that's a fighting champion right there.

I'll lose some major respect for big vit if he just sits on his title and makes all the young guys wait. thats not cool at all. he needs to get out now. hes clearly past it and has nothing to gain

Strip the belt, then Wladimir would eventually get it to finally become undisputed.

If wlad does get the WBC, would he be the first ever fighter to hold THAT many belts at all one time? I mean he would have


(after he beats povetkin) = WBA (regular), WBA (super), WBO, WBC, IBF, IBO, The Ring.... am i forgetting anything else? does he have like diamond and emeritus belts too.

He doesn't have anything now.... Froch/Kessler fought for it in May.

Isn't he the WBA Super Champion?

[Jam Jars]

Over 2 years without a mandatory defence.

Yea, and then I think there's a fight next week for the interim belt that'll most likely be upgraded to full

Not happening. Even if Wladimir managed to fight whoever held the belt, Sulaiman would just strip him immediately since he doesn't like unifying anymore - kinda like the bully kid who never shares his toys with anyone.

Then again, Alvarez still holds WBA/WBC... but he's Sulaiman's boy.

Still sucks though. Vitali should be stripped because the WBC would strip anybody else who didn't meet their criteria of fighting once every 6 months.
Of course since Vitali is the big money maker.....

Not to mention, Vitali is in great standing with El Presidente.

I thought you all knew this. Vitali treads with the WBC diplomatically and always gets what he wants out of them.

That being said, I'm one of Vitali's biggest fans but I still think it's a big gamble to keep fighting once a year at the age of 42 and beyond.

A loss now won't matter much but it will sort of end his claim to being sort of invincible seeing as how he's never been knocked down or out in boxing.

I would rather him retire before he loses without an injury inducing it.

[Jack Napier]

fuck it, time to go
would hate to see him so rusty and worn he loses to Stiverne
Wlad's got it under control, he'll rep the Klit name on his own
Vit should just retire already, no point hanging around
he doesn't gain much from beating Stiverne anyway

[TGD]

If he has anything about him he will vacate that title.
