Wladimir Klitschko defeats David Haye


Panthers128

Recommended Posts

Gets no respect from the media but clearly the best boxer around. Classy individual as well. A doctor who is an avid chess player and fluently speaks five languages (doesn't shy away from it, usually address various fans around the world after matches).

The media constantly goes on about how it's a weak generation of boxing but it was none other than Klitschko's older brother who scared Lennox Lewis into retirement.

The Klitschko brothers have said that they'll never fight each other but honestly that's the only way I see them getting any respect from the world media.

Wasn't a fight at all. I was truly pumped for this fight, Haye's trash talking was extraordinary, but he didn't back it up today. Everytime he caught Klitschko, he would back off instead of coming forward and continuing the punches.

And then the fuging flopping. Good fuging god man. I raged changed the channel so many times cuz I was so fed up with it.

After Stewart bitched the ref out, the diving took a nasty turn.

Haye was injured - he was very foolish in not postponing the fight.

As for Klitschko - he's a prime example of why the Heavyweight division sucks. He's boring and bang average. It's a super, super weak generation of heavyweights.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
