    Right. This fight has a buzz. Boxing needs that.I saw the current warm up clips.

    Peter looks good. Vitlai looks very good, faster and more accurate.

    ***BREAKING NEWS***

    Vitlai told the German press that if Wlad beats Valuev, a fight between brothers for all the belts is possible. Never heard this before. A title belt with all four belts on the line at the same time?

    If enough money is thrown at them, anything is possible. It's highly unlikely, but you just never know.

    Vitali by Ko...i think this is calculating thing to get some kind of legacy to vitali and his training well all the time. You dont have to fight to be in good shape and Vitaly's huge fighting experience help to get good timing again.

    Like I say, if they were really willing to go for it, I would totally change my tune. Klit vs Klit would be the biggest one around.

    But I need more than a possibility. It's possible I'll fight Mike Tyson, doesn't mean it'll happen (place your bets guys). If Vitali was to win the WBC and then announce he's aiming for Wlad, pass me the champagne and party poppers.

    Peter is clearly unnerved & intimidated. For that reason alone I doubt he can win unless Brittley gets injured.

    .....don't know why a glass chinned limited fatty like Danny Williams has been part of this discussion.

    I actually imagine they are not that motivated by money at this point. Both are smart business men and believe me, they make plenty of money. I think Wlad got a shitload of money just from fighting Thompson, he's sold rights to RTL, HBO and who knows what else. Thompson made "only" a million or so, Wlad more than ten times that.

    I don't think they'll ever square off. If they do it would be great, but i doubt it'd be more than a sparring session...

    ...I suppose you're right there Chris. Good post.

    What did Wlad make for Thompson, more or less? Any idea?
