    Most of these guys are waiting for the Klits to retire before scrapping for the Vacate belts, Am sure Vitali would be gone soon and Wlad might go too if he doesnt see any fight worth turning up for, No more challenges for the Klits, No one seem to want to risk fighting them, Those who are willing to fight them have nothing to lose and are probably in need of a good pay.

      im sure all klit fans will **** on me as usual but maybe some of these fights would happen if they started offering guys decent paydays....hello it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out what the problem is...most of these guys are NOT ******* they are getting lowballed by the klits....face it people a fight with a klitschko could end your career pretty fast & do serious brain damage to them permanently....they want to be paid for the health risk....the klitschkos could really hurt you if they hit you 300 times in a fight & they both punch very hard.ive said it before peter mcneeley got 750000 to fight tyson.the only guy to ever get paid to fight wlad was chris byrd who got 2million & he was the champ! if they stand to make 10milliion then the challenger should get at least a million....harrison is getting 1 million pounds(1.5 million US) to fight haye so why shouldnt a guy like tua get at least that? he holds 2 regional titles that gives him a #2 ranking in WBO.tua was offered what $400000 thats a joke considering he got $500000 to fight shane cameron.

        It is interesting how many fighters are coming out and commenting about the lowball paydays being offered by the Klits.

          It is all about implied odds. If they had a reasonable chance to beat Klitschkos then lowball would not matter. They would be in a much higher pay bracket if if had a chance to pull it off. They complaint about lowball because in their mind they already lost. They are looking for payday and nothing more.

            Well, even if they should happen to pull it off their are clauses that lead to them fighting the other Klit brother and then rematches with both and on and on.

            Maybe David Haye wasn't lying when he mentioned slave contracts.

              I just lost what little respect I had for Dimitrenko.

              Can't believe I thought he might be a poor man's Rid**** Bowe someday.

                Then they should become a mandatory under association rules and get a contract mandated by it. Wait, Povetkin had that and he walked. There are 2 types of boxers out there: losers who know they are going to lose a fight with Klitchkos but want a payday and losers who still know they are going to lose but think that the can milk their paper belt or "undefeated" record first.

                  Top contenders don't want to fight each other,because they can get a title shot without fighting anybody.The refusal should have consequences meaning that they should have lost their rankings like Povetkin.How can these guys be on the top 10 if they don't fight nobody in the top 50?
                  Boxing as a sport and specially the HW division is a corrupt joke.

                  if they stand to make 10milliion then the challenger should get at least a million....harrison is getting 1 million pounds(1.5 million US) to fight haye so why shouldnt a guy like tua get at least that? he holds 2 regional titles that gives him a #2 ranking in WBO.tua was offered what $400000 thats a joke considering he got $500000 to fight shane cameron
                  You are right,but there are no rules in boxing.The sad part is that everyone is refusing to fight the Klits,but the truth is that the Klits also don't want to pay anything at all.
                  Klits should have accepted Haye's conditions,after all in the end they would have all the belts.
