Wlad would get knocked out by Golota and his management knows that so I dont think they are going to go out looking for a match up with Golota.
Noteworty sidenote Wladimir Klistchko challenged Golota to fight while Golota was still in retirement and Golota declined giving the reason that he was not in shape or prepared to take on such a challange. I dont think Golota vs Wlad would be a very interesting fight because Wlad would be knocked out on the first big punch Golota threw at him. If they fought in Germany which Golota would probably never agree too then Wlad would have a better chance because he seems more confident fighting there. But this would be one where Golota would be a big favorite like 6-1 odds.
If Golota wins the WBO belts and Wladimir gets back to #1 contender status anytime soon however they will be forced to fight each other.
Hell no....Golota would be KTFO on the first clear punch Wlad landed him!!!

Barrett #1/Rahman #2 are already fighting each other for the WBC interim Title on 7/23/05. Wlad #3 just beat Williamson #4. Byrd already fought #5 McCline. Byrd won't fight Valouev #6.
No one on that list deserves a shot more than the #3 IBF ranked, former WBO champion, Olympic gold medallist, Wladimir Klitschko. That's why Chris "The Yellow Chicken" Byrd should face him. Byrd already lost a title to Wladimir once that's why he's bitching out now.
Great post!!!
Wlad is the first one ko Axel Schulz.
Wlad is the first one KTFO Monte Barrett.
No one could KTFO Shufford except Wlad.
Wlad is the first one in history knock Mercer out cold!
I don't see why Wlad couldn't be the first one in history to knock Golota out cold!!!
He is only 24, but.....How fat is he going to be in 2 or 3 years after he gets a decent payday against some overhyped tomato can? Todays fighters, especially the heavys don't realize that when their trainer says that they need to be hungry, it means in the ring, not the deli. This fat ass gets a fight on tv where he can showcase what he has and impress people, so what does he do? Come in at 250. Unfuckingbelievable.
Good point!
If James Toney ever fights with Vitali or Wladimir, James Toney will be knocked out, and it will shock all of his fans. James Toney will get knocked out just like Roy Jones knock out, very scary. James Toney will never want to fight Vitali or Wladimir. He knows there is great chance he will get knocked out, and he does not want to be remembered that way.
Also, James Toney will never fight Mike Tyson, despite the intrigue. James Toney knows he cannot take a true heavyweight punch. This is why he is ready to fight Chris Byrd only.
So, I am hoping James Toney will let Jirov fight him.
Great post!!!
Agree 100% with your opinions!!!
Man, I can't believe some of you think that Hasbeen could actually beat Vitali! Hasbeen lost to a washed up Holyfield and a hugging queer in Yawn Ruiz! He knocked out Glass Meehan and now your all on his nuts! He got knocked out of the ring like Nintendo's Ring King by Glass Maskaev! This fight will be more one sided than the Williams fight because Hasbeen could never stand up to those shots that Williams was taking. And Vitali doesn't have a glass chin like Lewis so forget about the 1 punch KO, which is Hasbeen's only chance! So it looks like he has no chance now doesn't it!
I agree with you 100%!!!
IMO i believe quite the contrary and VK would've KO'd him within the next 2 rounds. if u look at the end of the sixth lewis collapsed in his chair and even at the interview he was huffing and puffing
Very good points! Vitali would've KO'd Lewis in the 7th round.
It wasn't punches in general. It was one punch in paticular that really almost killed Jeremy Williams that people are talking about.
one punch from Akinwande almost killed Jeremy Williams as well,actually Jeremy Williams has the worst chin I have ever seen!

Wladimir Klitschko, only god knows how many opponents he finished off with it.
I agree with you! Wladimir's left hook is the hardest,Wladimir has the most powerful straight right as well!
Hardest Sam Peter LOL? Wladimir Klitschko has a much harder hook than Peter.
I agree with you 100%!!!Peter's power is overrated,his pouches even can't hurt Shufford and Jovo Pudar!
Business decision? Do you need a catscan? He is being offered his biggest payday by far! He gets a chance at avenging his embrassing loss. Not to mention has a rematch in the contract! When Byrd fought the K-Bros in Germany 2 out 3 judges were from the states, and the other was one from a country other than Germany. How would he get an unjust decision when he has hometown judges? He is given the perfect fight on a silver platter and he turned it down. I guess he doesnt have the balls that he claims he does.
You mis interpreted and read a part wrong. Byrd doesn't have to pay the 250K to King, he has to pay it to Fightnight Round 2, for actually putting his sorry ass in the gamne. He want's King to pay that fee though, why should King pay for something that he has no control over?
Wladimir isn't making any demands, all he is is making the situation better by giving him the chance of avenging his terrible loss especially after looking bad in a couple of fights, and also agreed to give him a rematch clause. The fight wouldn't be very profitable in the states, and everyone knows this. The fight in Germany would be huge, and King and the Klitshcko's know this. It's business, and it's not like Byrd has to train in Germany.
Truth is Byrd is scared of Wladimir, and Rahman is scared of Vitali.
Great post!!!I support you 100%!!!
He refused to fight Wlad in Europe. He refused to fight Wlad in the U.S. How is turning down the biggest payday of your career against a fighter that you and many others here think is shot "what is best for Chris Byrd?" If he doesn't have "big stones" to get into the ring with Wlad then he is in the wrong sport. He should take up tennis instead.
I support you 100%!!!
