Klitschko-Ibragimov: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - The people asked for unification. They got ignored. They asked some more. They got ignored some more. They asked some more after that and, well, redundancy begins to beckon. Redundant is a way to describe the round-robin of Heavyweight belt rotations that the division has undergone since the 2004 retirement of Lennox Lewis and subsequent record-long vacancy in the Heavyweight championship of the world.

Either way you look at it. Its going to be a great night for boxing. We are a giant step closer to having one heavyweight champ! That is great,considering that we all have been aching for one since Lewis left.

Will the Ibragimov-Klitschko fight be the only fight HBO broadcasts?...

Will the Ibragimov-Klitschko fight be the only fight HBO broadcasts?...

I think yes, they will show Pavlik Taylor first and then the main event.

Thanks Brook...

overall not a bad article I agree with the writter Klitschko within 8-9 rounds

[crold1]

Chase: We are literally one step away tomorrow if Klit wins; the only other fighter who could be argued for him to have to beat is Peter and I don't know if that case is that strong.

[Leo Pradun]

Ye Im guessing Klitschko will meet Peter again I mean they have too they are the 2 best fighters in the division I think. Unless Maskaev beats Peter it is possible

[crold1]

I don't think it's easy to say Peter is #2; Chagaev has a stronger resume. Peter has one solid win over Toney and that's cool but what else? Chagaev beat Virchis, Ruiz and Valuev almost in a row not to mention hes shown a good chin and his amatuer background makes him much more schooled. I think the division is Klitschko, Chagaev and everybody else right now.

so why doesnt he fight someone worth mentioning and not the skeltons and krasniqis, i got maskaev at number 2 and peter at number 3 or the other way around for me chagaev is number 5.
