....Very very interesting indeed. I'm betting it will be Byrd but with the fight being in Germany maybe it's Brewster. On second thought, it probably is Brewster because he seems to have no problem fighting in Germany.Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMPComment

Just checked out the Klitschko.com.... Good Article..
Here it is: >>
There is a possibility that on March 25, Wladimir Klitschko will carry out his next fight in Germany. Also there is a high probability that this fight will be a championship title fight.
“Currently we are negotiating about a championship fight with both the IBF champion Chris Byrd, and the WBO champion Lamon Brewster,” told us Wladimir. “Negotiations are very difficult, but I rather optimistically look ahead.”
According to latest information there is high probability that Chris Byrd is going to leave Don King. Their disagreement still continues after more than half-year, and the problem is not only financial but also they have personal differences. Chris understands that before his retirement a fight with Wladimir will bring big money. Therefore Chris and his team have been trying to gain free agent status enabling him to choice his future fights. Unfortunately, Chris has been unable to leave Don King for now. Yet according to statements made by his wife Tracey Byrd, Chris will do everything to become free agent and once that happens a fight with Wladimir is a done deal.
But everyone knows how much power King has and how he’s able to control fighters that are not fond of him. Such was the case when King forced Chris to fight against DaVarryl Williamson, a fight for which Byrd was paid a mere three hundred thousand dollars. Now once again King can force Byrd to fight another meaningless duel with low pay. If such is the case, then King will not allow Chris to fight Wladimir.
At the same time lets not exclude Lamon Brewster from becoming Wladimir’s opponent. It’s not a secret that lately Don King has a hard time organizing championship fights in America. Fact of the matter is that John Ruiz, Lamon Brewster and Chris Byrd can’t draw big attention from boxing fans. This forces both HBO and Showtime to respond lukewarmly to telecasting their fights.
Yet Germany is different. Don King, after Lamon Brewster-Luan Krasniqi and John Ruiz-Nikolay Valuev, understands that Germany is eager for boxing. And when there is a huge interest, there is an opportunity to earn big money. For this reason King decided to organize the WBA championship fight in Germany.
King for certain will be favorable to a fight in Germany. Therefore there is a probability that rather soon, we will see Wladimir’s fight with Lamon. Besides the fact that Wladimir possesses huge popularity in Germany, Brewster, after his TKO win over Krasniqi, is also well known. Plus add in the mix their first fight, and you’ll get a mega fight, that fans all over the world want to see.
So it seems everything should work out for Wladimir. At least everything is in its place. Wladimir is the only fighter that can bring huge interest back to heavyweight division. And his opponents are top fighters, which will not only bring interest but also answer questions that many have. If you add it all together then it’s very likely that in March we’ll see Wladimir’s championship fight if not against Chris Byrd, then against Lamon Brewster. At least the possibility is rather real.Last edited by !! Mr. Soprano; 11-29-2005, 02:11 PM.Comment

Byrd wont fight him, and even worse go to Germany for it.
Brewset might but i doubt he would go to Germany after what happened in his last fight (the real slow 10 count they gave his opponent)Comment
