Vitali defending his WBC 7 times in 1 year.

Read carefully.

Boxing is fragmented, the divisions are too many and we have 4 legit organisations in each weight class with each belt as bad as the other. Looking at the rankings, there are certain fighters that would not be there if boxing was properly structured. What would be the reaction of the hardcore (you guys) and the casual fan if a fighter who was good enough, literally tore the rankings into shreds, by fighting everyone on there in quick time.

A case study of Vitali Klitshcko, adominant champ for the last 4 years and in general does not take punishment in fights. A TV deal with RTL, giving him good money and allowing himself to be shown in a big German market and paying opponents, if North America or Britain (big markets) etc wants to watch him they can pay for the rights or not. It doesn’t matter we know he is popular in Germany and has a deal in place. What would be the reaction if Vitali took on the following opposition over the next 12 months, forget his talk of retirement, forget long training camps as they could easily be substituted for 3-4 weeks rather than 8-12 weeks with less rest time in between, just think what your reaction would be if he did take on the opponents I suggested. Again, I want to know what the reaction would be if this did take place, not it wouldn’t happen.

As far as im aware, a champion of the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF must fight someone ranked in the top 15? Please correct me if im wrong. Therefore looking at the rankings, I can’t help but use Vitali as an example, he holds the WBC Belt.

WBC- All these men are ranked in the top 15 as of Decemeber 2011. All records are current, so over a year, guys fighting Vitali might have 1 or 2 more wins on there records.

Jan E. Molina 18-1 6’5 229 (Ranked 10th)
Mar C. Arreola 34-2 6’4 235 (Ranked 1st)
May F. Lawrence 17-2-2 6’3 234 (Ranked 13th)
Jul A. Dimtrenko 32-1 6’7 250 (Ranked 2nd)
Sep B. Stiverne 21-1-1 6’2 238 (Ranked 3rd)
Oct D. Rodriquez 35-0 6’4 250 (Ranked 15th)
Dec M. Wach 26-0 6’7 ½ 248 (Ranked 9th)

Of course I took into account the fact that not every top fighter ranked in the WBC would take on Vitali so soon, guys like Helenius, Fury, Ortiz, Boystov want to win titles and are perhaps waiting for Vitali to retire also perhaps Klitshcko camp would take easier fights after a tougher oppoenent, so i took this into account.

P.S I posted this into the UK forum as well at the main and Lounge as different posters are only in certain forums.

 

Did you read carefully? A reaction if it happend, not comment of unlikely. Who would have thought O. Beck, A. Sosnowski would fight for world titles.

If you read, we know he has cushy deal with RTL, I just wanted to understand what the reaction would be if it did happen.


My view would be, that alot of the opponents were sub standard but i would be happy that a top fighter was fighting this often, and in sense clearing out dead wood.

Much prefer matchups with Helenius, Boystov etc and Haye but the first two look to be waiting and have serious ambition to be champs, and Haye well you dont know if he wants it.

 

uhuh

 

:rofl

 

So your thought would be that Vitali would make boxing less popular doing this? Fighting 7 times in one calender year>

 

True, so do you think boxing should stick to twice a year?

 

Nice post, yeah looking back thats not bad is it, 3 good fighters in 8 months. The thing again is if people read the post you would know its hypotehcial, I mean you could throw in D. Boystov and if I thought Helenius camp would want it...im sure the fight would be made.

I made the list from what i saw as the ranking of the WBC, and thought about which guys would take a decent pay day to fight, on the list are only a few serious contenders, Arreola,Wach, Dimtrenko but the main thing would be the reaction of the public and the hardcore.

 

It's a possible schedule, due to how crap most of the names are on there, but it's never going to happen and seeing that anyone who follows boxing closey knows that I can't believe you wasted 5 minutes typing that or, conversely, I wasted 1 minute typing this.

Same reaction on general as well.
