Of course. Ruiz is better than Chambers, and if we're to believe Klitschko fans, Wlad is better than Haye. Irony isn't your strongpoint is it?
Vitali was marked up by his sparring partners before the fight. Johnson just made the bruises worse with a few jabs. Vitali has only 2-3 fights left and he fights someone like Sosnowski? :huh I'm really disappointed. No Tua, Solis, Boytsov, Povetkin etc. but Sosnowski? :verysad
So Wlad should drop the belts he earned to fight some English ***** who already backed out of a fight? That's okay, let Haye fight Ruiz, Valuev again, Holyfield and whatever other fossils Don King can arrange for him.
I thought Vitali was supposed to be fighting Valuev. I guess I missed something since I don't follow the Heavyweights that closely.
1. He wants to stay active (look at the complete bums Holmes fought in the very early 1980's) 2. Nobody wants to fight the guy. If he wants to make money he has to fight.
Yes, how dare a fighter actually fight in between fighting the other names he has to chase down to get into the ring?
I don't think that Wlad should be accused of facing all bums.. Eddie Chambers is a 35-1 contender who has never been stopped, has beaten a few ranked men of decent size, and is in the peak of his prime... Hell, you didn't always see defending champions taking on that level of comp even back in the old days.... Larry Holmes for example ducked Greg Page. Wlad's last opponent was teh 25-0 Ruslan Chagaev, who for all practical purposes, was the WBA champ ( albeit no title on the line. ) Tony Thompson was a 6'5", 240 lbs challenger with a 31-1 record and a mandatory status.... Sultan Ibragimov, for as shitty as he looked, was 22-0 and a titlist.. Vitali returned to the ring after a 4 year abscence, and at the age of 37, to beat Peter, Areola, Gomez and Johnson.... Not a steller list granted, but not exactly a string of tomato cans either...
RUSKULL hates Haye like I hate Wlad. Haye is obviously fighting the better competition this time by fighting Ruiz, opposed to Vitali's awful choice.
I know! Vitali should should split the proceeds 50/50 with fighters that don't even have belts just to get them in the ring. That's what a real hero would do..............
