	It may turn out that Wladimir Klitschko, younger of the wild and crazy Ukrainian brothers, will rule the heavyweight division one day. But judging from his performance last Saturday against Jameel McCline, that's going to be a little further down the line than we thought. Klitschko is huge, is a skilled athlete, has a Ph.D. and speaks in the kind of garbled syntax mat reporters love to quote. At the moment, though, he's just not much of a performer inside the ring—and that's after he knocked out McCline.
