    the story after the win over Byrd doesn't really matter.
    I'm sure that them achieving their dreams of both being world champions in boxing at the same time will be good enough.

    Wlad doesn't need to restore his legacy if he beats Byrd, he will be champion with his brother, so at that point, I don't think his main concern will be to satisfy the boxing public.

          It looks like Byrd doesn't want to fight Wlad again for obvious reason. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal apparently said: "Byrd's attorney, John Hornewer, said he has been trying to contact King for weeks, hoping to set up a Byrd-Toney match, but King hasn't called back."

            Of course not, why would he risk everything he has accomplished. This made no sense when I heard it. This is King talking ***** because he probably has Wlad and Vitali signed to contracts. Look no further than the response that reporter got from Byrd when confronted. Maybe Don King is looking to **** his old fighters and push them towards the back of the line while he gives all his attention to the boxers he knows wiil make him more money like the Klits, Golota and Rahman.

              There are two things that are obvious here:
              1. King wants Byrd to fight Wladimir and most likely Wladimir to replace Byrd in his "stable"
              2. Byrd, knowing that Wladimir will kick his ass just like the last time, has no intention to fight him at all. Those who doubt that, klick on the link below.

              The interesting question now is, just how powerfull is Don King? Can he make Byrd fight someone he KNOWS he cannot beat? It'll be interesting to see this game unfold.

                If Byrd knows nothing about this then it won't happen. Don King cannot force Byrd to do anything because Wlad is not the IBF mandatory challenger. Fans and boxing sites are talking about this like it's a done deal but Byrd has not agreed to this nor did he have any knowledge of this until a reporter approached him a couple of days ago with this story. I guarantee you Byrd will not risk everything to fight Wlad.

                  Whatever I said earlier, if I said anything earlier, you can disregard Byrd is going to lose every round. The only way for Byrd to win is to go for the knockout..

                      Actually, I would kind of want to see that fight more, considering we all know what the result of a W.Klitschko/Byrd fight would be. Plus they seem like they have a little bad blood, I'd like to see them go at it in the ring..
