Vitali Klitschko completes PhD studies
Ulrich Mayring
of PhD from the university of Kiew, making him the first heavyweight
champion in history to hold this academic degree (excluding honorary
ones, which have been awarded to various boxers).
Klitschko worked with 91 professional and aspiring young sportsmen
during the last three years to research into the topic of his thesis,
which concerns itself with sports education and talent spotting. The
Ukrainian commented: "I am very happy to have completed my studies with
this degree, which means at least as much to me as winning the WBO belt
against Herbie Hide."
He will be entering the ring for the first time as "Dr. Klitschko" on
April 1, to defend his title against Razor Ruddock. I believe this makes
Vitali Klitschko an exemplary spokesman for boxing and proves that it is
possible to use the spare time between bouts in a more sensible way than
partying or fucking call-girls.

One thing I noticed about him vs. Sullivan was that Vitalij looked like
a smart fighter. He sounds like an intelligent guy, and that patience
and determination will take him far in the boxing world, I hope.

I read that this morning... I have to say I think what Vitali has done is
really amazing... former Canadian heavyweight contender Willie de Witt is
now a lawyer BUT he didn't begin law school until AFTER his career was ended
by a then very formidable Bert Cooper... cheers to Vitali!!!

Talent is what takes you far in boxing. But I suspect that if you're smart, you
can probably overachieve and you're pretty much certain to be offered a job in
broadcasting fights after you're active career is over. Bobby Czyz is pretty
much a genius (he's apart of mensa) but that couldn't help him as a
heavyweight.

You need to perform in the top 5% in an IQ test. You can go to their
website and take this test, if you like. However, it seems pretty
limited from an intellectual point of view to connect performance in an
IQ test to intelligence. Basically, you can be intelligent, you can
perform well in an IQ test and you can be heavyweight champion. But
there's not always a connection.

seriously. If Klitsko is such a proud and confident Doctor, why
doesn't he publish his doctoral desertation so that we can all
read and analyse for ourselves. Why didn't Mr Mayring name the
specific field in which got his doctorate? If Mayring wants us
to believe this is a genuine Doctorate, he must answer the
following questions:
1. In what specific field did Mr Klitschko graduate?
2. Where can we find and read his Doctoral Desertation?
3. How long did it take him to complete the program?
4. What prior educational qualifications has he got? Any,
Bachelors or Masters Degree? In what field? Any work
experience or successful projects?
5. Why did he have to abtain his Doctorate in his native Kiev
and not in Germany where he is currently based?
I have a feeling Mr Klitschko is just being awarded an honorary
doctorate in disguise

Isn't Brown Sugar the same idiot who started the "Tyson for President" thread?
Why should Klitschko have to earn his degree in a country of your choosing?
The only thing I've seen this troll engineer is a Bullshit post. IMO, your
claims of having earned a BS degree in engineering are Bull shit. Where did
you go to school?....It doesnt matter. It was a bullshit school. What was
your GPA?....It Doesnt matter. It was from a Bull Shit school.

I've no reason to doubt the legitimacy of Klitschko's PhD. However it must be
noted, in fairness, that degree curricula and requirements, educational
philosophy, and nomenclature, among other things, differ widely across the globe.

So, whats your point. May I say...big f*cking deal. Lennox Lewis got
his MBE from the Queen...you know what I say to that...Big F*cking
deal. Does this academic degree certify Vitali as a genius? I don't
frickin think so. Does beating Herbie "Run and" Hide make you the

Absolutely - I get those spam e-mails all the time, offering me degrees from
"prestigious non-accredited universities" - as if there is such a thing! And then
they tell me that with such degrees, I can get the job and the income that I "deserve"

And with this you're trying to prove how smart you are?
I believe the average GPA requirement for most engineering programs are
between 2.0-2.25 (equal to a grade of a C ).
So all you have to do is get C's, use the grade forgiveness policy to
retake those failed courses, go to graduate school, do the same and
you're an Engineer!!
Compare that with GPA requirements of 3.7-4.0 for Medical schools,
Psychology PhD. programs, etc.

Really? Last time I looked they accepted a bunch of different IQ tests
and nothing else. IQ tests are more or less bullshit, though. Consider
the definition of intelligence by the guy who invented IQ tests:
Intelligence is what an IQ test measures.
I have a couple more such definitions:
Art is what an artist creates.
Rocket science is what a rocket scientist does.

