Now that Vlad has unified vs Sultan, the next fight should be against Chagaev and then the winner of Maskaev/Peter ...ANY OF the Boxing ORG's that do not support the unification and demand a fight Vs there mandatory like the IBF, WBA, WBA, SHOULD NOT be reconized by us the fans
I think Wlad said he wants his brother to fight Peter, while I see Valuev probably fighting Chagaev again, and maybe the winner of that fights Wlad.
Of course it is important but if it's gonna be played just like Wlad's and Sultan's unification . . . then the ALL BOXING GOVERNING bodies should just scratched the ****i'n heavy weight Division out of their organizations. :yep That fight is a SHAME for boxing.
:good I agree with you there, fights like the last one just shows how far the Heavyweight division has declined since the 90s.
He's probably gonna fight Tony Thompson in his next fight. As a poster said, it's almost a done deal. They he will fight Povetkin. Chagaev or Valuev, or Chagaev-Valuev winner, is an option for the next fight. Forget about Sam Peter or whoever is the WBC titlist. The WBC is a mess. The winner of Oleg-Peter has to fight Vitali, then the winner will fight Virchis or Gomez, and then the winner will fight Williams or Toney, without counting the voluntary defenses. But who cares? You will see the Peter will beat Oleg. Wlad has already beaten Peter.
Gerry Cooney Old Ali Mike Weaver(we would never here the end of it if Wlad took on a guy with a 19-7 record as a title defense) Leon Spinks 10-2-2 And Holmes is an ATG. Food for thought!
Vlad has to keep clearing out the heavyweight division, Don King will never allow him to unify all the titles. If Peter were to beat Maskaev, then I doubt if Don King will allow Vitali or Vlad to fight the winner. WBC does what Don King tells them to do.
He also held the belt for what for 7 years without losing, that see if Wlad could do that. He also beat hall of famer in Norton, as well beating ATG Ali, well out of his prime, though still better than most of the stiffs Wlads been facing, dont forget the legendary hitter in Shavers he faced as well, do you see Wlad getting up from the shot Holmes got hit with that night?
