The difference with Ali and Lewis is they also fought and won big career defining "superfights". Vitali is yet to do that and shouldnt be wasting his time with Sosnowski. It's not going to improve his record. I agree it would be hard for Sosnowski to underachieve here but that isn't what we should be expecting from an opponent in a world title fight is it? Just to hang on for a few rounds?
Then please tell me whom should he fight? Give me 5 names (besides his brother) that he should fight AND that want to fight him...
Lol. I wondered how long it would be: There are 8 fighters in the WBC's top ten who he hasn't fought (all ranked above Sosnowski). Pick one. And don't tell me 8 out of the 10 won't fight him. By the way, none of those are David Haye.
8 out of 10 won't fight him. Yeah that sounds about right. I think he tried for Valuev and Solis but both took a pass. Povetkin and Botsoyv aren't interested. Honestly the only fighter on that list who would be willing to fight is Peter, and Vitali cleaned is clock not too long ago.
OK, so let´s see: Solis = same result as Vitali vs. Peter Valuev = refused to fight Povetkin = not ready to fight a Klitschko (says his trainer)+in line for Wladimir Boystov = to early to be fed to a Klitschko Adamek = last fight was 2010-04-24 Rossy = Derric who? Boxrec 34... Banks = Boxrec 37... Peter = already wooped his ass Thompson = last fight was 2010-04-16 That is TWO opponents higher ranked by the WBC that would be avaliable AND in the region of Sosnowski. Solis is about 30 kg overweight and Boystov is clearly not ready for a Klitschko...
Im sure the WBC doesnt give a toss what Boxrec thinks. There is no reason Adamek or Thompson couldnt step in in a couple of months. As for Solis, regardless what you think of him, he is still the number one contender!
Boytsov just had surgery on his hand, he isn't available anyway, even if he wanted. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/boytsov-surgery-successful-45463
And Solis refused to fight Vitali. Boystov is injured. Vitali vs. Adamek sounds like a funny fight but people will say Adamek is just a blown up cruiser. But it would be an interesting fight in a couple of months. BUT HE IS NOT AVALIABLE AT THE MOMENT Rossy lost to Dimitrenko goddamit (TKO 5), not a snowballs chance in hell he can beat Vitali or make it a good fight. Banks has one good name in his resume Adamek to whom he lost...
Who really cares about WBC rankings? For me it´s about who is the better fighter. In my book Rossy and Banks are by far les worthy to fight for a belt than Sosnowski.
If I were Vitali Klitschko i'd care. He holds their belt and theyre the reason he's a world champion.
But do you really think that either Rossy or Banks have a better chance to beat Vitali than Sosnowski? THat ranking is just pathetic. What I am telling the whole time is that both Klitschkos fight the best opposition avaliable. Considering that Sosnowski is good opposition...
