Byrd - W. Klichko next? Would you rather see Brewster-Wlad II or Byrd-Wlad II?

Wlad beat Byrd once and will probably easily do it again. Brewster offer more of a challenge so i would say go for him.

LOL. Anyone who gets excited on a Byrd fight must be his relative or sumthing. Byrd is catchin up to Ruiz in terms of boring!!!!!

[Leo Pradun]

In a recent interview given in Moscow, Wlad stated that he wants to fight either Byrd or Brewster, depending on who becomes available first.

However, he said that the fight with Byrd is more interesting to him. Would you prefer to see Brewster-Wlad II or Byrd-Wlad II?


I think Brewster is definitely a more interesting fight. However, strategically, the fight with Byrd is a much better choice, since in the event of beating Byrd, Wlad can still easily guarantee a fight with Brewster. It would not work the other way around, since in the event of defeating Brewster, Wlad will loose the status of a mandatory challenger for Byrd, and the Wlad-Byrd fight will never happen.

Wladimir Klitschko eyes world champion title

MOSCOW, October 8 (RIA Novosti) -- Ukrainian super-heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko wants to fight for the world champion title as soon as possible, he said at a news conference in Moscow Saturday.

"I don't want to wait 10 or 12 months. I will do my best to do it as soon as possible," the younger Klitschko said.

He continued that he would have to fight either American Cris Byrd or Lamon Brewster.

"Of these two, I would prefer Cris Byrd," he said, explaining that it would be more of a challenge for him to fight this boxer.

Klitschko also shared his impressions from his fight with Nigerian Samuel Peter, which took place on September 24 in Atlantic City and ended with the Ukrainian's victory. "Samuel Peter used some forbidden tricks and I was not ready for that of course," he said. "The referee saw it, but I was not going to argue him."

"Samuel Peter was one of the most promising boxers in the super-heavy weight category until he met me," Klitschko said.

Wladimir Klitschko said that his visit to Russia was unofficial and that in several days he would go to Los Angeles where his older brother Vitali was training to fight against American Hasim Rahman.

this doesnt really sound like a reliable source, Wlad stated in a lot of interviews after the Peter fight that he wants Brewster, this is very new to me that Wlad wants Byrds, I tink he wants Brewster more..

[Leo Pradun]

Of course he prefers Byrd! Any heavy with a decent punch and stamina KO's Wlad, and the ***** knows it. Brewster KO3 Wlad in a rematch.

oh so u talking **** again u pieace of ****, remeber all the **** u were talking bout that Peter was gonna kill Wlad, did it happen????? Dont talk **** let the fighters do the talking in the ring....

[Leo Pradun]

for gods sake with the same line of bull****. there are maybe 3 or 4 heavies who could beat wlad, and its highly unlikely they would. brewster is by far the best chance to beat wlad, that is why the haters want to see this fight made, otherwise they have to see wlad win x amount of bouts until they should meet in the future.

as stated by someone above, the only way that both these fights happen is if wlad fights byrd first. if he fights brewster first, the byrd matchup will never get made.

so for that reason i want wlad vs byrd. wlad would wlak through him and be ready for brewster in 4-5 months. brewster would be ready to go.

both these fights will happen in the next year if he goes with byrd first, and i think he knows this. fighters always know where the dollar$$$$$$ are.

no way hes gonna get a fight with Brewster if he takes Byrd first, u know why? Vitali wants Brewster and Brewster wants Vitali, maybe if Vitali looses to Rahman but I doubt will happen...

Wladimir not a reliable source?

[TheEvilSaint]

i wanna see wlad/brewster II. i NEVER want to see chris the duck byrd ever again.

if wlad uses his game plan like he did against peter, he could beat ANY HW in the division today, IMO.

[mercadojglb]

I would like to see Wlad fight Brewster that way he can lose to Brewster. If he fights Bird then he might end up being champion and in my opinion he is not a champion but a tall ******.

[TheFairPole]

I think it is true that if Wlad fights Brewter first then Byrd will never fight him! Remember that Byrd and Brewster are cousins so there is a revenger factor if Wlad fights Byrd first. Also, Brewster will make big money fighting Wlad and he wants to try and unify. I would rather see Wladdy fight Brewster first, but the smart thing for him to do is get rid of Byrd first. Byrd will never ever fight Wlad if he has the choice if he wouldn't fight him for $2.5/$3.5 million!

Absolutely agreed
