Does the local Aussie have any hope in hell in winning this fight?

I don't think so, but stranger things have happened

Was going to start a thread on this, figured there would be little interest.

Leapai is a powerhouse and will cause damage if he can get inside the massive reach ( 15cm ) advantage of Klitschko. Klitschko will also want to move around and try to wear Leapai down, if Leapai can spend some time up on the ropes, he might just do enough with body shots. If it's stand and deliver, he'll get walloped.

If Leapai wins it will be arguably the biggest win in the history of Australian boxing.

as funny as it was he has a point IMO. Would do much better than Leapai. Hope I am wrong but cant see him winning

Klitschko is very well spoken English for a Ukrainian . His missus is tasty also :D

Briggs is just pissed that Klitschko's older bro pummelled him to within an inch of his life a few years back

I give Leapai a massive chance, has probably the most powerful punch in boxing, Klitschko will have a tough day at the office.
Ive had a piece of the $6 on offer, also had a bit of the $6.50 on offer for the fight going the distance

Yep, suffered a broken eye socket, cheek bone and nose. Spent a week in intensive care. Was an awesome display by Vitali and makes you appreciate how great the sport is

Does this make the big Russian the best heavyweight ever?

Held the title for 10 years so it should i reckon.

Or is it that he's just fought spuds in that time.....interesting!

Bit of both, dont think the heavyweight division has the calibre of fighters it has in the past, however having said that Klitschko is a monster of a man and fit, hard to get inside that reach!

Also he's Ukranian not Russian ;)

OOPS my bad...pretty topical error on my part.

He has incredibly fast hands and footwork for a big unit too, and very accurate.

His left/right combinations reminded me of the great man!

Whether the best or not, there can be no doubting both him and his brother have dominated the Super Heavyweight division between them for a VERY long time and it is very difficult to seeing anyone come close in the near future to Wladamir
