    The reality is, all our posts are just opinionated based and there will always be somebody on the opposite side of the spectrum.

    But here are some facts that are real and will exist throughout boxing history whether you like it or not:

    Olympic Super-Heavyweight gold medal, Amateur record of 134 wins (65 inside the distance) and 6 losses.

    Beaten 8 future or past heavyweight belt holder. (Byrd2x, Mercer, Peter2x, Brewster, Ibragimov, Rhaman, Chagaev, Haye.)

    Fought 4 of the only 5 southpaw heavyweight champions in history.

    Has held the IBF, WBO and IBO Heavyweight Championships longer than any other fighter in history, and he has defended those titles more than any other fighter. Overall, he is the second longest-reigning heavyweight champion of all-time. Only Joe Louis has had a longer title reign. Has made 14 consecutive title defenses. Only Joe Louis and Larry Holmes have made more.

    Klitschko (21-2) is tied for 3rd most heavyweight title fights won at 21 with Larry Holmes (21-5). Muhammad Ali (24-3) won 24 title fights and Joe Louis (26-1) stands at number 1 with 26 title fights won in the division.

    Ranked P4P # 4 by Ring Mag, highest for a Heavyweight since 1998 #3 Holyfield. Been on the list for over 3yrs

    Been ranked in Rings annual top 10 heavyweight for 12 of last 13yrs. 5yr's ranked#1, and 4yrs as Champion
    And his career isn't over yet.

    Was just pointing out that Chambers at that time had some accomplishments, and was rated #4 by Ring when it took place, as well as being rated in basically every bodies top 10 at Heavy. Felt I needed to , after the horrendous showing in his last fight.

    I forgot that Chisora picked Wladimir as his voluntary and not the opposite way around, yup that's a duck. Especially when you consider Wladimir went straight into a unification fight vs. #2 Haye, a fight that the entire planet wanted more then the Chisora fight. **** when the Chisora fight was announced you probably said Wlad was ducking Haye, cause he was to black and slick. Anyway Wlad beat haye clear as day, and Haye obliterated Chisora. End story

    Wlad shamelessly ducked Chisora one day before they were due to fight. That is an undeniable fact.

    I suspect the date is just an available one from RTL nothing more. If Wlad took Povetkin out early maybe it would be possible. The thing with RTL though is that they have caused Wlad to have fewer fights than he would probably like due to available dates. Once the original Mormeck fight was cancelled for instance they had to wait about 3 or 4 months to reschedule it. If Vitali retires it should make it easier for Wlad with that contract though, as it's based on dates for either brother.

    Did I say Haye deserved the rematch????

    All I said was that Haye and Fury are both top 5 WBO, and seeing how they are fighting each other, the winner should be elevated to #1 with a mandate.

    Haye will not be able to beat Fury by potshotting like he did vs Valuev. He'll be forced to engage in a fight, and should he beat Fury, Haye will have EARNED the rematch.

    It's faaaaaaarrr more than Boystov has done.

    Although, IMO, Helenius should not have been removed from the top spot in the WBO unless he is refusing to fight the likes of another top 5 in that org.:think

    I imagine Wladimir will have a voluntary on Dec 14th and then fight Pulev in 2014.

    How is he able to chose to side step his mando to pad his record again with another cherry picked bum....Its his duty as champ to fight the best , not the worst..Thats why he aint no real champ, just like his brother Dr.Duck.

    As I said before, Bryant Jennings will fight Wlad in December ;)

    The fight with Pulev will take another few months to make, considering purse bids and Sauerland's rivalry with K-2. Voluntary in December, then Pulev in March. Then somebody else in the fall of 2014, maybe a WBO mandatory.

    Byrant Jennings would be perfect for December, but it would be better if Bryant first had a stay-busy fight in September. Odlanier Solis would be another good choice.
