VITALI KLITSCHKO THE UPPER CLASS OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION

Vitali Klitschko W 12 Shannon Briggs SCORES: 120-107, 120-105, 120-107

Most of the boxing world thought that Shannon Briggs wouldn't stand a chance against Dr. Ironfist, and they were right. Vitali put a man size beating on Briggs that he will not soon forget. Briggs some how made it to the final bell after 12 rounds of pain. Every time either of the klitschkos get in the ring they glide to victory. Shannon is an old heavyweight retread but he has power, but that didn't matter against the elder Klitschko. From the opening bell you could see who came to fight, and it wasn't Briggs. The only type of offense he was able, or willing to muster was the singular body shot. He only threw a handful of right hands, and landed only a couple. Klitschko jabbed, hooked, and pot-shotted Shannon around at will. He couldn't knockout the challenger, but he did inflict serious enough damage send him to the hospital. Dr. Ironfist left the 50-50 deal on the table if Haye wants to step up next. I don't think he will be that willing after the way Klitschko disposed of Briggs.

Wladimir Klitschko is as dominant as ever, but still no respect.

Wladimir Klitschko KO 10 Samuel Peter TIME: 1:22

Wladimir's most recent win over Sam Peter was his 13th victory in a row since losing to Lamon Brewster. Only 2 of his 13 wins have gone the full 12 rounds. He tried to get a fight with David Haye after he ran his mouth, then Haye just ran. He also attempted to honor number 1 contender Alexander Povetkin's mandatory challenge, Povetkin also ducked him. People always cry about his so called boring style. The fact is, he is the most dominat heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis. Wladimir is another Emanuel Steward fighter I might add. He was a young fighter that often gassed before he got with Manny. He has been transformed into a champion who fights as big as he is. He outmaneuvered Peter's powerful, but raw style with ease. He used his size to his advantage, fighting tall behind his jab. The only fighter in the top 10 that could even give him a challenge is his older brother Vitali, and that wont happen. If it did I would have to pick his older brother, based solely on the older brother advantage. I hope David steps up so he can get knocked out. There are a few names his camp is throwing around for his next fight. Tomasz Adamek, OdlanierSolis, Denis Boytsov, Alexander Dimitrenko, David Tua, are the names in the hat. You would have to give Klitschko the nod in all of those match ups. Just quit hating on the heavyweight champion, get on board and respect the dominant champion from the Ukraine.
