Promoters are too slow to make meaningful heavyweight fights

Any idea when Fury/USS tickets are on sale?

what is so funny. Feb 7th, Steve says "we havent seen a contract yet"

 

There's also talks of a Ortiz-Chagaev interim title bout. But it doesn't look like that will happen until Haye/Klitschko/Povetkin get their plans squared away. I still suspect that if Haye can't get the Vitali fight he'll try to get the WBA Regular title. That would put Haye in ideal position to take a few fights on his own terms and then have mandatory status to challenge Wladimir.

 

Most guys seem too willing to take the easy road at heavyweight by stringing a bunch of soft wins and waiting their turn at the cash register

 

Build up a padded resume and hope to earn a fat check before the glass gets shattered, ever the way.

 

Heavyweights are too slow to promote meaningful fights for.

 

ortiz would have fought ruslan and it would have been a good fight. he needs to step up as the other contenders

 

This is the only reason why Klitschko can make these voluntaries everyone fusses about. The best guys aren't getting ushered into mandatory positions at all. Because the fights aren't happening fast enough. Yeah, Pulev/Adamek should have been made immediately following Adamek's lo-er-the fight with Cunningham, no matter how you view the decision. They started it with a good eliminator of Adamek/Solis and Pulev/Ustinov, though Pulev got the easy one for the first part. That was how long ago? Then Chambers/Thompson was a good eliminator, and the favourite ended up out of it. :-(

 

This, almost always.

It amazes me how good fighters get constantly crapped on around here, for who they fight or don' fight. The only fighters who actually have a say in opponent choice are the champs: K2, Floyd & Pac, etc.
