Amazing.... His legs looked pretty good in that fight.... He had a bit of bounce and spring that he didn't have in his 30's.

He damaged them really badly during his Kickboxing career and they looked terribly stiff for his fights just before he took his 4 year break to get them worked on... His Rahman fight was postponed 4 X and his legs were putting stress on other parts of his body... He finally just gave up on his legs ever coming back and quit the ring at about 33.

But I always wondered why his legs would deteriorate in his Boxing career since he wasn't kicking anybody with them... They often do start going as you get into your late 30's, but he was a young man and having a lot of problems with them.

Vitali Klitschko's 5th professional fight against Troy "Mr." Roberts (aka The White Iran Barkley).
I particularly like the part were Troy Roberts tells Klitschko to "C'mon on Fight !"
and Dr. Iron Fist obligeses him.
