NEWSFLASH: Heavyweight champions brother cries

EXCLUSIVE: IBF Orders Byrd-Williamson but Klitschko going to court in attempt to stop it! By G. Leon and Scott Shaffer June 17, 2005 - Boxingtalk has learned that the IBF has designated DaVarryl Williamson as the mandatory challenger for Chris Byrd's heavyweight title. Earlier this week the Jersey based organization ordered the two to commence negotiations. However, Wladimir Klitschko has filed an order to show cause in United States District Court in New Jersey seeking to stop the IBF from enforcing this mandatory. Back in September, Klitschko defeated Williamson by technical decision, but many felt the result was unsatisfying, since Klitschko was knocked down in the bout and didn't seem to eager to continue after he suffered a cut. Initially, Klitschko was rated ahead of Williamson in the IBF ratings, but after Williamson knocked out Derrick Jefferson, he was moved ahead of Klitschko. The legal team for Klitschko, which includes television personality Max Kellerman serving as an expert witness, has accused the IBF of manipulating the rankings as a favor to Don King, who promotes both Byrd and Williamson. The IBF has not backed down, however, and in its response, the New Jersey-based sanctioning body argues that the WBA and WBC also rate Williamson ahead of Klitschko. Boxingtalk rates Klitschko and Williamson at # 11 and 12 respectively, which includes the four recognized world title holders. REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! (11:15 AM EST) More to come. Williamson is ranked #3 with 1 and 2 being vacant, Wlad is rated #4. Good call for the IBF, Davarryl has earned it. Although Brock should be getting his shot at any of the 4 belts.

Yes I remember how you were crying like a little bitch, which you are, asking me to stop following you. This is a forum, just because we're on the same thread, doesn't mean people follow you. What's next, you gonna say that you see dead people?? Jack off Man you're so full of yourself! It's Pathetic No, That's what you're saying in the thread above! I can't believe how stupid you are... Anyway "JOSE" here is your chance to respond whatever you feel like as I will no longer be wasting my time arguing with a down. You're saying I cried when you made that thread about me accusing me of being someone else? I suggest you take another look. I LAUGHED at you and called you pathetic, and pointed out that you seemed to have a bizzare facination with me. And then several people laughed at you. Go and take a look. You're ignoring me again are you? That seemed to work very well for you the 1st 3 times. How long before you're clicking 'view post' again? 10 mins? You're a pathetic troll. You tell me you don't care about what I have to say, yet you constantly come back and look at my opinions. That gets you all worked up, and you reply again. You're like an abused and wounded little kid. TWICE in this thread you've told me I'm going back on your ignore list (still can't figure out how I got off it) and Twice you've come back for more. Drum roll for # 3.....

For a while, you were following me around asking me questions about how I rank certian fighters. Then you make a thread about me accusing me.Yes I remember how you were crying like a little bitch, which you are, asking me to stop following you. This is a forum, just because we're on the same thread, doesn't mean people follow you. What's next, you gonna say that you see dead people?? Jack off Yet it's CLEAR that you've been reading my posts anyway, in this thread, and others. Man you're so full of yourself! It's Pathetic And if you're NOW telling me that rankings shouldn't matter and the champ picks his defense, WHY should Byrd fight a guy who's been brutally KO'd twice in his last 6 fights by poor fighters and who hasn't beat a top 10 heavy inbetween? That's like saying Brewster should call out Etienne just because he has a win over him.No, That's what you're saying in the thread above! I can't believe how stupid you are... Anyway "JOSE" here is your chance to respond with whatever you feel like as I will no longer be wasting my time arguing with a down.

Listen you little imbecile, For a title defense, ranking shouldn't matter... RIGHT! Just pick opponents out of your ass. Back to the drawing board for you... Perhaps I'll spare your little dumb soul on another thread and give your narrow-minded opinion another chance, but until then, you're Back on my Ignore list You don't seem to understand how weak it is that you've proven how upset and cranky my opinion makes you, yet you keep coming back to see it. For a while, you were following me around asking me questions about how I rank certian fighters. Then you make a thread about me accusing me. Then you turn around and tell me and others over and over how happy you are you don't have to listen to my opinion because you've ignored me (after stalking me for a while like a troll). Yet it's CLEAR that you've been reading my posts anyway, in this thread, and others. You ask 'who cares about my opinion'. AGAIN, the answer is OBVIOUSLY you do, you TROLL. You couldn't be anymore pathetic. And if you're NOW telling me that rankings shouldn't matter and the champ picks his defense, WHY should Byrd fight a guy who's been brutally KO'd twice in his last 6 fights by poor fighters and who hasn't beat a top 10 heavy inbetween? That's like saying Brewster should call out Etienne just because he has a win over him.

