IMO it is in a fighter's best interest to fight opponents that the fans want most. It is fans who buy the tickets to the arena, order the ppvs, and who ultimately give the fighter their approval ratings. After months of speculation, injuries, and excuses on Vitali's next opponent, here we are today still having the same discussion/arguments on his next opponent. So, as fans of the heavyweight division and boxing in general, who do you(the fan) want to see Vitali fight next?
I used to really like Klit. But he NEEDS to figth someone. The easy answer to this is Byrd. Barrett is the most overrated fighter in the any of the weight classes. But then again both Barrett and Klit biggest wins were loses.
Dr Vitali Klitschko :boxing:
- I - take rematch - 2000-04-01 Chris Byrd Estrel Convention Center Berlin Neukölln Germany L RTD 10 WBO Heavyweight Title
- II - take a rematch for brother Wladimir - 2004-04-10 Lamon Brewster Mandalay Bay Las Vegas NV USA L TKO 5 Vacant WBO Heavyweight Title
- III - The Quiet Man John Ruiz WBA Heavyweight Title
- IV - Beast From The East Nicolay Valuev
He was being offered more then 39 million dollars to fight Klitschko...
That is insane f***ing money; is Lewis super-rich or is he super stupid for not wanting to fight for that much money?!
Vitali will look really bad, even to many of his fans, if the winner of Rahman/Barrett is available and Vitali fights somebody else.
Agreed, I feel those 2 are actually the 2 with the best chance of beating him, maybe Brewster. I mean I'd pick him over any of em, but they got the best shot... no doubt about that.
Klitschko should fight Toney this would be a huge PPV event which should get atleast 350,000 buys. I think this is a fight most of the boxing world wants to see. Toney has been talking trash about Klitscko for a long time now, they have gotten into some verbal wars also and this fight needs to be made asap. I am a Klitschko fan but if this fight does not happen soon I and other fans will be dissapointed. Vitali can beat all the guys in the division now he just needs to step up and do it. I know hes coming off an injury but I dont think there is a need to fight a warm up fight like Maskaev. Vitali make this fight happen and show all your haters that u are not what they say u are. Your are the WBC champion and that is a title that was held by some of the greatest boxers in the world now it is your turn to dominate and show the HW division who the man is. I have a feeling that this fight will be made soon....
Lewis would be best to just stay retired, which he will. He already heas plenty of money... so why should he come back? If he lost, which he knows he would, it would just tarnish an otherwise great legacy.
IMO Lewis will never come out of retirement to fight again. I read maybe 3-4 months ago that Lewis was offered an obscene amount of money($15+ million, help me guys if you know the exact figure) and turned it down, saying he was comfortable being retired and making "Red Stripe Beer" commercials.
He was being offered more then 39 million dollars to fight Klitschko...
Hey Bozo my main man whats up!
I agree Toney is the fight that should be made...
I think currently that Ruiz, Brewster and Byrd are fights that just can't be made because of King...King will most likely only let Rock go after VK right now...King is not going to let one of his belt holders fight mickey mouse if he dooes not have some sort of future deal/options with Mickey mouse.
If Rock fought VK and happened to lose then King would have him back on a HW PPV in a few months fighting for a piece of the title or fighting an eliminator...Kings HW's are all like regergitated puke.
Toney is the fight!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddd
when i talked to lamon last friday i asked him who he was gonna fight next and he said he wanted vitaly. i would like to see that fight. simply because lamon beat up on wlad. like posted earlier....vitaly like to get revenge on those who have whipped wlad. i don't see alot of interest in a tony fight. tony is 5'9. i just think it would be a mismatch. nothing against tony but vitaly is just too big for him in my opinion.
Brewster bitched out, Klitschko called him out after Brewster was popping shit, Brewster said he never called out Klitschko. Brewster needs to stop talking cause we all know whatever Dong King wants thats what Brewster will do...
im not gona lie, im a fan of both klitschkos, vitali is my favourite heavyweight... but im realistic wen i predict fights, and results, and so forth. and honestly, i htink vitali can beat everyone on that list, theo nly person i think who has a shot of beating him is rahman. but since style makes fights, if he loses to barret, he wont fight vitali, and barret IMO, will get eaten up by vitali. barret was hammered by wladmir, and vitali is stronger so... only rahman has the chance
Not only that, but you get rid of both idiots on this thread, The Pretender and Bozo no no!
Well, The Pretender is temporarily gone.. so it's one down and the other is also a down!
Love it..
1 - Obsessed with Ruiz
2 - Obsessed with Klitschkos and no matter how much he calls everyone a nut hugger, the biggest nut hugger is himself. No one one this site talkes more about Klitschkos than Bozo!
Even their names are classic!

This coming from the troll who follows me around and ignores me, reads my posts anyway, unignores me, and then ignores me again only to continue reading my posts anyway.
Just like this one.
That's right Vdiary. If you are reading this, you are validating how pathetic you are.
I'd like to see him fight Toney. And if somehow Wlad can get in with Byrd, then maybe the Klit Bros will realize their dream and be done with it. Or better yet, then Vit fights Rock and Wlad fights Brewster, and The Pretender goes into unending orgasms trying to figure out which Klit his boy can lick! LOL!!Not only that, but you get rid of both idiots on this thread, The Pretender and Bozo no no!

let me ask you this.... if the fluke cut(the worse cut) didnt happen and the fight had gone, what do you think would have happened??
here's my speculation - lewis was coming on strong but was tiring... lewis was fighting an unusually agressive fight for him and he was slightly out shape cause he thought he was fighting KJ 2 weeks prior... vk was determined not to lose after wlad got KO'd by sanders... i'm guessing lewis tires out VK wins by dec. or stoppage...
There's no room to talk about how he did well and made it competitve when everytime the fight is mentioned you have several deluded morons talking about How Vitali really won that fight / only lost because he was unlucky / really beat Lennox Lewis up.
I agree with you Bozo.
