Rumor on Vitali’s come back opponent. Guess who!

[Mendoza]

Vitali Kltischko has been in the gym in Germany and looking rather sharp. When asked who his next opponent will be, Vitlai who usually as serious as a heart attack could not hold back his smile and said someone who is world ranked and familiar to the fans in Germany. Ah, but who!

There is a rumor that negotiations are underway for a dual Klitschko card in Germany. Wladimir will matched vs Corrie Sanders. Vitlai will get his chance for revenge on Chris Byrd.

Well known on Germany? Please, PLEASE let it be Sven Ottke.

Wlad-Sanders II ?!?!?!
Vitali-Byrd II !!??!?!

Both men avenging the losses that most haunt their careers? It'll put the asses in the seats in Germany, that's for sure. I'll tune in.

[CASH_718]

Isn't he already signed to fight Jameel McCline???

I heard Wlad vs Brewster was a sold out show. 22,000 people purchased tickets. A potential repeat or revenge match with both K Brothers vs Sanders and Byrd would sell double the amount of tickets. It might have to take place in a futbol stadium.

[Tom_Tocca]

These infos are wrong. Vitali is signed to fight McCline - there will be a presser next Monday to announce the fight and it will be shown on Showtime in the US /on tape delay).

For Wladimir: If he will fight again this year it will be in the US, though no opponent is chosen yet.

For the attendance at the CologneArena last Saturday: It wasn't sold out and therefore not fully packed. Though there were about 18.000 people in attendance.

[Fighting Weight]

There's absolutely no justification for VITLAY v Byrd or WALDO v Sanders at this point, none. I doubt it'll happen but if it does it'll be interesting to hear the spin merchants trying to defend it :nut

good point, Sanders is probably way out of shape plaing golf and Byrd is done with. I don't really see Vitali fighting Byrd either. Actually I don't see Vitali coming back since he's already 'lied' about it 3 times i believe, but no doubt the redemption factor would almost guarantee a sold out crowd.

Sanders was already over the hill when he KO'd WALDO the last time, if there was to be a rematch it should have happened back then - beating up on Sanders now would prove nothing. Same thing with VITLAY and Byrd, VITLAY had plenty of time to fight Byrd, avenge his defeat and unify when he was champion but chose to sit on the title and do nothing significant instead.

As I said, I doubt this will happen, but I can't wait to hear the excuses for it if it does :lol:

Mr. Fighting Weight,

Are you aware that Byrd was lucky in the first fight wit h Vitali. If not for the injury, Vitlai wins for sure. Byrd is still a top ten ranked opponent. This is a fine comeback fight. When Tyson came back he fought Peter McNeeley. When Foreman came back, he fought a bunch of stiffs. Vitali is going for a top guy right away, and wants to avenge the loss. Why not?

As for Wlad, he has an opportunity to pick a non mandatory title defense. In case you have not noticed, guys like Owen Beck, Monte Barrett, and Peter Okello were in title defenses recently. Sanders is better and more dangerous than Beck, Barrett or Okello. So in the context of things, picking Sanders as a non mandatory fight is not so bad.

I’ll venture to guess you don’t like the Kltischko brothers. This is fine. As Ali used to say, I don’t care if they want to see me win or lose. Either way it’s another rear end in the seat. Carry on with your loud protest. It will only hype the event if it happens.

What sort of justification is needed for Vitali vs Byrd?:huh However, we are most likely looking at Brock vs Byrd for the IBF eliminator anyways.

The fact that Byrd has been slipping for years, took a beating off WALDO and is more likely than not all shot to shit.

Of course I was expecting you to act like it's a legitimate match up, that's what Klit huggers do when their guy is matched up with yet another bum :deal

[A-50]

I do not think a Wlad/Sanders fight would sell real well in the States, that would probably be in Germany.

[Stinky gloves]

Wlad-Sanders II ?!?!?!
Vitali-Byrd II !!??!?!


Are they both scared of Peter?

[Chiko_Tech]

Are they both scared of Peter? No he already kick Peter ass, and almost knock him out in the last round.

[Nokstar]

i dont get it..how is Byrd shot just because he lost to Wlad? Why cant it be Wlad is just that much better than Byrd? Do yall know what shot means?

He aint never been on the level to beat Wlad...he fought him a LONG time ago..and got brutally beatin....fought him years later...and got brutally beatin again....thats not a shot fighter tho...thats just a fighter that can't beat Wladimir Klitschko.

[Asterion]

That card would be great. Both brothers fighting in the same event, in rematches. Byrd is still a contender and it's a good comeback fight for Vk. Sanders is very old and a win over him would not prove anything, but it's a tuneup and Wlad might want to have Sanders' name in his W resume.

However, I doubt that card happens. Vitali has already signed to fight McCline. Byrd will probably fight Brock, he talked about that chance in a recent interview. The only fight that might happen is Wlad-Sanders, but that's not something 100% sure.

[djrock247]

Good guess, but NOBODY is bigger in Germany than David Hasselhoff! "The Hoff" is gonna open that eye up like a can of tomato juice!

Knight Rider TKO6

[Odo]

Isn't he already signed to fight Jameel McCline???


No,Wlad vs McCline isnt a done deal.

When asked by German tv about his opponent Vitaly replied that there were still negotations with several fightes.He added that he would probably face a "world famous fighter" who is well known in Germany.

McCline is neither a "world famours fighter" nor a well known fighter in Germany.

