Wlad asked me as a favor to him to work with Vitali since Im here in La anyways (I live 20 minutes from Vitali's house) Then Vitali could see and feel the difference. Said "I should have used you since I can back"..."I see why Wlad insists you and you only cook for him" Great moment for me. looks like I cook for both now. Only cook for Vitali, NO trainingcamp manager, but thats fine with me:hey:hey
The Klitschkos have a lot of class and from what I've seen are fan friendly. American boxers could use some of that!!!
Vitali should keep fighting- nobody is going to touch him for a long time. If he doesn't want to do it on a regular basis, then he could give up the belt and just fight when it strikes him. But it is a little sad that a guy that is head and shoulders above everyone except a guy who shares his name might hang it up soon.
As Vitali to buy you a nice, new house closer by. It would be your bonus - he can afford it :thumbsup
Eventually Valuev\Haye\Ruiz whoever comes out on top of that WBA cluster **** will have to fight a Klitschko. They can't run forever.
I'm afraid King will prevent the Klitschkos from the WBA title also. Wladimir was able to get away with getting an IBF title shot because he earned his shot up the rankings but with Vitali and Wladimir both champions and being unranked in the WBA it'll probably take some options and money.
Actually yes Wladimir worked his way up to the IBF mandatory, but DK even tried to screw him out of that. Wlad was ranked #2 or 3 after he fought Davarryl Williamson and was in line for a shot at Byrd, then Don King managed to get Williamson to leapfrog Wlad in the ratings and Williamson got the fight. Wlad I think began a lawsuit over it but dropped it and decided to prove he deserved the shot in the ring. Wlad then got the shot a Byrd once Byrd left Don King.
Even IF Valuev or Haye wanted to face Vitali, they won't. At least not in the near future. The WBA has their own set of contenders and mandatories who will get their shots first. John Ruiz, Chagaev, maybe even Holyfield, and then John Ruiz again.
nonsense, Haye only went 12rds ONCE, against a journeyman, and he couldn't even finish him. Haye may have his moments against Vitali, but he won't last long enough to make it tell - I see Vitali stopping an exhausted Haye in the middle rounds.
The clash of the giants brings lots of $$$. But it is a wise, economic decision to cash out as long as possible. Valuev - Haye definitely is a marketable fight. After that Haye vs. Ruiz - why not? The new Ruiz is fun to watch. Or (more likely IMHO) Valuev - Ruiz III - the previous fights were close, so a 3rd fight could bring the final decision. So at the end we, the casual fans like me, decide whether and when Vitali and Nikolai will meet in the ring.
