Vitali Klitschko vs “The Golden era”? Contenders?

Don King had no involvement, absolutely none. Thats a non-truth originated from Mendoza , an known peddler of lies.

When Byrd fought both brothers back to back he was under the promotional banner of Universum which later became K2 promotions.

Hes on video saying Universum wanted him to fight Wlad. Vitali had the rematch clause over Byrd. Byrd had no options despite holding the belt. K2 contracts are well known.
3 years later Byrd signed with Don King. Understand?

 

You don’t seem to understand. Wlad beat the absolute crap out of him and by the time a fight with Vitali would’ve meant something, Byrd was doing the fake title dance with Don King.

 

You be slacking Dino 8 pages on a Klitschko thread and you only show up now? Come on man step your game up!

 

Vitali ducked the immediate rematch and got lil bro to step in for him.
This is the situation based on 100% fact.

True atgs take immediate rematch and overturn the result.

Vitali ducked rematching Byrd despise holding a rematch clause. He then became one of the very few guys in history who lost his passing of the torch fight.

 

You're not as confused as u sound , just parroting Mendozas lies.

Wlad should never have pasted Byrd. It was vitalis duty to get his belt back himself.
Hello anybody home !!???

 

I don't get it either. I hope he's well.

 

If I remember correctly, Sanders dominated all the rounds and in the 4th he had Rahman grobby and went aggressively for the knockout and in return he ate a hand that left him completely lost, but at no time did he look tired, out of 10 fights he would win 9 in my opinion, he was very unlucky in this one.

 

You remember it wrong.

Sanders was down twice in the 3rd and 4th rounds it was a back and forth slugfest and Sanders hardly dominated.

So no I don't agree Sanders wins 9 times out of 10 when Rahman would've been the 2nd best win of his career which puts into perspective Sanders hardly had any notable wins to suggest he was unlucky vs Rahman.

 

It was also an early stoppage. Sanders was defending himself.

 

No it wasn't.

Sanders got stunned by a right hand and didn't throw a punch back in a 20 second assault by Rahman he was frozen.

I counted 30 unanswered punches thrown by Rahman without Sanders throwing a single punch back.

If you're letting the other guy tee off on you for an extended period of time without throwing a punch back you can't really have much argument.

 

Whether i was watching boxing then or not because i wasn't born obviously.

I can still review the history look up the rankings and watch the fights.

Byrd was still higher rated than any fighter Vitali fought until he semi retired and Byrd also held a belt.

Outside of Sanders who had the big win over Wladimir obviously there's no other opponent who Vitali fought during 2000-2004 that would've been better than a win over Byrd.

Byrd would've been the best win of Vitali's career and he had incentive due to losing to Byrd and having a chance to revenge that loss.

 

He was defending himself. Few of those shots were landing. I don’t think Sanders had enough gas to rally again, but it was a strange point to stop a fight.

 

He was highly rated while defending a fake belt with DKP. The fight wasn’t there due to King but you skipped that part.

 

The issue is and it's kind of like Dokes/Weaver 1.

When you're taking so many unanswered punches without throwing back whether you're coherent or not you're not giving the referee much to work with.

 

Well he had legitimised it atleast by beating Holyfield, Tua, in comprehensive fashion.

It's kind of like Dubois being gifted his belt recently but legitimising it by beating Joshua.
