    They've been mad for damn near 10 years. Think about that, 10 years of getting up mad. Every Birthday and holiday is a disappointment because TKO6 stands eternal.

    It's funny that any time a fighter beats one of the K brothers, the other brother has to come in and fight them instead of a rematch, and somehow that is their "redemption" :lol:

    I guess you are right:

    Ross Purrity and Corrie sanders beat Wladimir and instead of Wald rematching them, his big brother steps in to fight them instead.

    Vitali loses to Chris Byrd...... Wladimir steps in and beats him instead of Vitali rematching him :lol:

    I'm surprised that big brother Vitali didn't have to step in and fight Lamon Brewster after he stopped Wlad.

    Yeah, what the hell happened there (w/Brewster)?

    Was that during the time Vit was ducking hard hitting Rahman?

    Probably. Notice how long it took for Wlad to take the rematch with Brewster as well.

    You're being a ***** about it with Vitali Klitschko

    He ****ing dominated all of Wlad's losses and the fact is that he was absolutely wiping the floor on Byrd until an unlucky injury.

    None of Vitali's resume is dedicated upon what Wladimir did

    Wiping the floor with Byrd? The rounds were close with Vitty winning the majority. But he was also being backed up and missed more punches than in any fight before or since. If it was such a blowout than why was the German crowd cheering Byrd? If it was so close why didn't he keep his promise to his fans? Face it, Vittles ducked a rematch with Byrd because he made him look foolish.

    I do not saw Vitali´s domintion. Vitali´s punches where missing a lot and Byrd becomes stronger than Vitali quit because of injury.

    Byrd won the fight legal TKO win. This win is underrated. Byrd was a very good defensive boxer and Vitali could not handle it.

    Because Wlad did not want it.

    Wlad wants the remacht againt Puritty and Sanders but Kohl, the old promoter said "no" and big bro did not support Wladimir.

    2004 changed alot for Wlad. With the help from Emanuel Steward Wlad was able to won through Vitali and therefore he fought Lamon Brewster and David Haye. It was difficult for Wlad because IMO Vitali is an egoistic person who does not help Wlad when he need real help. In 2004 only Steward helped him and now Wlad is on top.

    Why Vitali does not rematch Byrd IMO it was his own choice. Byrd wants the rematch in 2004 but Vitali choose Danny Williams. At this time Vitali could have choosen Byrd for a unification fight if he want to do this.

    Vits WAS winning, I would never dispute that. But the rounds were close and he was tiring even before the injury. I firmly believe he never sought the rematch because it was just a bad styles match up for him and Byrd would have been an even tougher fight with time to prepare. That of course is only my opinion.

    I agree its an underrated win for Byrd. To have no power, give up that much size and hang in there, win or lose, was impressive in itself.

    Id have to find it again, but I read an interview with Sanders where he said he was surprised Wlad never sought a rematch. For what it worth I think Wlad would have beat him the second go round, even without Steward.

    Wlad wants to fight Sanders, he said it after the fight and in following interiews.

    The old promoter Kohl forced Sanders to fight the WBO mandatory and Sanders dropped the belt.

    But it was obvious that Wlad wants to change his training and his team. He hired Freddy Roach but Vitali and Sdunek does not want it.

    In 2004 Wlad had enough and changed and with Emanuel Steward he learned very very much.

    LOL, a fight where one fighter won 9 out of 10 rounds is "close"? :patsch Not only that, but Vitali did the entire fight with a terrible arm injury. The fact is that Vitali was dealing with only using 1 arm and having the worst pain in his life yet still takes 9/10 rounds against Byrd.

    Vitali connected on Byrd in the 1st 2 rounds easily and it was after his injury he couldn't hit him as well which was clearly evident. Yet, Vitali still won the majority of the rounds even when he was injured.

    No, Byrd didn't make Vitali look foolish. Byrd looked terrible. Any decent HW could have actually disposed of a 1 armed Vitali with terrible pain that night. Instead, Byrd manages to lose most of the rounds. Then, he ducks the rematch with Vitali to get destroyed by Wlad.
