Why did the Klitschkos wait till Rahman, Briggs etc etc etc were old?

    Barrett was a contender in 2005. It was seen as an ok win for Rahman.

    Umm,

    1. Lewis was older than Tyson
    2. Maybe if Tyson hadnt raped that girl and spent the early 90's in prison the fight may have happened then.
    3.Maybe if Tyson hadnt got himself banned for 18 months by biting Holyfields ear,they may have fought then.
    4.Maybe if Tyson hadnt got beat up by Holyfield twice(Holyfield was also much older than Tyson),they could have fought for the undisputed title instead of Lewis having to fight Holyfield and beat him.
    5. Comparing a 40 year old Shannon Briggs and 36 year old Rahman to a 35 year old Tyson is dumb.

    Are those the reason you talk about?
