Klitschko should fight Sanders

[DiegoFuego]

Unification is never going to happen. Wladimir had a chance to fight Chagaev this summer and never really pursued it. It's absurd to claim anyone in this division wouldn't want to fight Wlad above all others. He's the most skilled by far, but he's also so vulnerable, any puncher has a chance to take him out. I want to know why Wladimir didn't immediately try to land a fight with Chagaev instead of going after Brewster? It's almost like anytime Wladimir has a chance to unify, he chases some meaningless fight instead. Every other fight has to be a mandatory fight and Klitschko apparently just used his against Brewster when he should have been unifying with Chagaev (I know Ibragimov was unavailable having just fought in June).

With no worthy opponents for his upcoming voluntary defense, Klitschko either needs to sit out and wait to fight the Chagaev-Ibragimov winner or fight an opponent who probably has no chance but still has meaning in a fight with him, and that's Corrie Sanders. I hadn't realized Sanders fought in May, so inactivity isn't really an excuse. Besides, Sanders was inactive for like a year and a half the last time he dusted Wlad. This fight should happen. It will be marketable if nothing else.

Though the fights would probably be one-sided and almost predetermined, I would like to see Wlad rematch Sanders and Vitali rematch Byrd. That gets Byrd away from Wlad in terms of all this mandatory challenger nonsense and gives Vitali a good win (after McCline and Peter-Maskaev winner) to bounce back into things. I remember when Vitali beat Sanders, I wanted him to fight Byrd, but he just wouldn't do it and chose Danny Williams instead. Vitali and Wladimir should avenge these defeats while they wait around for something better.

I am coming around to this view.

Chagaev is the one who can offer a competitive fight, but a Sanders fight is still worth pursuing.

Hell no....Sanders got rocked by an old Tyson...A young Wald would kill him..Let your hand heal and fight a champion..

fighters are tied to promoters dummy. wlad is the biggest money fight but he also has too strong a chance of winning so promoters avoid him becuase they know theyre likely to lose there champions

WTF are you going on about? Sanders never fought Tyson.

Sanders' future is up in the air right now. He hurt his hand in his comeback victory two months ago. I have not been able to find any news on him since then.

Do you have Corrie Sanders confused with the Corey Sanders who sparred with Tyson on his "World Tour" that made it to Ohio before derailing...?

Sure he should fight Sanders again. But people will give him no credit because Sanders is old, so whats the ****ing point?

Besides I dont know how much Sanders wants it. If he fights him he knows he will loose, and will go down in history as a no body. But if he keeps that win over Wlad then at least he will be know as the man who beat Wlad, once Wlad establishes himself as the fighter of this generation.

He'll get more credit for beating Sanders than he will for beating Holyfield or Rahman or Liakhovich or whatever other unworthy contender you're thinking of
