An open letter to Wlad Klitschko.. But who is David Bloch??

Alphabet bodies don't mean much and don't do much, it's politics and promoters who stand in the way of unification. Author is wrong. We can all thank Don King for this mess, not the IBF.

Blame the fighters and the television companies as well.

Promoters work for Fighters, Fighters have to remember that. If you don't want to get screwed, don't sign for more than one fight at a time. If you lose, they cancel your ass anyway.

Television companies should stop letting Promoters run the show.

This idea of "dropping the belts" is nothing new: ****, I stated it in the first week I posted.

Before me, Larry Merchent and Jim Lampley threw the belts in the trash in protest of the bull**** alphabet belts.



Here are some strategies:

(1) Throw down a challenge: Everybody with a belt must sign now to fight you, Wlad, or else you (the opponent) will never get the opportunity again. Basically saying, get your pay day now or **** you, keep your belt. If all with belts don't sign, throw away your belt to make the titles ****.

(2) Just throw away your belts now.

(3) Demand the people, the fighters, and the television companies that are putting these fighters on to force fighters to fight the best in order to have 1 Champion. Ex: HBO would say, "You want to fight on HBO, well unify the titles because they are the only fights we are going to show. That is of course if you have a title. If you don't have a title, well just fight good competition.

The author is a nobody, but I'm sure a guy like Wladimir will take career advice from him. I'm writing an open letter to Britney Spears to marry a boxing forum admin.

I think the author makes a good point but the public wants and needs a unified champ. After that Wladdy can throw the belts in the trash and challenge the best out there who do not have titles. True the Ibf is holding Wlad back from challenging other champs but they'll let him go after another title for now.

[guru]

its an obvious point that can be made by about a dozen champs, not just wlad... PBF, oscar, nard, pac, wlad, dont really need belts... they can fight without titles and it would still be huge...

[GunStar]

Yea keep fighting guys like Austin and you will become the people champ, this guys is clearly a Wladimir ball-washer!

I stole this from another site..

But who is the Author.. and WHY does he think WK would lsiten to him?

Can Anyone enlighten me as to who david Bloch is??

An Open Letter to Wladimir Klitschko

11.03.07 - Wladimir, first I’d like to congratulate you on a very credible performance against Ray Austin. You looked very fit; despite the extra weight that you carried into this fight. The hand speed you exhibited in your repeated left hooks were impressive, reminding me of past heavyweight boxing champions who had more than just size.

But let’s get down to business.

Your statement - "I didn't choose this opponent. This was a mandatory defence. I had to fight Ray Austin and after that I want to unify the titles. It doesn't matter who is going to be next." – was one that struck a chord with me. I feel that boxing in general is being held to ransom by the alphabet sanctioning bodies and promoters who only want to increase their stake with each and every fight they promote.

The fact that you want to unify the titles is very admirable. That you want to give us an undisputed unified boxing champion (or pair of champions if your brother is successful in beating Maskaev and perhaps Briggs if he still has the strap).

However, I have grave concerns that the alphabet organisations will work against you in your mission, with pointless mandatory fights such as Ray Austin.

As the one heavyweight who is universally recognised as the best in today’s era of heavyweights, you do not need the alphabet organisation to complete your goal of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Your profile in the sport, your ability to dominate near any heavyweight in the division (except your brother who you will not fight) and the intelligence you show in your fight interviews will allow you to become not only the heavyweight champion of the world, but in fact, the bright light in a dark time of boxing.

Wladimir, I put it to you that you could end the strangle hold that alphabet organisations have on boxing – at least in the heavyweight division.

With each alphabet sanctioned title you win, throw it in the bin and declare that the belt itself means nothing to you and that you want to prove yourself to the world that you are the only heavyweight champion. State that the only title that matters to you is the Ring Championship which is historically given to the best fighter of the day and declare a challenge to all other boxers of all other weight classes that they do the same.

I am sure you will find Don King and boxers such as Floyd Mayweather Jr who will not want to give away their little trinkets so easily, but the public will demand more of boxers if we have an example to point towards as how a real champion acts.

A belt does not make you a champion, Wladimir.

If you accept this challenge, drop each of the titles you gain from alphabet organizations as you beat their show-pony fighters, you will truly find out what it means to be the heavyweight champion of the world.

Regards,

David Bloch
