For the sake of heavyweight boxing, these guys need to come back/step it up

Dear Friends,

Kind regards.

Congratulations to Vitaly on tonights victory. That being said, heavyweight boxing is now officially dead. The number 1 and 2 guys are brothers who will never fight each other. Peter has been licked by both, Valuev, the obivou new number 3, has never even avenged his loss to CAhgaev, and speaking of Chag, is this guy ever going to get it togehter? I am a Povetkin fan, but many ESBers have no confidence in the man, and it remains to be seen if Juan Carlos Gomez and David Haye have what it takes. The heavyweight divison needs an infusion of talent and enthusiasm. Here is my plea to a few guys out there who can make a difference.

KIRK JOHNSON
Where are you my man? At your best, you were one of the most skilled guys in the divison. ITs time to get that stomach staple, get back into training, and re-present yourself as a serious contender. Do you have what it takes to beat Vitali? I don't know, but you can certainly do better than you did all those years ago.

David Tua
You are an incredible fighter, but where are you? It is a travesty that a man like Johnny Ruiz is a two time champion, and you have never won a belt. Start figthing consistanly, get into good shape. go out there and the guy every boxing fan wants you to be.

Alexander Dimentrenko
You are the WBO #1, and yet we have no idea whether you would win a rematch with Timo Hoffman. You are a big boy, barely 26 years of age with as many proffesional fights. Please destroy Luan Krasiniqi, take acouple fo more tough ones, and present yourself as a serious challenger.

Lamon Brewster
In my book, when you were the champ, you were the real champ. Forget the Buddy McQuirt style, and go back to being relentless. Give us a great rubber match with Wladdy.

Sergei Lyackovich
We love you man, but your fights agaisnt Briggs and Valuev were disgraceful. Get back into decent shape and bring back the guy who battled Lamon toe to toe.

Sultan Ibragimov
There are two Sultans. One is the quick handed destroyer who took out TOS, the other the cautious boxer who outpointed Briggs and Holyfield. Both are good fighters, but imagine how good you could be if you combined both styles. You should have known that the wrong guy showed up against Wladdy, and switched to the destroyer in round three. It is time to blend the two Sultans into one.

Friday Ahunanya
Your whole career has been the same story- impress the hell out of people, and then don't cross the finish line in the big fight. Now is the time! Remeber how close you came to licking the guy above you, who himself went on the win the WBO belt? Friday, this division needs more rugged fighters like yourslef.

Monter Barret
Like Friday, you are another spoiler. Either beat Haye and get your shot, or give him a good enough fight so that he knows what he is getting into in this heavyweight divion.

Andrew Golota
Andrew, you continue to fight decent, B level competition every six months or so. You have one more good run in you- time to take it, and make good on all of that lost promise

Malik Scott
Come on! Contenders have come,risen to the top, got knocked back down, and risen again in the time it has taken you to do nothing. Time to take a stab at it.

Dennis Boytsov
You are a long ways off yet, but you have to do better than in you last two. The last thing we need is another guys who's power myseriously vanishes when he's fighting a semi-live body

Solis
Loose 40-50 pounds. Stop fighting guys with impressive records who comletely suck in every way.

James Toney
Loose 20-30 pounds

Haseem Rahman
Even at your age, with the sub par performance against Toney, your good jab, good power, experience and most of all, your name, make you good for a few more fights. Do you want it or not, because you have to step up and hang tougher. A lot of people said that Vitaly was afraid of you- this is a natural fight if you would do what you have to do to get it.

Oleg MAskaev
The end is probabaly near, but a big cash out agaisnt Vitaly is there if you want if because of your pst in the amatuers. Can you get yourself in the kind of shape you need to come claim it?

Chris Arreola
Everyone is interested right now. Please do not come into any more fights on the wrong side of 250. Your power and your willingness to fight anyone make you intruiging, but Chazz Witherpoon's best attributes were a padded undefeated record and a family name. Don't get overconfident.

Travis Walker/Jason Estrada
No one takes you guys seriously. Why not? You are two fine young fighters with extensive backgrounds. Now start coming in in shape and winning consistantly.

Shannon Briggs
This is not a Mr. Universe contest, and you do not have asthma. You are 30-40 pounds over your optimum weight, and even if it is muscle it slows you down. Please get back into some kind of boxing shape, and make a real run of it.

Ruslan Chagaev
For god's sake, get healthy

Juan Carlos Gomez
You have your shot. Please make the most of it. It fun to live the lifestyle, but please have some sense that this is not only your meal ticket, but your immortality.Win if you can, and if you loose, do good enough that people want a rematch.

David Haye
Less talking, more fighting.

Sam Peter
So, you lost to big Kilt. No shame there. Please loose that 10-15 pounds, and start targeting a Wladdy rematch. Wouln't hurt to acutally learn how to fight.

Lennox Lewis
You and Vitaly is still the biggest fight out there, and it could break all kinds of records.

Eddie Chambers
You scared the bejesus out of Povetkin, and remarkably, people held it as evidence that Sascha is not good. Fast one, this is an insult to you! Shut these guys up.

Calvin Brock
By the grace of god, just get well, man, whether you come back or not.

Kevin Johnson
great job against seldon, now, time to step it up. You bring a lot of showmanship with you, and that is a very good thing. This division needs your star wuality, but only if you are beating real guys.
