    Why the hell would anyone want to see these guys fight again, let alone see Chris Bryd fight ever again.

    Well it goes something like this. Maskev and Peter fight for the WBC belt next, whenever that happens, with Vitlai getting the winner which could be as late as June 2008.

    Vitali has said he wants to fight in February 2008, possibly on the under card of Wlad's next fight. I have heard some speculation that Vitlai wants Chirs Byrd almost as bad has he wants Lennox Lewis. Byrd for his part is in boxing for the money. He'll fight Vitlai in Germany because if he somehow wins, he gets the winner of Maskeav vs Peter, which is a winnable fight for Byrd.

    The fight makes sense.

    Revenge, Delusion and Money are three key ingredients that make boxing world go round. Vitlai K vs Chris Byrd II touches all three bases.

    Byrd should try to get a few $ fights that won't leave him daim bramaged before he retires.

    Vit Klit would slaughter Byrd. I don't want to see that.

    Byrd should just run around the ring, forcing Vitlay to use his injured knee/back whatever it is tomorrow, to its maximum.

    How funny would another Vitlay retirement on the stool due to injury be???

    Byrd was beaten badly in his last couple fights, another beating from Vitaly won't do him any good. The only good thing is watching his wife when he loses.

    The thought of Vitaly on the same card with Wlad is enticing. The problem is will Vitaly ever get in the ring again? A bout between he and Byrd isn't high on my personal wish list of fights but it does make some sense. I highly doubt this fight happens.

    like many im a big vitali fan but at this point ive given up on him fighting again. if he does, it'll be a bonus. once is ok, twice is a coincidence, three times is bad luck but after four and five pullouts its clear his body cant make it through a training camp which is a shame. Vitali needs to '**** or get off the pot' :yep

    As has been said, Rahman is Vitali's obvious and best choice.

    A Byrd rematch, after Byrd was just beaten by the still green Povetkin, would be a terrible move for Vitali. He might as well fight some bum off the street, than to fight Byrd after he's no longer credible. Povetkin ruined the Byrd name in one fight.

    VK vs. Rahman is what I'd like to see for VK's comeback. Rahman is not a world dominator, but is still credible enough to be seen as a ballsy choice for VK after surgery and being idle for three years plus. Not to mention that they have somewhat of a history together from their fight that never happened.

    not to mention Rachman has been active and seems to be getting in good shape and keeping his weight in check. That at least makes it credible
