More Questions: The WBC is now under pressure to strip Vitali Klitschko of his WBC belt because he wants to defend against Calvin Brock in September before meeting the winner of the August showdown between Rahman-Barrett in December. Why are Rahman's people so eager to strip Vitali? They know Rock will automatically get the next WBC shot if he beats Barrett. Why can't they wait just a few months? Would they prefer to steal the WBC belt from Klitschko rather than actually have to get in a ring with him to try and take it the real way? And why would the WBC, if they strip Klitschko as they very likely will try to do, why would they forfeit the sanction fee of Klitschko-Brock? Is the reason because they feel obligated to cater to a promoter who fears the Klitschkos?
Why can't Rahman wait just a few months till December to fight Klitschko? It's not like he really deserves the shot anyway, look at his recent victories over subpar opposition.
The whole thing is beginning to smell like an all-out Don King assualt to freeze out the Klitschko from his heavyweight world.
Will Don King ever put himself in a position to match his fighters with either Klitschko with no options, no nothing? Would he ever put himself in the position to stand at a press conference after the Klitschkos have destroyed Brewster or Rahman or Byrd and stand there in the background like a secondary figure? What would he say then, Viva The Ukraine!??
