Ugg, hopefully the WBC doesn't make this guy a mandatory after beating a nobody.

Good ole Oleg. Now he's in line to get knocked out for the 7th time in a meaningful fight.

Well, he does have those two stoppage wins over Hasim Rahman, a man who KOed Lennox Lewis.

Honestly, Rahman hasn't been very good since those stoppages.

I really think he lost a lot of power in his right hand after that.

He just didn't seem the same fighter.

I just think at this point Oleg is too old and slow. His power has helped his career along and he has good skill.

I just think he's past it.

No, young Haye would hurt the old man. I would hate to watch that...

I hope it never happens, but I have no doubt Haye would want the fight.

I'm familiar with Boruff and I'm not in the slightest surprised by the outcome.

Obviously he wants none of Vladimir.
