    I've never known why, probably because of my lack of interest, but still why?
    Both or all 3 fighters kept fighting bums but not eachother...
    Was there some ducking going on here?

    vitklit was too scared to look someone straight in the eyes, he's used to fighting shorter opponents.

    SNV would not submit to their petty slave contracts.

    It is one of the few valid points haye has made lately.

    For all the supposed dominance of k2, they never fought valuev nor ruiz.

    And you cannot tell me they would be an improvement on johnson and sosnowski.

    Because Don King did not want to lose control of the last HW belt?

    isnt it funny how the klits always blamed King for stuff yet when they got their own company they had the most outrageous contracts in history including rematch clauses with eath brother non paying of medials travel or accomodation funny stuff


    In short there is no reason why they never fought those guys and although I might critise them for their actions it seems to me that the WBA have their own corcus going and if you think about unifying at HW they dont want to take less money as that would involve , even then htye would just release another belt

    why the hell were chagev ruiz and valuev and holyfield etc allowed to contest their phony title

    I'm not going to laugh at this statement, but only because I respect SNV too much.

    I think they were both pressing for a Valuev fight, at least once each.

    But with the latest attempt by Vitali to get him in the ring, Valuev just outright turned the Vitali fight down saying he didn't have enough time to prepare, or something.

    Wlad doesn't have the tools required to fight as the smaller man.
    Vitali was retired for a while, by the time he came back, SNV droped the belt to Haye.

    Valuev lost to Haye they offered 2.5mil

    he came back some months later and they say 1.5mil

    Seriously man a LOT of boxers have problems with these guys doing business , then there's stipulations triple rematches . Euro deals are now in dollars etc etc

    Im a non fan and admit they are the best and you as a fan need to admit that they are shark promotors:good

    Merry Christmas buddy:hi:
