Rahman seeks normal split!

[Bozo_no no]

This guy gets it.

No, he doesn't, and neither do you.

The fact that you two don't like Toney, or don't like that he's getting this shot is irrelevent.

Toney IS a top 5 Heavyweight. To suggest otherwise makes you biased or ignorant.

Maskeav is NOT a top 5 Heavyweight.

[badblood]

You're missing the point.

None of what the four sanctioning bodies do or don't do within their rankings matters. It's not revelent.

For the first time in ages it's clear who the top fighters are.

They need to fight eachother, and there needs to be unification.

Allowing any one of the 4 sanctioning bodies to slip a useless fighter like Maskaev in and waste another 6th months is bad for the fans, and bad for the divsion.

They dont want to fight each other!! And Toney is not allowed to fight for the WBA and i dont see Rahman rushing out to sign any unification bouts.

How many times have I posted saying this is'nt about hating anyone other than the WBC?

King has them all under contract with the exception of Toney and Wlad. Toney has and will work with King as a co promoter, and Wlad will do so in his next fight.

He's announced his intention to run a unification tournament, and unification fights are the only thing that's going to bring these guys money.

They all want to grab the opportunity to be considered "the" champion.

Again, all your agenda is is to promote a ****ty and undeserving fighter in Maskaev.

He's out of the picture, rightfully so, and you need to suck it up and accept it.

Probabaly around the same amout of times I've told you that speaking about the WBC or any other sanctioning body like what they decide within their own corrupt rankings is a joke.

How many times have you seen sanctioning bodies threaten to strip fighters of their belts if they try to fight another champion?? Many times will and should be your answere. Sanctioning bodies could care less about unifications, they are supposed to be looking out for their ranked fighters. If a unification fight was to be signed, it would have been done already. Ruiz is fighting Valuev, Brewster and Byrd are tied up with Wlad. If a unification bout was to take place, King would wait to see who Wlad picks to fight. As you can see the WBC is in a hurry to have Rahman fight, Maskaev has already fought in their mandatory so why pass him over? Toney holds some meaningless title called the IBA. Is King hopeing to unify those 2 titles?

The plans are for the unification fights to happen begining in the summer of 2006.

At that time, those that hold titles will be:

Toney Rahman winner

Ruiz Valuev Winner

Byrd, Brewster, and Wlad, minus whoever loses a fight between the two of the three of them.

That leaves 4 fighters with belts, all who've been envolved with King Co Promotions in previous fights.

The money and prestige is in those unification fights, it's what the fans want, and it's whats best for the division.

All you can do is whine about the very bull **** that's been the problem all along, and try to twist your logic into why Maskaev should have got a fight he didn't deserve.

He's not getting the shot, that's a good thing, and you need to accept this and move on.

Oleg Maskaev is coming to my gym in a week or 2, he will stay for 2-3 weeks.

If Valuev wins, expect no unification. If Wlad wins any kind of title, expect no unification. This is your hopes of a unification tourny, you speak of fantasy.

[Bozo_no no]

So Wlad will fight with King as a co promotor in his next fight, but not in the ensuing fights with more titles on the line and for more money?

That sure makes a lot of sense.


Face it, all you're doing is whining about an undeserving fighter not getting something he didn't deserve.

Now a better and more important match up is taking place.

You just keep continuing to illustrate how you don't care about what happens in the Heavyweight division being what's best for the fans and the overall legitimacy.
