    The WBC signed an agreement with Vitali and you think they should break it. Well, Vitali has legal rights. Vitali wants this fight to make boxing history.

    Vlad and Emanuel Steward want to fight Peter, but Vitali gets first choice and Vlad can't force Peter to fight him. Take a look at Don King's record. Calling names is a child's thing.

    Valuev was well on his way to being steered into a unification with Waldo. Which is why he fought Larry Donald. They wanted to see how he'd handle a tall boxer type who was a bit past his prime. Of course he looked like ****. And then lost to his mandatory.

    We haven't had a title holder yet who is willing to risk it all, in order to unify.

    Since the title picture has been continually changing, the place where the responsibility can be placed also shifts. This poll gives 2 wrong answers, amounting to another ESB KLITschko popularity contest.

    Interesting responses so far. Anyone else care to venture an opinion?

    I think the answer lies in asking who has Wladimir Klitschko avoided? He fought Peter, who I think is the most dangerous opponent out there for Klitschko. And he doesn't seem to be avoiding the possibilities of a rematch. (I'll believe the Vitali stuff when I see him the ring.) He fought Ibragimov. He fought his mandatories.

    King is the same Don King that he's always been. A man hell-bent on being the biggest force in boxing regardless of what the boxers deserve.

    Fine and thoughtful response from one of ESB's original members.

    The only thing I would like to add, people definetly have short mamories. How come we never saw a unification when don THE SCUM king had 3 title holders under his management. Reminder: Brewster, Byrd, Ruiz.

    It looks like this poll is finished so I'll write some concluding remarks.

    I must say I'm impressed with you ESB'ers...87% of you picked the right answer to this question. I was expecting the opposite.

    Keep up the good work kids.

    It's not entirely King's fault. Other boxers have fought King fighters and didn't have an options.
