    I just posted this in the general forum, but you guys know your ****.
    Why didn't Vitali avenge his brother's defeat like the Klitschkos usually end up doing? Did Vitali retire before it had enough time to materialize? Did the Klitschkos decide they were old enough and good enough to avenge their own defeats? I wasn't too into boxing back then so some insight would be appreciated.

    Stop me if I'm wrong, but I think Vitali was angling to try to fight Tyson around then, wasn't he? Seem to remember him getting very annoyed that Danny Williams won instead and vowed to take it out on him.

    Vitali-Brewster might've been possible for 2005 but by then Vitali was in the middle of his long injury timeout.

    Vitali was trying to get Tyson in the ring from back when he fought Hide.

    Yes, Vitlai was going to fight Tyson next. The two toured Ukraine. The trouble was Danny Williams defeated Tyson.
