They Might Fight Each Other

Awesome. It be cool to see the bro's both hold titles. Then, maybe they'll fight each other some day.

How did Rahman get a title shot?
How did Toney get a title shot?
How did Golota get a title shot?

The same way Wlad got a title shot.

actually there is a difference. aside from Golota, the others won fights. Golota and Wlad get title shots by losing.

I think Don King is getting rights to both brothers. Don King will own both Klitschko's rights very soon. Just think about this,Byrd does not have to fight Wladimir because Wlad is not Byrd's mandatory. Byrd can very easily fight some other scrub boxer as a warm-up to a mandatory match in the fall with whoever is ranked at the time. I don't understand why Byrd is willing to risk everything in fighting Wlad again, unless King has rights to Wlad already and he is forcing Byrd to fight him. Also if King did not have rights to Wladimir there would be no reason to match Byrd against Wlad because King would be running a huge risk of losing the IBF belt from his stable of fighters. Without a doubt King must have rights to Wladimir now.

...Wlad won his last fight.

I have to say that Wlad schooled Byrd last time and I have no reason to thinkj that his confidence is thatshot not to put on the same, if not more, clinic this time. WK by UD or late TKO

thats what we thought when Wlad fought T.O.S and got his ass beat.

How do you figure?

..And still IBF champion of the world

Just found out that Wlad's next fight will be against Chris Byrd on April 30.
Source is Baltimore Sun.

First of all, I think Wlad does not deserve a title shot. At least not yet. He needs some tuneup fights before he goes for this. He also has unfinished business with Lamon Brewster, TOS, and Sanders (not nec. in that order). If this happens, I can foresee Wlad dominating the entire fight with Chris Byrd getting a decision in the end. You never know.

I could have sworn Wlad beat TOS.
