Forget about Vitali trying to unify the belts...

There's not enough time for this to happen in 2005, even in a Klitschko-nuthugger fantasy world... .....It's feasible for there to be enough time to get three titles but not all four before years end but it's a long shot. I could see Vit fighting(around December) the winner of Ruiz/Toney to Unify the WBC and WBA. If Wlad somehow gets his shit together and is impressive against Castillo then Byrd has to fight him and he would then end up with the IBF. No way that they could get all four belts by the end of the year though. Just not tnough time even if everything fell just right.

Nothing else in the bank? I'll bet 7100 points, but I'm guessing you're holding out on me unless you've lost a bet lately...

How many points to you have, bank and all? Well according to the number beside my avatar, it looks like about 7100. Wanna bet that?

Okay then, you all seem to be unanimous in the belief that Wlad has no shot and is done. So put your money where your mouth is. Who wants to bet me that by end of year, Wlad will not be holding a belt? You set the conditions of the win/loss. Im that generous. Anyone? How many points to you have, bank and all?

Remember, both brothers have the the dream that they will, as a team, be champions. So Vitali will grab one other belt, and then wait for Wlad to come around, and beat the other two belt holders. And no matter how you slice it, we all know that Wlad has the ability to beat whoever Vitali leaves open, whether it be Golota, Ruiz, Toney, or, and please God let this be the one, a rematch with Brewster. Look for both brothers to hold all four belts by the end of the year. Anyone wanna bet me it wont happen?

it'd be nice to unify, but i dont think VK needs to, the alphabet organizations are so corrupt and meaningless... who really recognizes that brewster and ruiz are "REAL" champs.... VK could just go on beating all the top contenders, rahman, barrett, mccline, fres, etc... i think wlad has issues that need to be adressed(stamina, confidence) but his chin is not that bad... no worse than rahman, fres, or golota, who have all been KO'd several times...

got to agree with that.

....we all know that Wlad has the ability to beat whoever Vitali leaves open, whether it be Golota, Ruiz, Toney ..... You use the word "we" very losely my friend. I can't see the version of Vlad exposed by Brewster being much of a challenge for even Ruiz at this point. Toney would probably smack him down. Your man Vlad is done. He's mentally soft now that he's aware of his powder-puff chin and 6-round stamina.

wlad aint doing shit, his chin/stamina wont let him. he cant even find a fight right now, he is just not worth fighting. high risk(has good power) low reward(people will say wlad is washed up)

Look for both brothers to hold all four belts by the end of the year. Anyone wanna bet me it wont happen? "Maybe" in 2 years if he pulls himself together. For now, until proven otherwise, not as much as chin, he has a HUGE stamina problem. Lets see what happens on Apr 23rd http://www.klitschko.com/images/photo_1031_01.jpg

Look for both brothers to hold all four belts by the end of the year. Anyone wanna bet me it wont happen? Wlad would have to fight 3 fights in a year to od this, no way this happens. The 2 brothers are some of the most inactive boxers around.

In order for that to Happen, Wlad needs to get ranked high enough to fight for a title. How is that going to happen when his Strawberry Sunday Chin gets cracked by guys outside the top 30? They're having enough trouble finding stiffs that Wlad can beat. He won't be ranked anywhere near a spot to fight for a title anytime soon.
