why is wlad fighting mormeck?

noone else to fight really, i could name 5 heavyweights that refused it and said they want more fights first

Jesus Christ this forum is filled with idiots. Do 10 minutes of research and you will see that the guys ahead of Mormeck in the rankings either have ducked Wlad or stated an intention to wait on the fight. Mormeck is ranked by both the IBF and WBO and like it or not he is just as good as the alternatives for a December date like Maurice Harris or Alexander Ustinov. It drives me nuts to see people criticize champions for being active and determined to fight no matter who is put in front of them. Some of the morons posting in this thread would lead you to believe it's better for the sport if Wlad just sits on the sideline for a year and a half twiddling his thumbs waiting for someone to develop enough to pose a challenge. Hell the main reason Wlad is considering this fight is because he is so active he has alreayd beaten everyone else willing to fight him. And any way you cut it Mormeck is just as good or better than a lot of the title defenses of Joe Louis and Larry Holmes. Marvis Frazier anyone?

I'd rather he knock out someone he already knocked out than fight Mormeck. Inexcusable fight. He doesnt wanna sit on his ass and wait until next year, he would rather stay busy and active. Nobody wants to fight him until they are ready. Unlike in the other divisions where people calling out the champions all the time and talking smack. Wlad and Vitali cleaned division so badly nobody even wants to fight them anymore unless they just looking for some $$$.

No one else is willing, except for worst choices like Welliver, Harris, etc and people Wlad's already fought like Rahman, Chagaev, etc. Povetkin: chicken Dimitrenko: said no, he says he wants Vitali Arreola: said not until next year Helenius, Price, Fury: all want more fights first So there really isn't anybody else until next year. :sad: But there's a LOT of talented HW up-and-comers, so in a year or two, Wlad will have no problem finding decent opponents. :) Quoted for the truth. The TS should give some alternates or STFU really.

he will probably be on vacation and take a 2 week training camp. I just dont get it... at least fight someone fresh like dimitrenko or stiverne or for god's sake arreola.

He wants his damn 50th knockout, cuz Haye didn't as he expected. Mormeck gets knocked out whenever Wlad wants to. Probably goes 4 few rounds, because it's on free tv in germany+advertisement in between rounds.

yeah i don't get it either. This is a joke.

There are better guys for Wlad...It's ridiculous for Wlad to be fighting Mormeck, shame on Wlad.
