    Now that Vitali is fighting Kevin Johnson it became once again obvious that he wants to end his career without a win over a truly great boxer. Having his best win against Samuel Peter (which makes him hardly better as a boxer than let's say Eddie Chambers) he continues picking up unknown fighters with a blown up record against weak opposition (Kirk Johnson, Danny Williams, Chris Arreola).

    Not only he's again trying to explain how dangerous his next opponent is, he admits that his last opponent Arreola has a bad boxing technique (which makes him not a world class fighter).

    "Kevin Johnson is dangerous. He has already fought 23 times, is undefeated and is technically superior to Arreola."

    How can he know he is dangerous? Find me an opponent he has beaten who makes him look dangerous?
    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=173416&cat=boxer

    Technically superior to Arreola? Who isn't?

    Aren't you tired of this coward running from the best opposition?

    He is running from:
    Nikolay Valuev
    Oleg Maskaev (Maskaev has beaten him in the amateurs)
    Hasim Rahman (4 times)
    David Tua
    James Toney
    Andrew Golota
    Alexander Povetkin
    Eddie Chambers
    Odlanier Solis

    Where are those fights? How can a long reigning WBC champion be judged on fights against Danny Williams, Corrie Sanders and Samuel Peter? What did those guys achieve?

    And now for the last part this is what he (height 6′ 7½″, heavyweight) said being asked why he doesn't want to fight James Toney (5′ 10″, former middleweight) :

    May, 2004
    Vitali Klitschko:
    "I wouldn't want to fight him [Toney] since it's a no-win-situation for me. He is very uncomfortable to fight. If I beat him, everbody will say: "Oh, he beat a middleweight!" And if somethings happens and I don't win, they'll say: "A middleweight beat a heavyweight!""

    source in russian:
    http://www.sport-express.ru/newspaper/2004-05-25/13_1/

    At least this embarassing coward is going to retire soon.

    Nikolay Valuev-is fighting Haye in november.
    Oleg Maskaev (Maskaev has beaten him in the amateurs)-Hasn't fought a dedent opponent in ove a year,would be mismatch.
    Hasim Rahman (4 times)-Are you kidding?
    David Tua-Good shout but David just came back after a 2 year hiatus
    James Toney-He's busy fighting the Matthew Greers of the owrld.
    Andrew Golota-Fighting Adamek next week.Would have been a good shout 5 year or more ago anyway.
    Alexander Povetkin-Should have had a fight in the US next,mando for Wlad.
    Eddie Chambers-Mnado for Wlad.
    Odlanier Solis-He's phat and just fought.

    That is all.

    Without the "Abraham was loosing on points" this would be the dumbest thread of the week. Vitali running from strong opposition :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Maskaev is done, Vitali beat the **** uot of the man who demolished Oleg (Peter)
    Valuev does not want to fight either Klitschko (he hat chances that Chagaev took afterwards)
    Rahman would be killed now and would have been demolished some years ago
    Tua is just bilding up again
    Toney is done
    Golota is more than done
    Povetkin is running fron the Klitschkos (and in line for Wladimir)
    Chambers is in line for Wladimir
    Solis is just fat and overrated
    .

    why would you bother listing people that are not available to fight? what's the point - to prove how stupid you are?

    must be.

    The fact is there is no stiff competition for him to fight, he won't fight his brother so that's that. There isn't anybody else. The heavyweight division is empty.

    Danny Williams was then as capable of beating him as anyone. Except when he wasn't.

    So why not waiting until they are? How stupid are you?
    There must be a reason Vitali is in a hurry for fighting the next bum. If he never contacts them they'll be busy with their own fights and never be available.

    Nikolay Valuev (beaten by 39 year old Larry Donald)
    Oleg Maskaev (Knocked out cold by Kirk Johnson in 4 :lol: and Sam Peter as well)
    Hasim Rahman (Knocked out and landed outside the ring by Maskaev, then TKOd again)
    David Tua (the best fight Vitali can make right now)
    James Toney (beaten by Sam Peter twice)
    Andrew Golota (deer in headlights)
    Alexander Povetkin (has to grow balls to fight his brother first)
    Eddie Chambers (barely won against a 270 pound Peter coming off a drubbing by Vitali)
    Odlanier Solis (good fight)

    Add this to my previous answer. Nice example.
    Valuev admitted he even called Vitali personally to make the fight happen but Vitali didn't want to. He prefers Kevin "the dangerous" Johnson instead of the WBA belt.

    So he should wait 6 months especially at his age for Haye to do his tap dance in the press again and pull out?

    This fight will let Haye actually accomplish something before fighting either brother.
