he doesn't need King. If he somehow wins the wbo title, everyone else will be chasing him to get a piece of that chin.

unmarketable guys like Byrd and Ruiz need King, The Brothers do not.

He should...yes. Perhaps must. But would the clever (to say the least) Don King sign him?

Actually he just has to beat Whitaker then he gets a rematch with Brewster.

I think if Wladimir did sign with this evil person, Wladimir would have an easier time ruling the Heavyweights for sure. He would get all of the special privileges, getting title shots whenever he wants, and he would get help from the judges and referees all the time. I think Vladimir would become like Darth Vader.

Waldimir and Vitali wont sign with anyone because they have their own promoting thing with K2.

And they certainly wont sue Universum Boxing just to get into the hands of another corrupt son of a *****.

When has Wladimir ever been knocked out?

That's just it he hasn't. Unlike Roidless Jones, Wlad gets up after he is knocked down.

Well, he's been TKOed twice in his last three outings. And he was down again in his last one even if it was just a balance shot. And unlike Roy Joney he's never dominated a devision nor been thrown in the mix as the best fighter of his time. And there's a little age and weight difference as well. Plus Williamson is not quite like a bigger Tarver or Johnson.

If you don't know anything else to strengthen your point this comparison certainly wont help you. Wladimir showed bad form in his last three fights, I don't feel like hes completly shot either but you have to look at it a bit more objective. If he doesn't do anything convincing in his next fights he'll be gone. And rightly so.

Wlad should sign with Don King...
