Abraham's comments are especially embarassing considering that his Sauerland Promotion stable mates all had zero interest in fighting the Klitschkos. Valuev was disinterested for $2.5 million, Haye was disinterested for 50% of global revenues and Povetkin simply "wasn't ready" Of course all this is the Klitschko's fault
Few years after Haye is exposed he'll be just another mention in BoxRec and major fu for dummies who believed in him more than even he did. Valuev appears to be nice guy so I only say that at best he might actually go full rounds with Wlad.
Anyone who follows the twisted logic of the Klitschko haters knows that when one of them beats Haye, if Haye ever summons the balls to get in the ring with them, Haye will be immediately dismissed as pure hype and a blown-up cruiser. The brothers are never going to please these people, so it's time to quit caring about what they have to say. :bart
Boxing is a business first, and Wladimir worked hard to get in the position he's in, and you're suggesting he should give the lions share to Haye?! Isn't 50-50 ****ing humanitarian, considering Haye hasn't done JACK **** in the division?
How does Wladimir not deserve the bigger cut, and he's giving up 50% for David in case he wants it, and Haye won't accept those simple terms... and now it's Wlads fault?! Wladimir does not need Haye nor Valuev, because he's THE recognized man of the division, and they're nothing but chumps battling over the paper belt that really should be around Wladimirs waist had there not been corruption in the sport.
Peter at least tried. I can't remember the last time a Wlad opponent at least looked like he had the thought in his head he could win the fight. Does Abraham offer any names of who Wladimir should be fighting.
Just like Lewis' legacy could have been greatly improved by running after Riddick Bowe. And we all know how that ended. Lennox recounted a story how him and his manager Ogun were sitting down with Bowe and his handlers and Bowe's manager stated "Ok guys, this is how we're going to do this. Riddick will get 90% of the purse. If you agree then the fight is on". Lennx said after they heard this, him and Ogun stood up and left the meeting. Obviously Bowe wasn't interested in fighting. But following your logic maybe Lennox should have been less greedy, just to improve his legacy? :think
:goodExcellent point. There is a limit to how far one should go to improve a legacy. Becoming a chump isn't worth it.
Klitschkos legacy is fine as it is, to see his top three threats Frankensteiluev, Duckvetkin and Hayefaker running scared from him adds a mystique and credibility even better than knocking them all out. Those pretenders won't even fight him. Even Tyson never paralyzed opponents with fear like Wlad is doing. .
