Don King: ‘Heavyweight Tourney Is On’

[Scottie2Hottie]

The NEW, and UNDISPUTED HEAVEYWEIGHT CHAMPION of the WORLD...

!!JOHN RUIZ!!

dont even joke, dude.

[Bozo_no no]

he at least beat sum1. sanders
rahman isnt even fighting for it
hes getting a gift

lol, you're talking like it was Rahman who didn't want to fight.

FOUR TIMES he was ready to go.

He can't be faulted for that.

Either way, he'll most likely get that title, and he'll at least fight, which is something Vitalis hasn't done in a year.

The tourney sounds like a good idea... But I hope the Klitschko's don't get frozen out.

yeah, the tourny is healthy for the sport, but the winner in the end will have to fight v.klit (similar to the ali-fazier situation)

Well I guess Byrd will have a match against Rahman real quick here. King will make sure the Rock gets ahold of the IBF belt before the manditory clicks off for Wlad. This way Wlad will have to choose between 2 power punchers (Brewster/Rahman) instead of getting his hands on Byrd. Worse yet, I would not put it passed King to have Brewster dump the WBO to fight Ruiz, or Rahman dump the IBF to continue in the box off with out Wlad. Wlad may end up with one belt but it will not matter much since one of King's fighters will hold 3 of the 4 belts and be the undisputed champ.

I agree. Wlad should get to fight one of those guys.

I think that the shady side of boxing will show, and the Klitschko's will be completely frozen out of this tourny.

i could care less if the Klitschkos are frozen out b/c neither one of them has my respect...esp. Vitali and he would probably puss out anyways....
