Vitali is staying away from boxing because he's gonna be in the Kiev elections. Overall, this has been ridiculous and pathetic. He announced his comeback in Febraury 2007. He still haven't had a ****in fight. Pathetic.
If he can beat Gomez, he will get it after Peter-Maskaev/Vitali Klitschko. But if he loses to JCG, he can kiss the title shot goodbye.
**** McCrackhead, who has he beaten to be concidered the #1 contender anyway? Isn't Virchis ranked higher than him?
Yeah thats what I thought, It just seems like fighters keep getting ****ed over by Vitali's lame comeback attempts.
Yes, Virchis is the number 1 contender in the WBC, but I think the WBC said McCall gets to fight the guy who emerges out of the Klitschko, Maskaev, Peter mess. If he beats Gomez, I think that would make him more worthy of a shot than Virchis, but at the moment, I think Virchis is every bit as/if not more worthy than McCall.
At least hes been active the past 3 years, he has beat a couple tough fighter like Sinan Samil Sam and Saleta.
All this means is that Britaly is going to hold the WBC title hostage all through 2008, even if he doesn't hold it.
