Why did Vitaly duck a Byrd rematch?

Vitali had zero reason to duck Byrd. Vitali would have knocked Byrd out. Vlad beat the crap out of Byrd easily, won every round, then in the rematch Vlad knocked him out, really hurt him.

 

What Wlad did in his career certain effected what Vitali did as Wlad won all the other titles making it impossible for Vitali to even try to get them, but who Wlad fought does not effect who Vitali fought.

Byrd did not become worthless just because Wlad beat him and a fight between Vitali and Byrd did not lose its potential importance either, especially when Byrd was IBF Champion and Vitali was WBC Champion.

Bottom line is; boxing is not a tag team sport and implying that's there is no justifiction for Vitali having a need to rematch Byrd and avenge his quit-job loss because his brother "took care of Byrd instead" is cheap excuse.

 

Kovalev not on your list? I keep reading how devastating he is

 

Unfortunately boxing is less about 'getting revenge' and more about boxing politics. Sometimes promoters/sanctioning organizations get in the way of what would be desirable from a fan's perspective.

 

And I would have no problem with people using the "boxing politics" or "money" argument for why Vitali/Byrd 2 never happened, but I do have a problem when people use Wlad's win over Byrd to justify it.

 

Yes, Vitali didn't avenge. There was no point. Wladimir took the title from Byrd. Byrd without a title was pointless. Byrd signed Don King and got into King's game. King bought him a title and put weak opponents against him. King wouldn't let Byrd fight Vitali. King is a good businessman. He know when he will loose. So Byrd wouldn't fight Vitali.

Anyways, Vitali beats Byrd even retired and running for president. Byrd just got lucky. He was a very good fighter but Vitali was just better.

 

Funny you claim to only limit your hate towards(a fighter BTW who really doesnt behave your typical ******* who deserves hate) Adamek because he couldnt KO McBrideatschWhat is your excuse for showing up and talking **** every time any Pole fights?

Interesting learning you are German. Makes sense as to why you always take shots under you breath at Poles,Jews,Turks, Blacks, Ukranians and Russians. You are simply repeating what you were tought in your household growing up. You know your whole master race theory.

No wonder why this guys has been banned for racism on other sites:verysadCant seem to figure out what keeps him going here.
