Is Sultan ducking Wladimir?

Don't know what's going on with these guys but if he is ducking Wladimir then I can't blame him one bit, he'll get knocked out cold against Wladimir.

 

My point is let the man make some change before throwing him to the sharks he has earned as much its not every day you win a HW world title.

 

Yep...he'd get all f**ked up. Wlad's a bad dude right now. I hope he rematches Peter again, if Pete beats Oleg.

 

i musta missed your post ruskull on novrisaputin... yeah that WILL be interesting! seriously that writer claims not to be bias... well not THAT bias, but seriously he's delusional. sultan and warrior boxing just lost major cred, and they had a mouthpiece claiming sultan is this and that, and desires to unify for boxing history, blah blah blah. NOW WHAT WILL THAT WRITER SAY??? mmmwwwhahahahahahaahaaaaaaa!

time to eat some humble pie novrisaputin :yep

there is NO DOUBT wlad could easily fit that schedule... hell even delay it to november if need be, but to slip holyfield in there instantly is just pathetic. damn i really gotta learn to stop falling for promoters and their press releases :-(

all they had to do is replace WBA champ with IBF champ and unification continues. simple! but i know the real reason....

Austin DRAWED AND KNOCKED DOWN SHIFTY IGGY TWICE OVER 10 ROUNDS Ibragimov
Austin KNOCKED THE **** OUT WITH LEFT HAND BY WLADIMIR IN 2 ROUNDS AND USING A ROY JONES JR. SPECIALITY OF A QUADRUPLE LEFT HOOK Klitschko. There's everyones answer!

 

Isn't Wlad's hand injured? I heard he had like 2 months to recover. Besides, Wlad has already turned down a proposal to fight in Moscow on Iggy's undercard. I suppose there's a little bit of bad blood going on between K2 and the Moscow promoters.

From what I hear Holyfield isn't too happy about fighting in Moscow either, so that fight isn't a sealed deal yet.

 

Has Wlad or Sultan even contacted the other party? For all you know, THey did and WLAD said no. PRobably not, but it makes as much sense as yor argument.

 

Klitschko on Iggy's undercard?

Would be the same as DLH on Spink's undercard.

 

you know it is possible chagaev will be ready by december or early next year, and im guessing wlad might be willing to risk wasting time by skipping his november fight...

if chagaev pulled out of a unification with wladimir then klitschko might lose 6 months waiting on chagaev who isn't exactly reliable atm.

also there's the little thing about K2 and chagaev's promoter (i think it's universum?) not getting on well since the brothers parted from that promoter years ago. in fact it could be the equivalent to the bob arum dislike for golden boy simply because he's a bitter promoter who didn't like seeing his cash cow walk out the door.

on the other hand chagaev's promoter might think ruslan could not hang around for long so why not throw him in with wladimir? big money... no - a HUGE money fight. maybe the promoters can put aside their differences for big cash?

and you never know chagaev's promoters might feel a little confidence after their figthers great performance against the huge nicolai valuev. even though wladimir is superior to niko in everyway except physical size and reach, chagaev passed that test with flying colours. they might think he has the ability to land enough shots on wladimir's chin. and i actually feel chagaev poses the biggest threat at the moment in the divison. solid chin, moves a lot when needed. solid power, akward style being a lot shorter than wlad etc.

anyway it's all speculation at this moment, but i will get more excited at a possible unification if it's a long time before we hear anything again from wladimir or chagaev's camp. usually that's a sign of when the serious negotiations are going on. when fighters trade verbal shots in pressers it's less likely to take place.

the bottom line is i guess it's possible unification will happen this year (slim/no chance) or early next year (far more possible).

but one thing is certain if wladimir doesn't get the matchup before mid 2009 he might just call it a day, and be happy with the ring belt. afterall that's 2 years for the others to get their act together. but im getting optimistic again. i only hope it's true that holyfield will be installed as ibragimov's mandatory. if that's the case it will be interesting to see warrior boxing promotions and slava squirm for 12 months after retiring holyman.
