Heavyweight boxing on Saturday
Vitali Klitschko and Shannon Briggs are gonna fight on this weekend. You guys like heavyweight? I think this is gonna be a good fight. Both are "oldies" but fierce fighters so I'm looking forward for this. Vitali is defending his WBC belt. Both seems to have respect for each other and no trash talking what I have read. Should be interesting fight.

Vitali Klitschko is going to dominate this one again... The Klitschko brothers are dominating the HW rooster. We need to see a fight between one of the Klitschko brotehrs and the WBA Champ, David Haye so we know one thing... are they going to have all belts or are they going down.
Tehy wll never face each other, we need to be realistic, and I think there is no one at this moment that can give them a real beating. Haye would be our best option, but we have to wait for that fight to happen.

As it looks now, the boxing HW rooster is pretty much booring

I have to agree that nowadays these HW are pretty boring. Klitschko brothers are way too dominating. Haye seems to avoid both of them especially Wladimir. The only belt which Wlad does not have. On December 11 we will see how tough Dereck Chisora is for Wlad :) I sure would like to see IF David Haye got any chance on Wlad..maybe that will happen, maybe not

I agree with you guys in that Vitali should take this one down. I do remember when he fought Lennox Lewis, that was about the last good heavyweight fight.  Now everyone is obsessed with speed.  Boxing needs to get back to the Tyson days!

Indeed...Now these fights are "too technical" if i may say so. Tyson was crazy and figths ended pretty quickly which was great to watch. Well maybe not for those who watched on live and buy tickets for those events :) And yes the last great HW fight was Lennox/Vitali.

It would be great if the Klitschko brothers would fight, but I understand if they don't.  These guys are literally big, powerful, and skilled enough to kill one another in a boxing ring.  Add to that the fact that they are brothers.  Think of how difficult the idea of them fighting alone has to be for them. 

With that said, there are some other good fights that can be made at heavyweight.  Fights between the trio of Tomasz Adamek, David Haye, and Alexander Povetkin could be very entertaining.  Plus some other heavyweights like Eddie Chambers, Chris Arreola, and Ruslan Chagaev could make for good fights against that trio.  The Klitschko brothers will more than likely dominate anyone who hasn't fought them yet, but that's just the way it is.  The only positives are that Vitili may retire soon, and Wladimir always has that "Glass Joe chin" if someone can get by his jab & right hand.

Bad news boxing fans; The fight between Wladimir Klitschko vs. Dereck Chisora on this Satuday, Dec 11. has been cancelled. According the news Klitschko injured his abdominal muscle during his training session and will have to pause for about 4-6 weeks. Damn! :( Hope he recovers quickly and maybe we could see him fighting against Haye instead. I sure was looking forward to this one too!
