Valuev -VK would sell big in Germany. It makes sense for both fighters. It will probably happen. Do I think it'll be a good fight? No.
There is talks it will be Valuev. I hope not. It would be interesting, but worthless. Haye has one mandatory and so VK should fight one other guy, then Haye and then retire. VK doesn't have the time to fight more than another 2 guys before he fights Haye. I hope he fights the winner of Solis-Austin if this happens.
this is the KLITSCHKO ERA. nobody can touch them right now. not povetkin, not adamek, not even haye... although i hope david haye would pull an upset to either one of them
hate all you want but with the current state of HW division, they aint going anywhere. those guys are just levels above.
The winner of Solis vs Austin will be his mandatory anyway. There is rumour that Vitaly will square off against Valuev before he faces his mandatory. He wont fight Thompson in the USA.Thats for sure! As for Boytsov he is a dangerous opponent,but not yet ready for one of the Klitschko brothers. 'Whats more he is not really known -neither in the states,Germany,nor Russia. Vitaly vs Valuev is a potential mega fight in terms of revenues.
Please not austin or maskaev. But after fighting that coward Johnson it d gladly take anyone who comes in with the intention to win actually
Some german posters have spreaded the news that -according to Germany's biggest newspaper Bild - Valuev will probably be Vitaly's next opponent. I ve not read that piece of info yet so that I dont know for sure whether this is true or not,but Germany's Bild is usually a very reliable source as it seems to have easy access to the Klitschko camp. What do you think,flurry? Vitaly vs Valuev in Hamburg?
I d attend it, naturally. Not that I think Valuev is the top banana but hes never been stopped until now and I believe Vitali might be the man do it. Namewise hes much better than Austin or Maskaev, though i liked the latter back in his day watched him and backed him when i saw him live in attendance here the night he destroyed samil sam, but he s past it now, imo
Yep! Oleg showed a very convincing performance when he beat Samil Sam. Nobody wants to watch Austin vs Vitaly,neither in the states nor in Germany. I guess that fight is really tough to sell in Germany as Austin looked like a true no-hoper in his fight against Vitaly's brother Wladimir. I guess even Samil Sinan Sam vs Vitaly would be truly big in Germany compared with Austin vs Vitaly.
Solis and Boystov aren't ready for Vitaly, they would be like Johnson and Arreola, two possible threats who got thrown in a bit too early. Haye is fighting Ruiz and Vitaly wants to fight in April so that rules Haye out. If he fights in Europe next then Valuev makes sense. If he fights in America next I wouldn't mind seeing him face Briggs. I think Briggs matches up decently with Vitaly and carries some name value. Vitaly would beat either Briggs or Valuev but both are interesting. Hopefully, he doesn't face Holyfield if he beats Botha next month.
Well, Vitaly will probably fight Valuev next somewhere in Germany.German tv will pay big bucks to broadcast this fight. Briggs vs Vitaly isnt a big fight in terms of revenues. As for Boytsov and Solis I quite agree with you that they both are not ready yet for the likes of the Klitschko brothers. As for Johnson and Arreola I for my part think that Arreola is for real and will be a big player one day,but I dont think that arrogant ring clown whose only telling weapon is his jab will be able to compete with his better rivals out there. Admittingly,he is flippy and hard to hit,but IMO he doesnt play in prime Byrd's league. He made Vitaly look bad at times,but was as harmless as a turtle in an ocean full of dangerous sharks. Damn! He didnt even give it a serious try to dethrone the reigning champ and capture his belt! What a disgrace of boxing he was that night...............unlike Arreola who deserves respect for his courageous try to win the world title.
hmmm i think if Haye beats Valuev convincingly then it puts a lot of preassure on Haye, but on the other hand why couldnt they stage a unification fight when Valuev was WBA champ? timing doesnt add up but there you go
Why no fight three fights next year He fought three times this year First Valuev then Haye and last the mandatory Solis if He beats Austin that i think He will. the then retire with at least a little respect from the American public.
