I really can't see this guy being sucessfull at the top level anymore but Wlad wants to fight on.

From another Web-Site:-

Wladimir Klitschko has decided to keep boxing despite suffering a beating at the hands of Lamon Brewster in their WBO heavyweight showdown on Saturday.
"The fight is lost," he told Germany's Bild newspaper: "But I definitely won't end my career this way.

"I was in control, then in the second round, I noticed something was wrong - the strength drained out of my body.

"My legs were like rubber. I now need to find out with certainty what was wrong with me."

As a Doctor of sports science, he should know himself what was wrong with him.

Poor Wlad looks like he's just staggered out of a pub after a day on the piss:

Good point.

Does anyone know if it is a genuine Phd he's got or some sort of 'Honourary Phd' from a University in the Ukraine for services to sport, type thing?

Yeah, the football players at the University I attended all got "college degrees," as well, in rigorous academic fields like "Recreational Facilities Management." They all got 1500+ on the SATs, and were only doing the sports thing as a sidelight.

Wlad has got a Phd in Kinseology, which is more a human movement type thing I believe.

I've got an Msc in Exercise Science but have never studied Kinseology so I can't be certain.

They are not from fornicating US, where anyone who is able to read gets a college degree, and if he is not able to read he gets it for playing basketball, football, baseball or hockey. don´t compare these 2 guys with a college-student in the US, they are fornicating intelligent and speak several languages.

So "I musst breakk yuh" counts as fluency in English then, does it? :D
