Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Returns in March, Boytsov Possible

[BostonGuy]

Don't want to see Boytsov get a title shot. It sends the wrong message to other fighters in the division. Boytsov has been inactive, avoided a fight with a top contender (in Tyson Fury) and hasn't beat any highly ranked opponents. So why give this guy a title shot? If he can take the easy route to a title shot then other fighters (and their handlers) will want to go that route too.

If anyone deserves a title shot, it's Kubrat Pulev. In only 17 pro fights this guy has mostly fought tough opposition and has signature wins over ranked contenders Ustinov, Dimitrenko and Travis Walker.

Pulev said he wants another few fights before Wlad, he's very focused and wants to get himself truly ready.

Wlad will never fight pulev.

I realize that there is no one else for the brothers to fight but they are doing a disservice to boxing by fighting these undefeated fighters before they have fought anybody. It doesnt prove anything by beating fighters before they have gotten proper ring time and experience. AGAIN, i understand that they have no other choice, its just not good for the new crop of heavys. btw i dont really see anyone out there that can beat either k bro.

Wasn't it Atlas who pulled Povetkin from fighting Wlad. If he fights Wlad next year, he's not really a coward.

Povetkin's management and his trainer Kostya Tszyu say they are ready to fight Wlad in early 2013.

There may be a conflict with the TV deals (RTL and ARD).

Wladimir K. should call Haye Out!

Dear Reader,

WK should call David Haye out and silence him once and for all. Vitali
K. is too busy with Ukrainian politics.

How long is Povetkin going to avoid the K's? He barely beat a blown up cruiserweight like Huck. The way Wlad looked against Wach, there is no one at hvwt who can beat him. Sure it could have just been the opposition but if not and Wlad has become a machine of destruction again since Steward has passed, beware hvwts lol.

Wlad is on his shit right now. Step up, Povetkin!!

[FrankieBruno]

What threat could Boytsov pose?

He's short, he'll simply get hit with the jab until he falls victim to a right cross

Secondly his record is not impressive, full of bums

I think Wlad should only fight people over 6'3

Lol, You know Ali was not over 6'3 right? Your not implying Wlad would not be competitive in a fight against a prime Ali are you? Height is not that relevant, he needs a challenger with comparable talent.
