    Firstly, when I wrote this last night, I was drunk. I'm amazed, reading it back with a mild hangover, that it makes any kind of sense at all.

    But Danny didn't say he'd retire immediately after beating Vitali, just reasonably quickly. (Unless anyone knows differently)

    As for defences, I'm thinking back past Lewis to the old days, where champs used to defend all the time. 60s-70s, that period. Though I guess if there's not the audience for it...

      Here's where I put it on the line... Danny will beat Vitali next month.
      Let me get this straight, you say that Williams who is less talented and will retire soon would be a more exiting champ.

      Your right that it will be a lot harder to predict the outcome if Danny defends the tittle.

      And Danny winning? Ah right you were drunk when you wrote it.

        What makes you say Danny is less talented? How many of his fights have you seen?

        As for excitement, then having a 6'7 (or is it 6'8?) champ that's supposed to be a heavy hitter and could take out most of the division isn't so enticing... look at last night, with Barrera-Morale's "either could win" match.

          Well its not worse than comparing Vits record with Danny`s.

          And about heavy hitting, only one man has gone the ful time with him, and Danny needed an enourmous amount of punches against Tyson.

          Ok i admit i havent seen much of Danny`s fights.

          But Vit`s last fights sure was exiting.

            BTW Vitaly is fighting third time this year. Johnson, Sanders and now Williams. So he fights three times more than Lewis

              [QUOTE=Anorak]Vitali... how long has it been since he won the title?

              Danny would defend it far more regularly... and that's because he wants to give up boxing ASAP as it's against his religion.

              D.Williams wouldn't be a good champ because he wants to get out of boxing for personal reasons not related to his religion.thats just excuse for not wanting to fight anymore. Ali was a ****** and so is tyson, its never been an issue for them.

                    There's not too many guys who wouldn't be more exciting than Vit. The only reason he's not considered the most boring ranked heavyweight is because The Quiet Man has a belt, too.

                      Williams is there to make Vitaly look fantastic and add to Vitalys legacy so that when Ruiz finally gets a hold of him, (I mean that literally), there can be more people talking about the lineal championship.

                      Williams is a puppet, and I expect the same crap that Kirk Johnson gave him.
