Wladimir
Klitschko is the better fighter over Vitali but sometimes skill is not enough.
Heart plays an important role and Wladimir still needs to show he can tough it
up and win when things are not going his way. I realize that Wladimir was hurt
early and really never reovered against Sanders and that doesn't mean he has a
weak heart. But it also doesn't show he has a strong heart needed to overcome
adversity. We don't know if he can comeback from adversity or not.|
|9/1/03 03:20:46 PM|Massimo|Rome||.com||||10|Kent, I think nobody in the wordl
can fight using 1 arm ! I think Vitali was heroic in thatfight, just
remember what Liston did againstClay... To Roadscholarette: Why are you
so pessimist about Ali's health ? I know he has the Parkinson but do you
think his conditionsare getting worse ?|

Parkinson's disease itself isn't a real common outcome of boxing, though
