    Alex Leapai will come to fight, not to run like David Haye.

    Leapai is a tough dude and a strong puncher. By beating Boytsov, he's EARNED his title shot.

    Typical Dr. Grabimir fan, condoning this.

    Alex Leapai will be another hug victim, Dr Grabimir is closing in on Aleksandr Karelin. :lol:

    Exactly who did Boytsov beat to "earn" his spot in the first place? This is a joke.

    Also leapai certainly did well against boytsov but he has been down several times already! Kevin johnson who is not a puncher had him down

    OMG this is terrible. I am sorry to say this about Lepai - he's proabably a nice guy and I wish him well - but Christ he doesn't deserve a shot at the HW title, lineal and all. This is a disgrace.

    It doesn't matter if he comes to fight. Wlad is coming to hug and jump all over his back.

    This is the perfect type of guy for Wlad to win another defence while avoiding a fight.

    Leapai was getting his ears boxed off by a journeyman. Wlad may hold the belts , but he ain't no champion.

    Boystov was promised a fight without beating anybody but he lost to the fall guy so they will just give it to Leapai instead.

    Neither of then EARNED anything.

    I'd sooner see Wladimir fight Pulev first, but the WBO has decided Wladimir must fight Leapai immediately (he's the first WBO mandatory since Chambers in 2010).

    I agree they shouldn't have had Boytsov ranked so high.

    But what are Wladimir's options? Do you think he should vacate the WBO belt so they can install a "paper" champion?
