Worse than Arreola and Mitchell ducking Wlad is that Arreola has ducked Rodriguez and Scott as well. Now, Davids injured and will be coming back vs decent LOC in Nov/Dec, but Scott came back after 4 yrs off, and beat a solid Ahunanya. He should be getting back in it so he can get that title shot. He should be barking at Wach and Grant and McCall, try to step up to the Blevel and then the K2 would consider him. The K2 actually offered Rodriguez a fight, on the condition he beat Banks last yr. Banks actually turned it down to fight Gavern on the Vitali Adamke UC. :roflHad Nino actually got that fight, he'd likely been Vitali's March opponent instead of Chisora.:deal
Wlad is the champ. They should come to him to take those belts. It seems like the man has to seek out someone to fight! When was the last time the heavyweight champ had to pretty much beg people to fight him? If my fellow Americans want those belts someone needs to step up and kick everyone else's ass, brutally and loudly so no one can ignore him. Step up so that Wlad has no choice but to come to the U.S. for a huge payday. But as of right now they seem to be sitting on their asses fighting nobodies.
Maybe the American fighter needs to get in a mandatory position then they will get there fight .. :huh
Why don't these awesome American heavyweights actually fight each other or someone else in the top 10, rather than scream for a pay day and an inevitable beating from Wlad? If you beat a top 10 fighter or two, you make for a more compelling fight with the champ. Simple logic.
Malik Scott? Give me a break. Had him a sparring partner years ago.... was beat from post to post and didnt want to come back
:roflatsch Was he the guy that you had to send home because they were such crap? I know there were a few and remember an interview Steward did where he said Wlad was punching through the guard and knocking guys out/down in sparring and he was just shaking his head
Years ago. Malik is in terrific shape now, no way does Wlad beat the current version of Scott. One question: if you're always watching the brothers sparring, who's in the kitchen? :huh
d deal The Klitschkos are a fraud and cannot be trusted :-( Vitali still won't admit that he was dropped by a spinning heel kick from Pele Reid that landed right on his jaw. The iron chin myth continues.
