What next for Wlad?

[prideofvbeach]

By that, I mean the HW division getting it's mess together.

Wlad wants to be unified Champ.

Wlad should force Vitali to retire after one more fight.

So Vitali should make 1 more fight, nothing else.

I have a feeling nobody forces Vitali to do anything.

Hopefully he gets injured severely in training and never gets to bore us with another prizefight ever again. One can only dream.

Perhaps they could fight over the issue?

Why, so Haye doesn't have to face him? I'm sure Haye agrees.
If you don't like his fights and they bore you then just don't watch.

Believe me, if i where Wlad, i would force him to retire.

I would not accept the behavior of Vitali, maybe Wlad loves his brother a little bit too much.

I don't, that's the point. What ****ing good is a heavyweight champ if no one wants to see the ****er fight?

And who would replace him?
Povetkin? With him it doesn't matter if you don't want to see the guy fight, because he never does.
Haye? Maybe the boxing fairy grants him some cojones if Wlad isn't there anymore, or whe gonna see him potshot against some B or C level fighter once or twice a year.
Solis? Rolling around the ring at 300+ lbs next year, maybe he is exiting?

Tell me... who would replace the guy?

Yes.

Vitali retired in 2005 because he could not continue fighting and becomes Emeritus Champion. In 2005 Vitali said he is not able to continue boxing and know at this age he is able to make so many fights?

The fight against Rahman (mandatory in 2005) was postponed 6 times because of injuries.

Wlad fights his way back to the top with the help of Emanuel Steward and Wlad is on the Top and Vitali comes back. And now Vitali fights Arreola, he wants Haye and so on.

This is IMO not a good move.

Okay he fulfil the dream of the brothers but know it is time to let Wlad fulfil his dream to become unify Champion.

Oh hell.. now you've depressed me. I almost forgot how shit the divisions really is. Go to plan B then... drop an Atom Bomb on the entire heavyweight division and start anew. It's the only logical solution I see to this mess.

..I thought their dream was to have all the major titles between the two of them? In which case, they didn't do it yet. I figured that was really the only reason he was hanging around.

I do not think this is Wlads dream.

This was years ago.

And Vitali retired in 2005 and Wlad was not happy with the comeback. He did not want it, he says this in a german TV show.
