with Angelo reading the late 70's Phils, what a group. I especially liked
Schmidt,Boone, Maddox and McGraw. Along with the great Orioles teams of the late
60's, those Phils were my favorites... Micheal Spinks, a champion who might be a
great pick in a 200 pound tournament along with Jerry and others, easily
outboxes Mike Weaver who tries vainly to land the Big One. Spinks by decision,
winning at least seven rounds. Chuvalo- Klitschko is a barnburner that keeps the
crowd on it's feet throughout. Both men nearly win by KO in round 1, taking
turns with big tags and knockdowns. Draw rounds are numerous, with Chuvalo
pressing the Ukrainian giant, who turns to jabbing and using his height/reach.
Both men bleed and get ugly, but the middle rounds have Klitschko, today's best
heavy, gaining control with his jab. Chuvalo doesn't know the meaning of quit,
but Klitschko drops Chuvalo for the third time in the 10th. Though Chuvalo can
still go, the ref takes one look at his battered face and stops it, TKO 10 for
Klitschko. The ref actually puts on a windbreaker in Round 5 to keep both
fighters from bleeding on him. What a match! Sorry, I don't know Klitschko's
shoe size. A tough draw for Chuvalo.|

the best heavy out there today - do you think he is better than Vitali??|

were a great team that started forming in the early 70's. After 3 seasons of
getting knocked off in the playoffs they needed to get the great Pete Rose who
taught them how to win everything. He was a big influence on the team. The 1980
team was most of the same guys they had during the 70's. I have to admit though
the 1993 Phillies were the most exciting team I have ever seen even more
exciting than the big Red machine of 76. So we have had 3 straight seansons of
second best before and maybe the Eagles will take it with the Addition of
Davis.......Klitscko can be beaten and still has the stamina of an
amatuer but Chuvalo doesn't have any way of ducking or avoiding Klitscko's
punches. Klitscko wins easy on a TKO in 5. Target practice.Mike Spinks
was a great fighter at lightheavy and could probably beat some heavyweights but
not the original Iron Mike Weaver. To strong for a Light heavy. Weaver rocks
Spinks throughout the fight but Spinks hangs on to lose a decisionWeaver
wins decision over Spinks.Weaver |

Wladimir K the best heavy out there? He has been knocked out twice in the last
year.I think there may have been something medically wrong with him to
tire as badly as he did only after five rounds against Lamon Brewster. But that
doesn't make up for the fact that every time Brewster, and Corrie Sanders before
him, hit him with hard shots, he folded up like a card table, the man cannot
take a punch and that is a seperate issue from his stamina problem. The man has
excellent offensive skills and he probably could win a lot of fights with his
height alone if he boxed from the outside and didn't brawl, which he has a
tendency to do, all offense and not enough defense. Wladimir K. is the
best heavy out there based on what? Sure he had a win over Chris Byrd but that
was over three years ago and the times he has had to face adversity in the ring,
against Ross Purrity earlier in his career, against Sanders last year, and
recently against Brewster, he failed each time. You can't say Wladimir
is the best because of his potential as he is no longer a young prospect. He is
coming into what should be his prime and it is time to deliver on his potential,
