Williams-Klitschko in trouble?
By Lisa ScottAccording to reports out of London, Danny Williams has threatened to pull out of this Saturday’s heavyweight title fight against WBC champ, Vitali Klitschko if the Nevada State Athletic Commission insists that the Brit shave his beard. Williams, a devout Muslim, told the Daily telegraph “If they ask me to shave or even trim my beard, there won’t be a fight.” The NSAC will inspect Williams’ beard today to see if he would gain any advantage or disadvantage during the bout. Athletic chairman Marc Ratner offered “If the beard is considered abrasive, then the fighter will be asked to cut it back.” The response from Team Klitschko? “As long as there’s not a horseshoe hidden up there, we don’t mind.”

I mean, how many white supremacists cruise boxing sites, for God's sake?

When did I say shit about muslims hey you lil prick you just still mad cause I schooled yer punkass about that Tyson article. You said you were gonna put me in da red but you couldnt. You aint shit . Don't try and say I started a rascist threead because some idiot calls dannyboy a terrorist
:mad:
I was asking the guy if he thought all Muslims were terrorists or just foreign ones, get it?
ya i got that
then i was being sarcastic when i said duh
then u asked my point, get it?
True, this is hype and the Williams will face Klit. he`ll lose but i think it`ll be a decent fight, it should happen, there are worse heavies than williams
It looks like this turned into a political thread, but I will try to veir it back on the right track by saying that first, Danny Williams will not pass up the $700k that he is going to get for showing up, second, the promoters are not going to let this fight fall through on the Wednesday before the fight because of facial hair, and third, there are about five guys I can think of right now that will take this fight on short notice.
Potential fighters:
Barrett
Oquendo
Rahman
McCline
Golata
This is all part of the sideshow.
