    True, and I really don't blame Iggy for taking an easier fight ofr a bigger payday. This is prizefighting after all.

    If Chagaev pulled out because Holyfield's camp paid him off then it would be rude for Sultan to turn around a fight Wladimir instead of Holyfield !

    :deal

    Holyfield bought in. Why should Wlad benefit ?

    :hey

    A fight with Wlad is worth three times more if he has extra titles to use as bargaining tools .. Unification against the best is best kept for last.. Sultan is not avoidinghim, he just has priorities right..

    IMO Wlad will devour him but in the grand scheme of things Sultan is doing things exactly right........

    Excellent point & I really don't spite Sultan the big payday vs. Holy and the possible even bigger fight vs. Wlad if he defeats Holy.

    I don´t blame Ibragimov. He can earn good money with a Holy-fight without the risk he would´ve vs. Klitschko. I would do so as well, but for the division and the boxing fans the Ibragimov-Holyfield-fight is nonsense.

    And yes, in a certain way Ibragimov is ducking Klitschko, because immediately after Chagaev pulled out they called Kathy Duva, while Klitschko would´ve been an option.....

    He no doubt could have fought Wlad. You know Wlad would take the fight, and there's no reason it couldn't be made. You realize how huge a Sultan-Wlad unification in Moscow would be?

    But Sultan doesn't want to get demolished by Wlad

    Or it might just be that Sultan wants to take advantage of this opportunity and make some big cash before he fights in the unification bouts, perhaps Sultan is looking at this fight as an easy payday before he takes the bigger fights.
    Nothing wrong with that its been done time and time again.

    You can't really blame him and his handlers for taking what they think will be a big money fight with Holy (I doubt it'll be a big seller, but still.......), but you can certianly blame him and see how he was merely running his mouth when he said he wanted Wlad next, and was after complete unification.

    That is some rediculous bull****, to say that publicly, then get the chance to DO it, and take another fight with a less threatening opponent, so fast it made our heads swim.

    But I imagine that Ibragimov has recently reviewed his fight with Austin, and then reveiwed Wlad's fight with Austin, and then convienently forgot all that blowhard crap he was saying about wanting Wlad and being after complete unification. :lol:

    Where the poll choice is for Sultan was set for a title unification match with Chagaev, but Chagaev pulled out? This is too bad. Heavyweight boxing needed a title unification match. I suppose the shell of Holyfield will due until Sultan gets a chance to line up another opponent. I don’t think Sultan is ducking Wlad. He just won his belt. Ducking takes at least a year.