You're right, academically the American PhD is not worth as much as the
European one. The same goes for undergraduate degrees. However, the
American education system is geared towards practical application and
not theory. That's why the Americans are beating us Europeans in almost
every industry. And, on top of that, there are many geniuses in the US,
who are supported in a much better way than in Europe.

It certifies him as an individual, who can hold his own in life even
without boxing. We should have more of these people in this sport.

I have a feeling you have no interest in reading Klitschko's doctoral
thesis, nor do you have any particular interest in adding anything
constructive to this newsgroup. You're just here to compare yourself to

I think we're saying the same thing. Again, quoting their site:
"Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within
the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence
test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other
qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility."

It's expensive because the government taxes it so much. Without the

as a washout of one of the finest engineering prgrams in the world some years
ago, a can assure that an engineering degree carries a great deal more of
accomplishment than any degree. Med schools don't even take 50% of pre-med
students. as for doctorate and masters programs, dn't open ya trap until you've
done it. becasue afterwards, its an about face on the reasons for doing the
degree.

I think I remember the guy to whom he's referring. IIRC, he was a doctor
and he might have been from Ireland. He was somewhat tall and thin I think.
He was in good cardio condition, but he could punch worth a damn. That's if

I don't think either ever fought McNeeley though as both were decent

If Collins is now an MD, it's news to me.

I posted several days ago that it was Terry Christle. Here it is again.
He was a middleweight who was trained by the Petronellis.

Now that I hear the name, sounds like it.

psychology or med school and match GPA numbers like that. In other words,
it's quality, not quantity. In many cases, just to get a 3.0 in
engineering, comp sci, math, physics, etc. it takes a heck of a lot of
dedication, personal study, and social sacrifices (elimination of partying,
staying home on the weekends to study, staying up all night to get an
experiment done, computer program working, etc.), and just plain smarts.
In many cases, your thinking about that missing solution to the problem for
a whole week, if not longer! I have a Masters in Computer Science and I
know this experience. This is not to say that you don't sacrifice to get
high grades in all topics, but the hard sciences are much tougher and have
a much higher attrition rate amongst freshman and sophomore students than
the other courses that you mentioned.
I'm not saying that the 3.0 or 4.0 in psychology or med school is easy, but
I would guess that the difference in GPA in a science or math curriculum as
opposed to psychology, language, etc. is about a 1 point differential in
terms of average grade. No, it's not a scientific survey, but I've seen
many 4.0 students who do not major in the sciences fall flat on their face
when it comes time to take that math or computer elective course. I've
personally seen the panic in the faces of these students because their
valedictorian or dean's list status become jeopardized.

Aptitudes differ. That could explain why those 4.0 students aren't
math/science majors to begin with, because they don't have the aptitude for it.
I'm one of them - I started hitting the mathematics wall in 10th grade, never
made it to the prestigious calculus classes, and I made a D and an F in trig
and analytic geometry. And as an undergrad in college, I took exactly *two*
"mathematics courses, which was the minimum requirement. One was something
called "Finite Math" that I rarely attended and still managed to ace, because
it was embarassingly easy - and the catalogue described it as "for the student
who plans on taking no further mathematics courses." They might just as well
have mentioned me by name! The other "math" course was the standard Intro to
Computer Science class, which the uni very conveniently allowed as one of the
two required mathematics courses. And that was it, I was done with the
mathematics. The undergrad science courses I didn't have too much problem
with. I went on to get my degree in English/Lit and will finish my MA either
this spring or summer, with only minimal trauma.

As you know (then) Robert... ALL fields have the upper crust... getting in is a
weeding out process, surely... but THEN comes the intellectual "making the grade"
in graduate school AND finally knowing who's are the top minds of your tenure... in
Canada you are "ranked" within the department... so if you are at say Queen's,
McGill, U.of Toronto or UBC and are in the seminars (all 12 of you!) you know you
are part of a small group of "minds" within your era... a buddy of mine used to say
there's only about 50 of us! (in the country of course)

It is really too bad that my
years have come and gone quite
some time back. But I still recall
many a big talking type saying
the same things to me even in those
days. It was always rather funny
then and it's even funnier now to
read again those often unfulfilled
words.
Enjoy.
