http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3383736 It was just a couple months ago that he canceled the Valuev rematch the first time. If he's really injured, he's injured. But at least have some sense of reasoning and step aside, as Vitali Klitschko did.
It's just absurd, some people have such bad luck. They should schedule Vitali Klitschko - Ruslan Chagaev, and then let everyone else get on with it. Someone can write a Vitali-Ruslan column in a medical journal to describe progress towards the fight!
well at least this is a legit injury unlike his "acute inflammation of the body" against Sultan :rofl The guy should be stripped ASAP but i bet the WBA continues to muddle things further....i feel pretty bad for the guy though. an acl tear is one of the worst sports injury u can suffer. he will permanently lose quite a bit of his mobility
Wlad should step in...ko valuev then thompson the following week...bum of the week club just clean this mess up. id almost rather wlad step in and cancel the thompson fight which is a complete waste of time. let tony have the wbo.
Yeah right, Wlad couldnt KO weak ass Iggy, who got knocked onto to ***** street by Journymen Ray Austin, Wlad lacks the mental toughness/killer instinct to knockout the granite chinned Valuev, Valuev has a better shot of knocking Wlad out, than Wlad knocking Valuev out.
He's got about 3 or 4 more postponements to go before he reaches the same point as Vitlay did before he stood aside hasn't he?
Giving Ruiz a belt would be about as legitimate as allowing him to "fight" (i.e. cheat) for it. King already went that route, and I doubt anybody's gonna replay that fraud. Thank goodness.
Blablablablablabla..... Wlad knocks Valuev out or ountpointed him out. So easy he did against Ibragimov. Wlad now has great defensive skills and he is too fast and technical for Valuev.
Chagaevs last good fight was two years ago, against Sprott... He only fought three times after that, and looked lackluster in all of them. This starts getting just as bad as when John Ruiz had the WBA strap.
