I really don't wanna see Solis in the ring again. Not unless he has a number of tune-ups and proves he's serious about professional boxing. Same with Haye really. Let him fight a tune-up.
I would not mind that loud-mouth caveman getting a pasting. I feal Cunningham has delined too much to do it now and they will avoid Lebedev like the plague. Huck would work Vitali up as much as Haye without having the skills to compete. Vitali would go on with a systematic, slow beatdown so that Huck will not have much of a career left afterwards.
I like Siverne but Vitali Jab would dissect him , Austin Jab was troubling Bermane so imagine Vit jabs!
I miss the days when champs fought every few months. If Vitali fights again in November and if my math is correct, that would equal nine fights in just over three years, which would make him more active than Wladimir, who's 5 years younger. That's incredible.
Byrd as in Chris Byrd? He's still fighting? Last I heard of him he was getting his ass KTFO'ed at LHW or something.
Yes, but WBC allows 12 months between mandatory defenses so he does not have to fight Stiverne for another year.
I do admire the activity, but honestly Haye and a Solis rematch both sound like wastes of time to me. Neither has any real chance. Few in the division do, but there are those who haven't yet blown chances against one brother or the other. Both of them already have.
I'd be surprised if Vitali fought in November after just fighting, that would be 2 fights in less than two months, nice but I'm not banking on it. There's almost no way it would be Haye if Vitali does fight in Nov. Thats still a huge fight and would probably get more promoting than November would allow. It would be nice to see Haye beat someone decent before getting another shot, but if he wants a shot, he probably doesn't have to. If Vitali does fight in Nov. than its most likely someone like Dimitrenko, Chagaev, Liakovich, etc. Would be great if it were Povetkin or maybe even Helenius but those aren't happening then. I think Wlad fights again this year and Vitali early next but I'd love to be wrong and see both of them fight again this year.
Vitali could clear out his next mandatory(Stiverne) easily this November. I think it would be a smart move for him.
Getting Stieverne out of the way is a smart move. I'm not sure when that fights due, if has a year to do it than he doesn't have to rush into a Stieverne fight but then again November is quick for another fight and Stiverne doesn't require the promoting that someone like Haye, Povetkin, or Helenius would so, for several reasons, Stieverne is a solid option.
