    LOL The video is shown in the K2 documentary "Klitschko". The brothers were invited by Don King to his mansion in Florida, he tried to get them to sign a promotional contract. K2 weren't interested, they never signed.

    Just google it man and lots of links and allegations will come up as connetions to mafia. His father was Russian captain in Russian army and connected to ex KGB. MAFIA in Ukrain and Russia is now separated as anti-Putin and pro-Putin. But that is all rumours and no solid evidences. Otherwise , they can get sued if solid evidences are there.

    I don't think so. Both Pulev and Wlad like to fight from the outside. Pulev's inside game is as limited as Wlad's. I think hugging will be minimal.

    7:30 in the video, Vitali mentioned this in the documentary. It's King pretending to play the piano, and Vitali walks over and notices that King isn't really playing. :lol:
    This is what, according to Vitali, kept him from signing with King...because he knew at that point he was all show, a fraud.

    The resume is impressive - Skelton in 4, Guinn, Vidoz, Rossy in 5, Walker, Sprott in 9, Dimitrenko in 11, Ustinov in 11, Thompson, Perkovich in 3. I don't know, he's 20-0-0 (11 KOs) big guy 6'4 1/2'', 33 years of age,not a kid anymore.

    It reminds me the days Larry used to rule and was giving chances to everyone but when he was about to get near to that Marciano record, he started facing bums like the son of Smokin Joe R.I.P. and Scott Walker and somebody had to demand him to fight Carl Williams which almost resulted in disaster. Nobody would have thought or think that a light heavy 20 pounds lighter would at the last moment make Larry pay for his infamous rant at Marciano. But this is all to say that it wasn't Williams or Spinks that Larry clearly avoided but the man who beat Tim W'spoon for the WBC HWT Championship Pinklon Thomas and who would lose the title to Trevor Berbick.

    Buster Douglas was a very laid back 6ft3 1/2in or 6ft4in tal heavyweight- We all knew he had a lot of dynamics if he put his mind to it but he was so lazy on defense, even when he won comfortably against the Atomic Bull of Chicago Illinois, Oliver McCall or former World Champ Greg Page, nobody favoured him to win against Tony Tucker the night Tyson defended his WBC title against Pinklon Thomas and after a more or less even fight, in the 10th Buster just leaned back to the ropes and ate so many meaty right hands and uppercuts with no intentions of defending or fighting back and so Mills Lane called it off. Many years later, in 1990, there was something in the air that said or could be traslated that Tyson was on the taking and Buster was to collect in Tokyo.

    Maybe Wladimir senses something about this Bulgarian fella. Hard to tell. There r no indications that he clearly ducked him thus far.

    Vlad has zero reason to avoid Pulev, he will beat Pulev by TKO, KO or decision, depending on what way he wants to win the fight. Vlad wants to fight for Vitali's title, but Don King will do anything to keep him from it..............

    So if K2 wins the purse bid -- will Wlad still be "avoiding" Pulev? :deal
