[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has advised Alexander Povetkin to cure his fears by meeting with Mikhail Vinogradov, a famous Russian psychiatrist. Povetkin was Klitschko's mandatory challenger since 2008, but a fight could never get finalized.

lol wlad has a very mild tendency for trashtalk, i find it funny in a cute type of way

but he's right too, i mean your head does need to be examined when you avoid a title shot for 2 years

povetkin's idea of 'being ready' is to wait for as long as he can while fighting cans.

i think povetkin and boytsov need to get together, they have a lot in common, and no it's not that they're both russian.

Jesus, Wladimir strikes fear into the hearts of fighters, and Teddy Atlas. When a champion is calling out everybody and can't land a fight thats is pathetic. HBO had no choice but to scrap the Heavyweight Division!! WLAD should go ahead and fight Adamek next!!

Boytsov is 24, he just hand hand surgery. It seems like he's been a prospect forever because he turned pro at 18. He has alot of potential and it is frustrating as a fan to not see him vs the best in the division. I want to see it as much as anyone but it isn't unreasonable to take his time given his age. Comparing him and Povetkin is not fair. Not the same thing.

I kinda like this new Wladimir, talking crap and everything. This is a good look.

I think Hayden P. has told him how to get more personally popular -- what to say to the media. Americans for sure love this kind of stuff and Wlad is giving it to them. He is not going overboard, but saying enough to get a few laughs and keep people's interest up.

I find it funny that Teddy Atlas never had anything good to say about Wlad, but as soon as his fighter has to face him, Teddy runs away.

It suits him talking trash

I Think he suits his new image he isnt a nasty trash talker but he gets his point across , the mr nice guy image did him no favours -

i mean it seems some fighters are afraid of him !

Actually this Vinogradov guy is not a famous or even reknown psychiatrist, he is a pet doctor of Team Povetkin whose opinion they used in their smear compaign against the Klitschko's, the "doctor" claimed that Wladimir had a schizo-affective syndrome(whatever that means?). So, basically Wlad just told them to feck off with their allegations.

i got to admit lately wlad has been cracking me up with his articulate pokes at haye & povetkin...from the poster at the press conference to these see a shrink comments....i have to also admit he does conduct himself like a true champion....this is killing me but the more i listen to him the more i like him...too bad he didnt fight more aggressively though....i still have my favorites but im starting to enjoy listening to him
