    According to Dan Rafael

    ESPN is really in talks with Klitschko? Cause that would be AWESOME!!!!!
    Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (1:01 PM)

    Yes, the network really is. Whether they make a deal I am not sure. I hope ESPN does.
    It would only be awesome if his first fight was a KO loss to Tyson Fury.

      I am cool with watching him on ESPN as long as Showtime and HBO don't waste their money on him.

        For years he has bashed wlad klitchko as boring, but now is bosses what to land a wlad fight on espn and he is like "awesome"

          Most dominant fighters are called boring or awkward so its not really hypocrisy for him to rank them high and whine about them at the same time.

          There was a time when being a crowd pleaser meant lots of $$$ but nowadays the richest most successful guys are the ones who focus on winning no matter what it looks like.

          Personally I don't like Dan Rafael because he is a fatass and I have never trusted those...
          Nobody calls Vitali boring. I think youre confused.

            He waffles in the wind,,, yes sometimes he hypes them and they can do no wrong, but he has also been a total hater in the past..

            More recently he has hated on the opponents like haye, but in the past he has been critical of them.. I don't think he was with espn at the time but when wlad was getting ko'd and fight Williamson, he was very critical..

            Maybe I should have worded my original post better.. He does ride their **** a lot, but in the past he has bashed him,,, He just goes with whatever is trendy at the time.. Has done the same stuff with Hopkins over the years..

            I just don't like dan, especially since he doesn't know **** about the sport and never watched it till he got assigned to cover a local show...

              Not a good idea. Will make people who watch boxing regularly watch it even less.

                Dan rafael is a jackass. He likes his fans to kiss his ass. If u have a difference of opinion from him he considers you a "idot" and bans you from his chat room. Doug Fischer Is better

                    If I'm espn and I have the chance to show wlad fight or a fight like roman gonzalez v Yasegashi (sp) I would show the little guys. Much less exspensive and much better TV fight.
