Wladimir Klitschko vs. Chris Byrd II

[!!Captain]

...it's sounding like Wlad signed w/da devil to get a match and DK knows WK would be a cash cow.

Very sad but true. I don't know how Wladimir would sign with DK though, he represents himself with Klichko brothers' promotional company K2.

sorry, but Byrd would own Wladimir now

Wladimir has been listening to too much red hot chili peppers..i think the fight is pretty much out of him. time to be towel boy for vitali, wladdy.

really ironic too because when I saw Wlad fight Larry Donald a few years ago, and then looked at a few of Vitalis fights, I clearly figured Wlad was the better of the two.(i was wrong)

[The Fix]

byrd woud ware him down and win by close ud or mid round stoppage. i think younger klit is finished and should carry his brothers belt around before v klit losses the belt to rahman. a rahman vs ruiz 2 could set up a byrd-rahman fight for the undisputed world title.

wladimir would kayo byrd this time, byrd is going to lose his next fight regardless of who it is, byrd cant hurt wlad, byrd gets kayoed in 4

Wlad never fough Larry Donald it was Vitali! And I can't believe I agree with Sweeny but he's right. Byrd gets hit way too often now and has absolutley no power! Wlad KHTFO! However, Wlad would probably get beat in his first defence.

[MetalVomit]

WK by UD or late KO. However, first guy w/ popwer WK would fight in a defence he probably get starched, but hey! At least they'll achieve they're dream (the K bros) for a short time. I'll believe this when I see an official annoucement, but it's sounding like Wlad signed w/da devil to get a match and DK knows WK would be a cash cow.

If Wlad signed with DK, maybe his next opponent will end up with too much vaseline on his legs

my bad -I confused Larry Donald with Charles Shufford.

Wlad wins this one easily, he has by far the faster hands and the harder punches of the two, when he comes to fight. Byrd doesn't have the strength or power to wear Wlad down, it would be like the Williamson fight, minus the headbutt and the "knockdown", and Wlad would either knock him out/TKO, or just embarass him like last time. Wlad has nothing to be afraid of against Byrd, and when he knows that coming into a fight, he's a very dangerous man.

so true...........

[PBDS]

And considering that the number 1 spot in the IBF is not ranked, its really more like he's 5th. And I thought it was idiotic for Vitali to fight Rahman and thus risking to let King have all four belts, but if it meant that Wlad would get a shot, then it would make a lot more sense to have Vitali/Rahman.

....That's big V throwing his weight around quite nicely if that is what is happening here. God I would love that.
