    Nice move...Since he handles all this major heavyweights and the other big promoters seem to not care about this division, he can bring back the heavyweight division as a start. Theres certainly less talented fighters in the heavyweight compared to the 80's and 90's but at least there would be a unified champ for the american media to look up to.

    The only problem I see in there is how to eliminate vitali as surely these 2 brothers would not fight, chagaev-valuev II is a good one. Valuev is a marketable guy and he's giving him another shot.

    Vitali isn't one to get fat while not fighting. His injuries have been healed and yes, he's a far better fighter than Peter, Valuev or Chagaev. Time will tell.

    IF this happens Vit will not be in it one way or the other & King will sub in Golota or Jawney, probably a last minute kind of thing, & he will gain control of that WBC belt that he wants so bad.

    King has said he had big plans for a heavyweight unification not too long ago, too, and nothing came of that. If I recall correctly, this was back when he had ALL FOUR titleholders under his control, too. Or, at least three of them, if not four.


    If this is a real legit story, I think he's only planning another unification because he probably sees that it'll benefit him, personally. If he sees that it won't benefit him, he'll forget the whole thing. LOL

    pffff....i believe this bs as much as i believe in the tooth fairy

    what if vitali and chagaev both win, two fighters with no ties to don king. vitali wont give options to convicted felon don king

    more likely, vitali drags this out the whole year and valuev-chagaev-ruiz continue their round robin snoozefest

    wlad will easily dispatch of thompson, the white cub and then hopefully **** talker haye :yep

    Kings done it before, cant put him past it 2 do it again. I'll applaud the move if it happens.

    However? King being the snake he is? Just ****ed the world of boxing again with the Spinks Robbery and I trust King like I trust a KING COBRA:-(

    BS. King had 3 of the 4 belts under his control for how long and not one ****ing unification fight ever happened. King keeps recycling his pathetic Heavyweights that nobody wants to see fight. His biggest drawing Heavyweight is Golota who is 40 years old.
