    So who said Wlad was ducking Pulev again? :patsch

    Wlad ducks no man, even though he is boring in a lot of his bouts.

    So if Wlad is 'avoiding' Pulev, then why is he bidding on the fight? LMAOOOO

    Where is Dinodumbass and that Buglarian idiot.

    And everything was so predictable. Unless for the ignorant haters and losers.

    But i would have preferred an unification bout. They are always the best thing for the sport.

    On the other hand, finally Pulev will have his long awaited and well earned payday. No more forced to wait "with his dick swinging in the wind".

    Wlad can't be accused of ducking, having cleared out the best of a bad division until now (Pulev is literally all that is left, and Povetkin was #2 when Klitschko fought him, and Haye #2 before that when they fought, and Chagaev #2 before that when they fought...and in addition to all these "best available challengers" he took on a slew of guys against whom the outcome may have been a foregone conclusion but who earned their rankings such as Thompson in the rematch and Leapai, as well as guys with padded-up unbeaten records whose achievements were still no less than just about every other top heavy in this weak era - guys like Wach and Pianeta. You can't fault him for his resume, just making lemonade from the lemons he is given...) - BUT you can rest assured Klitschko will be just as negative here as he was against Povetkin. Not that Pulev is as much of a KO threat compared with Povetkin, but in a straight-up boxing match without spoiling and constant holding Pulev does have a style to be competitive...and Klitschko hates being in competitive bouts. He will gladly stink out the joint and lose even more fans winning ugly should it mean squeaking by Pulev, capping off his legacy with another nice cherry and being able to say he beat everyone out there.

    Evolution of Dino:
    Wlad is ducking his biggest threat(insert name) this time around Pulev, used to be Haye,Povetkin, etc..
    Wlad will pay off the refs and Judges
    Wlad cheated to win
    The un-ducked opponent wasn't good anyway

    Rinse and repeat insert Fury,Wilder,Stiverne, until Wlad eventually deteriorates enough through the yrs, that maybe Dino will eventually be able to say he got it right once.

    Don't know I'd ever have called myself a huge fan.

    Respected him, more than now.

    Back circa the strong run from 2005-2010, when he was gelling with Steward and really in his prime, he actually was a decent HW champ to watch IMO. Basically from around Peter I (maybe as far back as TOS) to Peter II. Even in the mismatches, he took care of business and closed the show, even getting away from his basic predictable yet effective 1-2 at times, like when he left hooked Austin into oblivion. From about Haye on, his entertainment value - and effectiveness using true boxing skills as opposed to spoiling tactics - has plummeted. It has been mostly refusal to engage from mid-range in, keeping everyone on the end of his jab, clinching like his life depended on it otherwise. I don't care for 2011-present Klitschko, no.

    The Povetkin fight was ducked as far as im concerned.

    Wlad would not of fought him unless he was certain he could shut the fight down from round 1 to round 12 and thats exactly what he done.
    He trained for a grappeling contest in camp. He bent the rules and cheated to beat him. Duck.

    Where are the people that say the Klitschko's pay **** and low ball their opponents. Pulev is gonna make $1,450,026 for this fight. Another career payday for their opponent. So tired of hearing that ****.

    2008-Klitschko was originally scheduled to meet Alexander Povetkin in a mandatory defense of the IBF title but Povetkin pulled out due to an injury.
    The fight against Rahman (ranked #4 by the IBF) was recognized as a mandatory defense for Klitschko
    Povetkin retained his status as mandatory challenger for the IBF title and will be granted a title shot no later than September 13th, 2009

    2010-The two were next scheduled to meet on September 11, 2010, but the fight unraveled when Povetkin, who had been training in New Jersey, failed to attend the press conference in Germany officially announcing the fight. Povetkin's camp claimed the fighter had a

    and would be unable to fly for 10 days. However, there were rumors that there was a difference of opinion within the Povetkin camp about the fight;

    .
    K2 Promotions, Klitschko's company, complained to the IBF about Povetkin missing the news conference because it had won the promotional rights to the fight with a purse bid of

    . With so much money on the line, K2 needed him there to promote the fight, which was to take place at the 55,000-seat Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt. The IBF sided with Klitschko and ordered him to begin negotiating with the next available contender, Samuel Peter.

    So Wlad bided $8 million on a fight he didnt want, made Povetkin get a supposed "sinus problem" and convinced Atlas and Sauerland to pull their fighter out.

    Nice check for Pulev....even at 20% still gonna make close to 2 mil with TV $$$$......not bad for a guy with 20 fights.


    should be Wlads 4-5 last fights.

    Hopefully Adamak can cash in on the WBA Sweepstakes and keep WBA contenders busy for a minute .

    That'll leave Wlad to go after Takam, Stiverne/wilder Arreola and Fury. Add Glaskov and Jennings to the mix and he could have 3-4 more legacy builders.......

    Hopefully he can get the WBC title then drop it and DON VITALI can make his return
