After Klitschko knocks out Rahman........

**Torino** · 08-18-2005, 12:13 AM

With Wlad fighting an elimination bout for the IBF and WBO #1 spot. I would expect Vitali to fight the whoever Wlad doesn't fight, Brewster or Byrd. I would think that they both want to avenge their own losses this time and quite the critics.

If that works out for them, Wlad will chalenge Ruiz last.

IMO.

The Wlad/Peter bout is for the #1 spot and mandatory title shot.

After seeing Rahman's last fight I would definitly have to give Klitchko an edge when they fight. So after that, Personally I would rather take a bullet to the head than see Ruiz/Klitchko. Byrd/Klitchko I think would be easy work for Vitali. So out of the titleholders the only match-up I would care to see is Brewster-Klitchko, if Brew is finally serious about his career it could be a nice match-up.

I just can't see Wlad beating Peter, so I hope out of the non-title holders the likes of Peter, Toney and Brock hopefully (to me)will take on Byrd or Ruiz.

Well im just saying all this "if" i just think if they both win it'll make things real interesting in the next year and a half. I think its crazy how much the difference of opinion is on Wlad on this forum, thats why this fight is great, put up or shut up. but anyways...... like i was saying

out of Byrd, Ruiz, and Brewster one of them has to step up and say "I'm the guy, i want Klitschko" and i dont hear anyone saying it. if these guys were for real theyd see a unification as big money and a chance to take over the division, if they thought they could beat Vit and even wanted to try they should be angling for this fight already.

I would really like to see a united champion again. I think Vitali needs to go after Brewster to avenge his brothers defeat. He also needs to make up that crappy loss to Byrd. Ruiz should be a pushover.

It doesn't look like any of the current title holders are in the rush to be in the same ring with VK. Don King will never permit them to fight VK

do any of you actually believe Ruiz, Byrd or Brewster are going to step up and put their belt of the line to unify, i really dont think so....

what happens???

also, if Wlad beats Peter. hypothetically could byrd choose to put his belt on the line to fight a unification instead of fighting wlad?? id be upset if that happened, half the reason i want wlad to win so bad is to see him kick byrds chump change ass.

if rahman doenst beat vitali..i think toney would be the only person i would have faith in to beat vitali..then if toney loses..noone will beat vitali forawhile

why do some ppl hold so much hope in toney? yeah, he's tough and pretty slick for not getting on the bike. but i just don't see him as a great boxer at heavy nor does he have the pop to ko most top fiver heavies. this, of course, is just my opinion. but toney hasn't shown me much at heavyweight yet to believe he can hang in there with you're vitalis, byrds, and even pure sluggers like peter. i was really hoping for a toney/wlad showdown, but wlad/peter seems just as good.

now toney's fighting freakin' guinn? and he talks **** about vitali's opponents?

btw, much would have rather saw toney/rachman for the title mandatory. at least somebody would've had to shut their mouth.
