How does wlad do in place of Holmes?

The IBF's official ruling was that Williamson beat McCall and Jefferson while Wlad was on the shelf with the injury.

However...

The legal team for Klitschko, which includes television personality Max Kellerman serving as an expert witness, has accused the IBF of manipulating the rankings as a favor to Don King, who promotes both Byrd and Williamson.

 

I'm not hiding the full fight from anyone. Wlad even dominated the round he was knocked down in and as shown had Williamson hanging on. Round 5, Wlad jabbed at Williamson as he went on his bicycle, easy Wlad round. Wlad wasn't remotely tired as he controlled easily without doing much. They clashed heads at the bell. The doctor determined the split forehead was too bad and stopped it. THE doctor.

The actual dialogue.

The doctor: He can't handle that.

Wlad's cutman: He can handle it.

The Doctor: No no, that's a big one.

Wlad: I am ready!

The Doctor: I'm going to stop it! I'm stopping the fight.

Wlad: NO! NO WAY!

Announcer: It's over, the doctor makes the determination. It's very deep.

Heady: We are going to the scores cards! It was a headbutt, I saw it clearly!!!

Wlad: What is going on?



How is that a quit job? The doctor stopped the fight while Wlad and his corner protested.

 

Likely not, but not out of the realm of possibility.

There were no super heavies with skills Wlad size in Holmes' day. You'd figure Wlad would lose 1-2 times vs Holmes competition, but I can not see any way Wlad loses at age 35-36 to Mike Spinks. So they both might be 49-2!

 

That can't be right. Boxing personality DinoCrazy says that Spinks obliterates Wlad!

 

The gave Willianson the title shot after Wlad refused the rematch. He knew his style was all wrong for him.

And TOS was being promoted by Lou DiBella , not King. Clean out your mouth-piece , its full of dump.

 

The bout went to the scorecards. One judge had Williamson ahead, but the other two gave Klitschko a 49-46 edge, meaning a shutout aside from the knockdown.

"He used his 'Get Out of Jail Free' card," Williamson said. "It was getting uglier and uglier. Talk to people who watched and some will say maybe he was ahead. Others will say maybe I was ahead. But everybody tells me, 'It was certain you were going to win the fight.' The tide had turned."

Williamson also seemed to turn the corner in that fight.

"I belong here," he said. "I had this guy. He squeaked it out, but there was no doubt in my mind the future was bright."

 

No rematch was ever ordered by the IBF, Byrd had to have a defense in the books by the end of the summer and Williamson was selected the mandatory.

Under the IBF rules, Byrd is required to face the 'highest ranked available challenger' by August of this year. With top two Hasim Rahman and Monte Barrett already due fight each other, that leaves No.3 ranked Williamson as the effective mandatory challenger to Byrd.

The IBF's website states that Williamson edged ahead of Klitschko because of his April 30 KO win over IBF No.15 ranked Derrick Jefferson (another heavyweight Klitschko had previous defeated, by the way) in New York.


This is the second article that states Williamson was inked by King at the time. Clean out your mouth-piece, dummy.

An alternative theory is that the IBF, the very same organisation crippled by a ratings scandal in the 1990s, is been naughty again and is looking after the best interests of promoter Don King, who has Byrd and Williamson on his books but not Wladimir Klitschko.

Williamson and WK had a mutual agreement to rematch. Wlad promised one right there in the ring. Then he went off and fought unranked never heard of Castilo.-

"The reason DaVarryl is (now) rated higher than Wladimir Klitschko is because DaVarryl Williamson has done everything the IBF rules have asked of him to do. He beat Oliver McCall, who nobody wanted to fight because he punches so hard, and then he fought and knocked out a top 15 IBF fighter in Derrick Jefferson. That's two good wins (since the October Klitschko fight) for DaVarryl while Klitschko fought a guy in Eliseo Castillo who was unranked by the IBF. It's simple."

(and neither is Byrd, who hasn't been in the ring since November and wants to get his mandatory out of the way ASAP) but Williamson relishes the chance of a second crack at the 1996 Olympic gold medallist.
