There is no better opponet right now, however I think Holyfield and Golota may be at #1 and #2 very soon.
I think that most box aficionados quite agree with me that most sport fans would like to see new faces instead of those Byrds,Brooks,Hollyfields,Rahmans,and so on. Virchis,Dimitrenko,Bidenko-they are a quite a few new faces out there who could make the water a bit hot for Wlad. Wlad vs Virchis would be my personal favourite match.
It's laughable, frankly. There's little interest in rematches with either guy, especially Byrd. You'd almost think the IBF was trying to force Wladimir to dump the belt or something. Even more reason to try to push for a fight with another title-holder. Not only would the IBF have to acquiese to that over a mandatory, but it gives you more options if you win more belts.
You are probably right in saying this ,stinky,but I for my part would certainly prefer watching Wlad take on Bidenko to rematching Byrd or Brook. As for Virchis he is ready for a title shot IMO.He isnt the kind of figher who can improve his skills a lot whether he has ten more fights or not.He is a limited huge heavy,but a limited huge heavy with murderous firepower. I bet my house that Virchis vs Wlad wouldnt have been such a one-sided affair as Wlad vs Brewster was!
What about the new heavyweights; Arreola and Chambers? Probably too soon for them as well, but they should jump at the chance before they are exposed. Atleast they'd get a big payday and no one would think less aof them for losing to the champ.
It's more the politics of boxing :good :-( :-( :-( isnt it?? i respect both fighters but they were BOTH already Ko'd and would have to at least beat another titlelist to even suggest a rematch.
Well if Wlad has to KO another no hoper, let it be someone he hasn´t beaten before. There is little point in a second Brock fight, though I suppose Brock would have some chance of winning. Further there is NO point in watching Byrd go 0-3 (2LKO) against Wlad either.
I keep telling you guys to go to the site in my profile. The only way to end the alphabet crap is to recognize only one champ per division. How is that done? By doing it. None of the alphabet organizations recognize holders of other organization's titles, unless they hold their title too. It is time to take an organization that has a champ, and only classifies these other so called champs as contenders. It may take some time, but enough start doing it, it can be done.
