*** If Winky Wright expects to fight just "once" a year & step in the ring with active tough fighters just to survive, then he should just go ahead and retire now before he gets hurt & embaressed. *** Williams put a whipping on old man Wimpy Wright! ***

Jones also fought a lot of scrubs. He did that while avoiding a fight with Michalchefski or whatever. Wlad lost a couple but hes come back to dominate every top contender in the division .

Usually when a guy dominates a division people will say its because all his comp sucked. They said the same thing about Roy Jr.

You're saying that the Klits have comp in the division?? Who??? I'm not talking about up and comers because they haven't proved theirselves yet, but who is in the division that make the comp good??

I'm not (and never have) said that the Klitschkos can't fight, all I've stated is what I've seen, which is Wlad losing while the division was thriving and then winning after it goes to sh&t.

Roy dominated out of the gate, so there's no comparison!!

Usually when a guy dominates a division people will say its because all his comp sucked. They said the same thing about Roy Jr.

I see Haye getting knocked out...badly. He has a puncher's chance though. Which usually means, not much of one. That would liven up the division though.

And what's crazy, you are probably right about the heavies vis-a-vis the cruisers and LW.

As much as I wanna see a new American HW champion I dont think Nips is the guy. He's way too hittable and I seriously doubt he can take the power of either Klitschko. He may not even have the chin Peter does. The sad part is the fighter out there who has the best shot at being the next American HW champ is Chambers. How pathetic would that be?

Man Gunrunner!!! I thought the division couldn't get any worst!!!!!

Winky's anything but a sparing partner. He moved up in weight to fight B-Hop and lost-then he retired for a year and change to come back and fight a pretty good active fighter and lost. So you have B-Hop and Williams-1 old great and a pretty good young fighter know sparing partner there. Winky just needs to stay active- there are plenty of good boxers Winky can defeat

*** Winky's becoming a sparing partner type fighter due to his age & once every 16-months pro-fights. *** Williams on the other hand is becoming a force to deal with @ 147 & 154lbs. and still growing! ***

Arreolas aggression is no better or different then samuel peters and both klitchkos handled that pretty well...especially vitai. Not to mention that the klitchkos both have the power to go with good technical skills for heavyweights!


If Arreola wants to fight a Klitschko, he needs to follow in Haye's footsteps and fight Wladimir. Vitali would kill him, in my opinion. With Wlad, you have a chance to land a hard shot and change the outcome of the fight, with Vitali, and his rock chin, it's going to take a lot more than that. You'll have to actually beat him.

Hit Wlad in the chin and you'll get a belt and a fight with Vitali, which is a big payday, win or lose!!!! It gets no better than that in the HW division.
