Do the Klitschko Brothers know this is boxing?
By Steven Wain: There have been many articles all over the web about whether or not the Klitschko brothers (Wladimir and Vitali) should fight each other to find out once and for all who really is the best Heavyweight at this time.

Vitali Klitschko Looking Kind of Old
By Chris Williams: I’m starting to have second thoughts on the Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Arreola bout on September 26th, after seeing recent photos of Klitschko. He’s really started to look old. He’s looks like he was dipped in a bottle of old and came out of it looking like he’s in his mid 40s.

Does Arreola have a chance Against Klitschko?
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight Chris Arreola (27-0, 24 KO’s) looks to be a long shot to beat WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (37-2, 36 KO’s) next month on September 26th, at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California.

It’s Too Bad Blood is Thicker Than Water
By PHILIP H. ANSELMO: There’s an underground rumor that WBC heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko is planning to retire after his upcoming scrap with tough Cristobal Arreola; citing perhaps one last fight there-after if successful. Vitali’s nearly two years short of turning 40-years old. If it’s two more fights, the way the chips are falling, it wouldn’t be surprising if he got the winner of the upcoming Nicolay Valuev-David Haye fight for the WBA title next (!), barring another John Ruiz intervention. Why wouldn’t the victor, especially if it’s David, target a 39-year old, slower Vitali?
