    This is nonsense. He's been given too many chances to make this fight. This only buttresses my claim that the higher ups wants Vitali as a champ for reasons I can only assume.

      ...Yes and what are those reasons that you "ass"ume? Lets hear it. Don't beat around the bush. Just say you think it's another conspiracy of the man.

        Great...more apathy and waiting...just what everyone wants.

        I'm sure that this will help solve this situation in no time

          It's just another poor decidion, and a kick at the dead horse that is the Heavyweight division.

          If this is correct (and I say 'if' because the WBC hasn't issued a press release), Klitschko will have gotten a 400+ day reprieve by the time this fight takes place, IF it takes place.

          This does nothing but hurt the Heavyweight division.

              this simply means he has another 90dayz to come up with another excuse not to fight, a way to prolong his championship a few more months, so he can say,"hey i was the champ for like so and so years..buuuut i only fought twice"

                Yeah, really, he'll say he was the champ since April of 2004 until some early month in 2006 when he only made ONE SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. **** Vitali and everything the Klitschko's are doing to hurt boxing. **** 'em both

                  The wording of this article is a little unclear. Does it mean Vitali has 90 days to defend his title against H.R. or does it mean that he has 90 days to reschedule the bout? Either way, if I was Rahman, I wouldn't wait any longer for him.

                    I'd be surprised if they gave him 90 days. I'll believe it when an official word comes out.
