Why Do The Klitschkos Get Away With Not Fighting Each Other?

Some things are more important than boxing legacy or proving you are the undisputed best in your division, I would say not beating the **** out of your own brother is one of them.

Anyone who would call for this fight should question their motives for wanting to witness that.

 

One belt per class would fix this problem. Thats what I like about UFC. Only one belt per class. Who ever has the WBC belt is the real champ anyway. So Vitali is the real champ. But if they would have faced each other Vitali would have won. Wlad even admits that.

 

Don't know the answer to that, but I can't imagine the promoters/broadcasters are gonna want to pay out 2/3/4 sets of sanctioning fees on a fight. Think about it though - if the fighter just pays 1 sanctioning fee, and wins, what are the other alphabets gonna do? Say he ain't getting our belt 'cos he didn't pay us ffs?

Either way the sanctioning organisations opposition to unifiers is a matter of record - Google Sulieman + WBC + unification as an example. The rationale is obvious and it's apparent throughout the sport.

For what it's worth when I can be bothered pulling together more solid evidence and arguments I'll put a thread together, cos the role of the Sanctioning bodies and the influence they (and the Governing Organisations) have over the sport seems to be widely misunderstood and underestimated. - They ain't just a group of kindly referees overseeing the sport ouuta personal dedication and a sense of public duty tho..

edit: in case it's misunderstood;- I ain't a Klit fan - though I do respect their boxing achievements - the chip on my shoulder is about the bull**** politics and corruption in the organisations and individuals who 'manage' the sweet science.

 

because vitali can dance!

For once Derrick, my friend, I find myself in agreement with you. One belt has to be the best way.

Ain't gonna happen sadly, 'cos no-one wants to give up their slice of the pie - The Alphabets have each established a particular constituency who will continue to support 'em cos of the benefits they gain.

If anything it's about to become even worse with AIBA trying to enter the fray.

 

I wouldn't do it if I were them and I wouldn't want them to do it as a fan.

 

I actually agree. They are almost perceived to be some sort of tag team champions of the heavyweight division and it is terrible for boxing.

 

that's cool as $hit!

 

Even if they fight, it'll be a light sparring session. They won't throw punches for real so what's the point? Both guys will be jabbing all night and no power punches will be throw.

It's be a sham of a fight because neither guy will want to hurt the other guy. Imagine a fight with less action than most sparring sessions...that's the fight right there.

 

This.

Zombieguy (appropriate) is a lame troll and a hater. Go fight your brother for a few bucks, if you have one.

 

the hate just keeps on streaming outta these ****s...guys who wouldnt even fight there best friends in the ring to make a few bob (prob because they dont have any) starting threads about two brothers who refuse to fight each other...what a complete and utter idiot..
you obviously have no siblings but que you telling me you have 6 brothers who you fight with constantly because use are hardcore....watched the krays way to many times son

 

vitali is not the number two hw anymore tho and hasnt been for 2 years now...

 

I presume the thread starter thinks Dirrell is just as bad then for refusing to fight his friend and withdrawing from the super six?