1 - You're are on my ignore list and that's where you belong! Just wanted to see what 5 cents you shoved out of your ass and had to stick talking about Vlad. I control what I read and choose to ignore, so there goes your 'oops' 2 - "No, the IBF's bull shit ranking don't mean anything to me. Any orginazation that has Wlad Klitschko the next in line behind the title holder is a JOKE. Wlad has been brutally KO'd by ..." Perhaps you should stop following the sport. BTW it's Boxing and Heavies... happens to just about anyone. 3 - WTF gives.. about your opinion Nice to know that I hurt your feelings so much that you actually take the time out and edit pictures about me. -CLASSIC BTW, you make fun of others who can't spell, you should look into yourself TROLL!

1. You're an idiot and a pussy. You go on and on about how I'm on your ignore list, yet it's OBVIOUS you read every one of my posts anyway as is evident in you replying to this one. 2. No, the IBF's bull shit ranking don't mean anything to me. Any orginazation that has Wlad Klitschko the next in line behind the title holder is a JOKE. Wlad has been brutally KO'd by two average fighters in his last 6 fights, and inbetween hasn't beaten a top ten fighter. 3. It's my opinion that Brock or Toney would be the best fights for Byrd. Once again, beyond displaying what a BITCH you are for ignoring me and then replying to me anyway, you illustrate once again how my 'opinion' makes you upset and cranky. 1 - You're are on my ignore list and that's where you belong!

Are you being sarcastic? You know that Williamson lost to Wlad. How could he be ranked higher? but after Williamson knocked out Derrick Jefferson, he was moved ahead of Klitschko.That's what the whole thing is about. BTW, WTF is Derrick Jefferson?

Williamson is ranked #3 with 1 and 2 being vacant, Wlad is rated #4. Good call for the IBF, Davarryl has earned it. Although Brock should be getting his shot at any of the 4 belts. Are you being sarcastic? You know that Williamson lost to Wlad. How could he be ranked higher?

All these bullshit sanctioning bodies are supposed to be non-profit organizations, but I am sure because of that they always love when Don King secretly throws money there way. The heavy's are the only division where this bullshit occurs because Don promotes most heavy's, he does not promote the smaller guys much. you can say that again

Wlad wouldn't need to sue anyone to get a title shot if he wasn't brutally KO'd by two meidocre fighters twice in his last 6 fights. In between those losses he beat Williamson, Moli, Nicholson, and (Cruiserweight with 8 fights at Heavy) Castillo. That's a joke. He's lost to brutal fighters, and beaten brutal fighters. Williamson shouldn't be fighting for the title, but neiter should Wlad. They should be forced to fight eachother again and Byrd should be figthing Brock or Toney. Idiot, Brock, or Toney should be fighting Byrd??? Do rankings mean anything to you????? 1. NOT RATED 2. NOT RATED 3. DAVARRYL WILLIAMSON 4. WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO 5. SAMUEL PETER 6. NICOLAI VALOUEV 7. SERGEI LYAKOVICH 8. CALVIN BROCK 9. SINAN SAMIL SAM 10.JAMEEL MCCLINE Brock is ranked #8 and I don't see Toney's name anywhere! Ohhh wait, he is on suspension But you hate on Klitschkos is just pathetic.. 1 is a paper champ and the other doesn't deserve any title shots. And the only shot you should be getting is to shut the fuck up

I think WK deserves the title shot. He beat Byrd before didnt he? He has a point about the fight with Williamson, BUT Williamson got screwed against WK. His gameplan was to box safe and go into the later rounds. So eventhough he was down on the cards his plan was working. WK was getting tired and the fight was stopped because of a headbutt. He has fought well since Joe Mesi destroyed him and he might be able to give Byrd a good fight.He doesn't stand a chance against Byrd. Byrd will easily outbox Williamson for full 12 rounds. And this is what DK wants.. is to protect and secure his title!

What the hells with that! Didn't Wladimir just beat Williamson? And he beat Jefferson too. Frigen Don Kings corruption strikes again. I hope the Klitschko team kicks the IBFs ass in court. Yes, unfortunately it won't happen. King has too much power and $$$! Will he ever retire... well that won't happen until he goes to the grave.
