Okay, some Vitali Klitschko quotes before the Rahman fight

[Guest]

I hope it's okay me using a boxingscene pic, but look at this:




Oh ****! LOOK at the expression on Vitali's face. That's scaring me and I only have to watch him on TV.

[PBDS]

well many dislike him just for being ukrainien, wonder how it all would be if the was american.

....Leff, your absolutely wrong. It's all about him being a white guy period.

[BLOODSHED]

Please. I respect Vitali for his talents but not his lack of balls.

Dont like Wlad at all.

Pbds: not you using the race card.

....Leff, your absolutely wrong. It's all about him being a white guy period.

[Banderivets]

Hey white boy why the **** do you have this in your sig?

"Be Proud of your heritage; dont try to be black gangstas "???

You gotta be kidding me...proud of your own heritage? Your the biggest ****** on the site......what a hypocrite.

Drago would have been proud of him..Heu even Big Geroge would have been proud of this staredown.

[Floydmayweather]

Vitali is going to Ko Rahman, we need to see Lamon Brewster VS Vitali that would be a good fight.

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Vitali is a cool dude.

coming from you, that's really something :-)

Look at those... um... what do you call them? Those jaw muscles things. His jowls?

You know what I mean. They're tight. He's ANGRY.

Earlier I gave a brief quote from Vitali in a UK magazine. Now I've got my hands on a full interview in another one. Choice bits are as follows:


On Rahman: "I am really happy that Rahman beat Monte Barrett. I was watching it on television with my fingers crossed. I don't like talking too much like this but I will close his mouth in the ring. He has been saying such things - about me being afraid of him and [inventing] injuries - I want to beat him very much. His mouth proves nothing to me. I understand part of professional boxing is show business but I also think real fighters do not perform in the press, they perform in the ring."


On Rahman-Barrett: "It was not so interesting. Actually, you know what, it was boring. But what was interesting was that my brother needed just five rounds to knock out Monte Barrett but Hasim Rahman couldn't knock out Monte Barrett in 12 rounds. And how long do you think Monte Barrett would last against Vitali Klitschko?"


On Calvin Brock: "Actually I wanted to fight Calvin Brock not as a warm-up but because I think he is a very strong fighter who would be a great challenge to me. Brock was the best available challenger for September. Honestly, I think Brock is a much more dangerous challenge for my title than Hasim Rahman. I was very impressed with Calvin Brock's [off the canvas win over] Jameel McClin in April. It was more impressive and interesting than Hasim Rahman vs. Monte Barrett."


On the Rahman postponement: "I have my own opinion but I accepted the WBC's decision. But it means that I have to wait until November - 11 months since the Danny Villiams fight - before I box again. If the WBC wanted me to fight only Rahman that could have happened in September because my Doctor informed the WBC and Don King [months ago] that I would be ready to fight again in September. So why did Rahman fight Barrett on August 14 to make this impossible?"


On his last bout: "I told [Victor Yushenko] that I wanted to postpone my fight with Villiams and come to Ukraine to protest, but he said it would be more important to win in the boxing ring and use that [publicity] to help make people aware of what was happening in Ukraine. And I was also surprised by Danny Villiam's performance. He kept coming again and again even though I was hitting him very hard."


On Unification: "I am interested in fighting Chris Byrd, because of the injury. People know I was beating Byrd but hurt my shoulder and he took my WBO title on injury. Even though my brother brought that title back to the family by beating Chris Byrd, I would also like to fight Byrd. I am also interested in fighting John Ruiz for his WBA title. What's more interesting to me, though, is Lamon Brewster, the WBO champion. He is a strong puncher, like me, and I think that would be a very exciting fight for the fans and everyone in boxing. I am afraid of no one, no challenge. In fact I want to fight the strongest fighters. No matter what, I will be WBC vorld champ for a very long time."

HE FAILED TO METNION HE QUIT AGAINST THE 215 POUND BYRD.

acting like it wasnt his fault that he lost.

so what if he was beating him, he could have finished the fight (which he only had 2 more rounds to go) and got the decision which makes it even more pathetic like tszyu quitting before the 12th.
