ahhh I just saw the latest report, I was misinformed.....either way, still a weak way out of a potentially great fight

Well, I really don't know enough about it to make much more than a guess, but that sucks. I've seen this type of thing as well, and as much as I'd like to think he wouldn't do something like this, only he and his team know for sure.

Back problems, eh? Yeah right, this was a clever ploy on Team Klitschko's part to delay a match versus Vitali's 1st quality opponent since Lennox sliced him to pieces. I'm not a fan of Don King, but he needs to push the WBC into allowing Rahman to fight for the interim title so that we can have a real champion at the top of the sport, one who doesn't chicken out whenever the going gets tough....say what you will about the supposed "surgery" that Vitali will have, we've all seen this type of delay before (Oscar did this to Fernando, Tyson did this to Holyfield), a phony injury where one fighter tries to stretch the timeframe of the match in order to psyche-out their opponent....your thoughts!

LOL...it's hia leg thats injured and i'm sure vitali aint duckin nobody....

btw sactown, u box man, u ever box? If so what gym you go to?

According to *********, it's back surgery. And according to *********, Rahman vs. Barrett for the interim title is possible...

SEE BELOW

Klitschko to have surgery!
Champion's fight with Rahman fight postponed again!
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is scheduled to go in for back surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles, forcing yet another postponement of his oft-delayed WBC title defense against Hasim Rahman. According to the Baltimore Sun, Klitschko apparently won't be healthy until September. There is now talk of Rahman facing Monte Barrett for an interim version of the WBC belt on July 23.

Geez, Vitali's crew is so shady that they can't even get their injuries straight

I was a fan of Vitali's, until his team chose Danny Freakin Williams for his 1st title defense, maybe the worst PPV card in history, and the most undeserving heavyweight championship challenger since Vaughn Bean

Sac town read my thread..

Klitscko is abnormalily tall. Fighters like this usually suffer back, leg problems etc..
I don`t think Klits career will last much longer, i give him two three more fights then he`s through!
