    He asked for proof that Boytsov would have been given a title shot:

    The sources clearly indicate Boytsov would have become WBO mandatory and been given a title shot had he won.

    Wtf does that even mean? You are beyond ******ed Peter.

    Last title fight I went to was Cleverly-Kovalev, next one I'm planning to attend will be Golovkin in Feb. Unlike you, I support fighters regardless of their nationality or ethnicity.

    When was the last time you did anything positive to actually support the sport beyond racking up hundreds of thousands of posts on forums spewing the same, race-centred rhetoric?

    You REALLY need to ask YOURSELF that question.

    All you ever do is discredit/bash/ridicule fighters based on their race and insult and get into flame wars with their fans.

    Most of what I post is either to provide information, or to promote discussions about upcoming fights. Some of my posting is for the purpose of defending boxers against the double standards and ridicule/discrediting/bashing of racists and nationalists like yourself.

    If you hate Alex Leapai because he's Samoan, why not just stay out of this thread? Why come in here and bash him? He's a better man than you are.

    He doesnt have to fight him because paper titles are meaningless. He'll choose to because its an easy defense. The guy is undeserving. He beat another guy who should have been fighting in an eliminator either. This is exactly why this is the worst era in heavyweight history. Wlad should drop that phony belt and focus on fighting the best fighters instead of entertaining all these no hope, untalented tomato cans.

    Will Wlad say "Alex Leapai is like prime Mike Tyson"?

    I hope this isnt the case, how bout Ustinov vs Leapai to trim the WBO fat this way if he has to fight a bum one of them is taken from the equation so he doesnt have to fight the other later

    if Leapai truly deserves it he would certainly be able to beat a guy like Ustinov

    I agree that Alex Leapai isn't much of a threat to Klitschko, but he has to fight him. It wouldn't be nice to see someone saying calling him scared because he refused to fight Leapai and vacated a belt, right?

    After all, he just defeated his biggest threat, while his second biggest threat is his IBF mandatory.

    the **** is a fake mandatory? They're real enough for Wlad to get stripped if he doesn't fight them, that's really all that matters. :lol:

    The WBO haven't actually mandated the fight yet. I'll use my crystal ball and tell you what will happen though. With Sauerland haven't set up the original Boytsov vs "the soft touch" Leapia fight and the WBO more than happy to see Boytsov fight for the WBO title prior to his defeat we will now see Sauerland's Helenius fight Leapia for the mandatory WBO spot. Leapia probably already signed a contract to this affect already in case he won.

    I will bump this post a few months down the line.

    Hopefully he does give Leapai a shot, he deserves it more than those artificially built-up German fighters.
