Shocker - Gomez Threatens To Pull Out From Klitschko Fight

[Ben_London.]

are you serious??? did you not read my post or are you not that far along in school? THEY ARE ALL BELOW AVERAGE i don't care if they are american, euro's , mexicans... aliens or whatever... heavyweight division is all below average.. and you can't even logically argue the point

You're just bitter because fighters from Eastern Europe are dominating the heavyweight division.

[Ben_London.]

I'm a fan of the K brothers, but I think they are the promoters of this event and bear some responsibility. A heavyweight title fight should always be in a 20 foot ring.

True, but it's only Ahmet Oner who's claiming it isn't, and he's been proven to be a crook in the past.

It was probably a few inches short and they've fixed it now.

Gomez has a good chance of beating Klits by boxing in a small ring it really minimizes his chances..fck Klitshcko

seriously??? 4 FEET how the hell did the klit. mngmt F*** this up? i mean seriously 4 feet... measure it out on the floor and see if it wont make a difference

it's really no surprise that this happened.maybe haye isn't the problem at the contract talks either.those 2 will do anything to hold onto those belts.for a couple of university educated guys you think they could have the proper ring size for the fight they are promoting.they can speak 5 languages but read the rule book.hmmmmm? I'd laugh if gomez had pulled out of the fight.those klitschkos would have been so embarrassed having to replace their mainevent.they are continuing to make a mockery of the division.bending the wbc rules & 2 rematch clauses,stalled contract talks,lawsuits against future mandatories...these guys are clowns & a joke to the division.bring on ruiz vs maskaev

I've said it before eastern European fighters train harder,work harder but once they have a title they will do ANYTHING to keep it.I miss tyson,lewis,Holyfield,tua,etc.they all fought each other & made good fights.these guys like the klitschkos,ibragimov,liahkovich,dimitrenko build up their records against inferior opposition than claim to be great.I give wladimir credit because he came back from some crushing defeats against 3 fringe contenders.when the best heavyweights were fighting in the late 90's & early 2000's wladimir was getting knocked out by purrity,sanders,brewster(fringe contenders at best),& vitali was quitting against Byrd.the klitschkos had their chances with the big boys but failed miserably.those 2 guys are the top guys only because the best are retired or well past their peaks(Rahman).it's too bad the klitschkos didn't have the stuff to get it done during those years because then would get more credit.imagine them fighting a prime Tyson,lewis,Holyfield,tua,Rahman,maskaev,& many others.they would have gotten killed.chris Byrd is nice wins but the size difference wa substantial.Sam peter would have lost to all of them too.the klits rule the ****tiest heavyweight division ever.guys like Austin,ibragimov,liahkovich wouldn't even be in the top 20.

Ohner is gonna demand that he gets to be the timekeeper next.

[MissDeeCole]

smaller rings make for better fights

[Mr. Philadel]

I saw Vitali's interview after the weigh-in.......he sounded nervous and I really think he's a little unsure about himself.......the judges and now the ring?.......all the Bull**** is comin' from the favorite

[BattlingNelson]

4 feet to small?? How on earth did they think they could get away with that? Good thing that team Gomez found that out. Rules are rules.

Will this unphaze Vitali?

This seems like the winner post to me. That's why many people don't like the Klitschkos as fighters. All respect for being educated, doing charity but this is boxing too and when u are holding on to a tittle so bad you try to pull this **** off against a mandatory, something is very wrong.
