Most notably though he avoided Rahman saying he couldn't be ready to fight by a certain date and as soon as Rahman signed to fight Barrett he tried making several fights that HBO rejected. Read all about it....

    - - Medical idiot. Vit signed to fight Rahman but was falling down sparring because of his leg that required surgery and rehab, not a duck. A duck is what happened to U IQ.

      Sure he was. Is that why he tried to make a fight with Maskaev that HBO rejected as soon as Rahman signed to fight Barrett?

            I enjoyed both Klitschkos I still view their Era as weak but Lennox had nothing to prove. Vitali injured his shoulder. Byrd got paid alot of money to go back to Europe six months later and fight Wlad. To be honest Vitali went on a bum tour until the Lennox fight so idk why he didn't get the rematch against Byrd. After the Lennox fight Vitali was bigger than the rematch with Byrd so I can see why he didn't want to go down memory lane.
            That's what I think too. It could always have been that bogie man thingy that nearly all boxers have. I have seen it more and more over the years that a superior boxer avoids his bogie man and would rather fight someone whose style they feel better against even if they are much better to the public. If anyone could point to their stances and styles. Ali had such trouble with frazier's peekaboo style and yet found george easy as he could deal with foreman's style easier. can anyone here tell us byrd's style? Could it have been that vits found byrd's style too difficult. Was vits ahead on the cards before his shoulder injury?
            With regard to lewis and vitali I think lewis started slowly and was a bit stunned by vits attack but then he started working on his eye and that tactic worked. Lewis was at the end of his career after vitali but vitali was far from the end of his career after byrd fight.

              I agree. To add more on Ali. I think Ken Norton was Ali's kryptonite. His awkward style and his natural power bothered Ali. I still think they robbed Ken Norton on that third fight. Ken Norton should be 2-1 with Ali. If they allowed Ken to win that third fight that changes Nortons legacy that brings him higher on the all time list of heavyweights and that kinda brings Ali down a peg. Thats my opinion.

              Sometimes a rematch can make or break your career. Another lost to Byrd would hurt Vitali even though I think he would win 9 times out of 10.

                Though I don't think Norton deserved the3rd fight verdict,your points are well taken ,and your final conclusion undeniable!

                  Look, it OK to be a sissyboy in the 3rd millennium, so embrace U lack of masculinity.

                    You never answered the question. If Vits was hurt so badly than why did he try to make a fight with Maskaev as soon as Rahman signed to fight Barrett? Every Klitschko fans seems to be ducking this question.
