Comments Thread For: V. Klitschko Steps Back, Now WBC Champion Emeritus

[KO'er]

Everyone's gonna go for Wlad now. How would Fury, Stiverne, Arreola, and Wilder do against him?

Hopefully one of them will put him flat on his back.

Poor Dan Rafael would almost top himself.

Fury knocks Grabimir into next week!

Fury didn't duck pulev. He got a way bigger fight with haye cancelled twice. That is why he didn't take the pulev fight. He wasn't even going to get 500000 fighting pulev. He was set to make 5 million pounds + PPV money. His team was angry & pointed out the pulev fight & ranking they gave up to fight haye. No duck just a better payday but it didnt work out due to haye's injury...

Feels like a duck to me,one minute Fury was telling his fans he's one fight away from a mandatory shot,then next he's lining up another blown up cruiser,without a belt.dont matter how you dress it up,he refused to face Pulev after having kept him on ice for 5 months.

Yea, if you really think this you're delusional.

Let's put things clear here.

Vitali Klitschko was refused the right to become a candidate to the presidential election. The only Thing he is looking for in these protests is to put pressure on Yanukovich so that he can : 1- make his popularity grow amongst the pro-eu
2- have the right to become a candidate

If he Fails in this fight, and I believe he will, you may see him coming back to the ring in 2014.

Vitali Klitschko is a semi-retired boxer and an active politician.

I will miss him a lot if he doesn't come back, and I must admit that I am quite frustrated with this decision, his right place is on a boxing ring. But we must respect this decision.

Vitali Klitschko remains a tremendous boxer, but an extremely weak politician though...

Wladimir Klitschko said that Fury refused to fight him in 2013 because he "wasn't ready".

Stiverne should def get to fight for the vacant belt,, he earned it and has waited for it..

I feel stiverne should fight aerrolo in a rematch for the belt,, their first fight was entertaining and would like to see how it looked if aerrola didnt get his nose smashed so early in the fight...

If not aerrola, then fury, pulev, and adamek are all logical choices...

Wilder has not done enough to earn a shot, he needs to beat some top 20 guys to even think about a title shot

wilder-mansour would be a decent scrap IMO

[mrlopez]

Why?
Stiverne has been waiting for a while. wasn't his eliminator against Ray Austin?
Or was it against Arreola. Anyway... he would've waited a year by then.

They can duke it out for the right to fight Stiverene later

I agree, although Bermane Stiverne is getting kind of short changed here cause he did beat Arreola for the eliminator didn't he?

Either way they need to set something up.

Stiverne beat arreola for the right to fight V.Klit...

My point is really that for such a lackluster hw division, those 8 fighters matched up against each other offer some exciting fights! Im sure others would agree...unfortunately, it wont happen

He's done dazed. It is ova!

Glad to see you back BTW. Hope you are doing great.

Thank you - glad to be back. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season, my good man.

Every live opponent got knocked out.the ones who turned up to survive went home with their tails between their legs.

Not many were good, my friend.
