Is Sultan ducking Wladimir?

Nothing wrong with it. But he had already signed on for a unification fight before it got scrapped, which seems to indicate he was looking to make a big fight not an easy payday

But I think Sultan would have a good chance to beat Chagaev. I don't think he has much hope against Wlad. And Sultan's camp/management most likely agrees. Maybe I should rephrase, Sultan probably isn't scared to fight Wlad but I bet his management knows he would lose to Wlad and don't want that to happen in his first defense

 

You dont understand this **** do you, Professional Boxing is a business if you want a sport that is why we have the amateurs, its that simple.
These guys are out to make as much as they can and have a right to do so, so why all the hate?
I am sure Wlad will unify sooner or later, but the fight that Sultan did have set up, fell apart, I am sure he wanted to atleast make some cash before the unification bout so you cant really bash on him for that.
I mean damn Wlad could have easily fought Maskaev rather than Austin or Brewster, or he could have fought Valuev after he beat Byrd I mean its not like the only opportunity for Wlad was to face the WBO champ, there are two other champions out there for him.
So why blame this guy, why not just say the other three are all avoiding him?

 

I voted for the what the **** are you talking about option but in reality, I see your point.

I think he feels he's not quite ready to fight Wlad. Lets face it, Wlad probably starches him and he's looking to cash in on his belt. I'd prefer unification but I think its okay for new beltholders to get a good payday before getting there faces smashed in by Wlad.

 

and That is more than likely the case which is why i say he is taking a money fight first, let the man its not everyday you win a world title so let the man get something out of it, he has earned it.

 

:good

 

But trying to explain that to these Klitschko Closet queers is a whole different issue, they just dont understand the business end of the sport.

 

No not the fans, just the nuthuggers like you

 

sounds about right, with Holyfield he can make some cash and have a beatable opponent, also get's his name out there a little more.if he fights Wlad, he likely loses brutally, and sultan seen how quick he disposed of Austin when Sultan fought him to a draw. As long as he doesn't take another easy fight after this.

 

Lets not also forget it took him 11 rounds to get Lawrence out of there as well