[ryanty22]

Id pay to see V.K. vs Nicolay Valuev. That would be an interesting fight and i think he is well known in germany and to boxing fans world famous due to the don king show while he was champ

[Armo_Ruski]

valuev is still promoted by don king isnt he?? i doubt vitali will fight valuev but i too would love to see it.. chris byrd will get mangled by vitali this time.. 5th rd tko

[Heavyrighthand]

This is a golden opportunity for both Sanders and Byrd, if it happens, that is.

And coming off a layoff, and surgery, Vitali's taking a recent titleholder, and still legit top ten contender in Chris Byrd is a very good move, and it ALSO serves double duty by avenging one of his two losses.

Vitali/Byrd is a great move, one that makes all kinds of sense.

Don't let the Klit haters and scoffers drag this fight into the muck, as its an absolutely great fight for Vitali to take. Anyone who knows boxing can see that.

And having Sanders Wlad on the same card would really make it an event. Two very good fights, both bros avenging losses, and cleaning out the closets, so to speak. Great move.

I hope McCline Vitali is off and Byrd Vitali about to be on, cause Byrd would be a better, more competitive, and more credible opponent for Vitali than McCline would.

Byrd was only recently beaten by Wlad, and noone else managed to beat Byrd. So one loss to Wlad in no way means Byrd is any less than he was before. Byrd will still be his same old self. Very good and bold choice for a comebacking Vitali.

stop ignoring my post...I tell you the truth...

If the McCline press thing is next Monday, I guess we'll know for sure, then.

[thesandman]

Of course! If i would be Wlad i would also be scared of a guy i already have beaten. :rofl

Please refer to this when Vitlay fans are saying Lewis wouldn't rematch Vitlay because he was scared.

Wladimir could fight Samson & Vitali could fight Hercules & somehow you'd find fault with their choice of opponents.................

Dude, really, if you don't like the Klitschkos you'll need to watch the other weight classes and post in threads about them because The Klitschkos are going to rule the division for the next few years. It's about time you get used to it. :good

Yeah, I know, the only reason the Klitschkos are competitive is because there's no real competition in your opinion at HW.

Well, you're wrong. The current level of competition is far superior to that of one of your favorite HW's, Larry Holmes. His era reeked of lousy fighters in the HW division, yet you defend him & his reign as if he were God-like.

[RUSKULL]

Are they both scared of Peter?

I don't think anyone is really scared of Sam Peter.................:rofl

[RUSKULL]

............well maybe Jeremy Williams is scared of Peter but not many others anyway!

WTF? Byrd was just ranked #1 by ring mag a year ago. Also... it isn't as if Vitali Klitschko is a champion right now, and needs justification for his fights. He could fight Butterbean if he wants to. It is his career. Why in the hell does a fighter need justification on a non title fight, or tune up?

You have an extremely strange way of looking at this sport.

[Heavyrighthand]

You have an extremely strange way of looking at this sport.

:good Fighting Weight calling Byrd shot to shit is almost too rediculous to even try to take seriously. Byrd was a long titleholder who was only beat once, and that was against the best heavy out there. But since its Wlad that beat him, Byrd must be shot to shit.. :lol:

The Fighting Weight guy is so biased and laughably predicatable that you can't take his posts seriously as you would someone else's posts.

[BoxingGuru]

Vitali/McCline is final. The press conference is already scheduled. This is totally WRONG and FALSE information.

[BoxingGuru]

On July 16th, inside the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany, Vitali Klitschko and Jameel McCline will meet in a joint press conference to announce their upcoming fight. The fight will take place inside the same venue on September 22. Shelly Finkel, an advisor to K2 Promotions, confirmed this information. Vitali Klitschko responded to this news, saying "My press conference with Jameel McCline will not only be a stepping stone to our fight, it will be a road map in my quest to return the championship title of the world." Also Vitali stated that he would address any questions from the media during the upcoming press

[cuchulain]

Sanders was already over the hill when he KO'd WALDO the last time, if there was to be a rematch it should have happened back then - beating up on Sanders now would prove nothing.

As I said, I doubt this will happen, but I can't wait to hear the excuses for it if it does :lol:

You don't have any credibility of any kind when your post contains the word Klitschko (eithr one) as you've contradicted yourself already.

They'e bums if they do and bums if they don't.

You said at one point that you would have respect for Wlad if he avenged his losses. Well he has avenged one rather one-sidedly and proposes to avenge another. The Klit-haters said he could never do this as Brewster and Sanders were 'too much inside his head'.

His demonstrated success against Brewster gives you pause for what would probably happen with Sanders.

Re: Vitali, no rematch is really needed there as for all practical purposes he outpointed Chris last time and a healthy Vitali has only Lennox (now past it) to worry about.

Wlad is at this point the top heavy wt. If Vitali returns in the same form as he exited, he shares the top spot. It appears to burn your ass that the Klitschkos are the dominant heavies at this point, but you'll have to get used to it, at least for the time being.

Some on here overrate these guys. They are more than ballanced by others (like you) who consistently underrate them.

[DamonD]

No fight in the heavyweight division should be on pay-per-view.
At this point in time, I totally agree with you.

And it's Vitali-McCline after all then? Pointless little bit of muddying the waters this, wasn't it?

[Rumsfeld]

Wlad-Sanders II ?!?!?!
Vitali-Byrd II !!??!?!

Both men avenging the losses that most haunt their careers? It'll put the asses in the seats in Germany, that's for sure. I'll tune in.

That would be terrific, if it were true.

[RUSKULL]

No fight in the heavyweight division should be on pay-per-view.

That would be your opinion & one I don't share. It is my opinion that Holyfield vs. Savarese wasn't PPV worthy but some people paid for it anyway. Get my point?
