    Apparently, Sosnowski, Briggs, Johnson and Chisora were all the best available opponent at the time.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Those were Vitali's opponents, not Wlads.

    Apparently they were because I haven't heard anyone cry out loud that they didn't get a phone call asking if they're willing to fight.

    Oh wait, James Toney was crying out loud, but I guess most of us agree we shouldn't take him seriously.

    Why criticize him for staying active? There's nobody out there willing to fight him so it's better fighting an okay fighter than not fighting at all, don't you think?

    Ok so nobody is bashing Wlad but nobody is pumping up Chisora as a world beater. Its funny these week of the fight threads usuall have morons praising guys like Austin or Chambers and how they are gonna knock Wladimir cold.

    I think Chisora has as good a shot as anybody. He can take a shot and he can give a shot. He seems like a wild fighter who may be able to take Wlad out of his comfort zone.

    Im in no way trying to say Chisora wins but honestly who is left and this is a tune up Wlad fought like 2 or 3 months ago, this is a damn good tune up with a powerful and relatively unknown fighter wit hvery little tape to study and not much known about his ability at the top level

    I like the way Chisora has gone from a joke who will get KTFO within 4 rounds to a credible undefeated opponent.

    People around here are priceless.

    CHEF on a potential Haye-Johnson fight in early 2008 for Haye's HW debut.

    "Damn, I knew Haye was gonna cherry pick for this fight but he really picked the cherry field!"

    CHEF on a Vitali-Johnson fight a year later.

    "............"

    Sums up K2 fans.

    Nothing to do with Wladimir.

    Chagaev, Ring Magazine No. 3 and WBA Champion in regress after David Haye pulls out of the fight on short notice (14 days before the fight)

    March 2010 Eddie Chambers (WBO Mandatory)
    September 2010 Samuel Peter (IBF Mandatory after Povetkin pulls)

    2008
    February Sultan Ibragimov (Unification WBO Champion)
    July 2008 Toney Thompson (WBO Mandatory)
    December 2008 Hasim Rahman (IBF Mandatory after Povetkin pulls out)

    My point exactly. The namecalling begins and noone wants to debate the points. I asked about him fighting Chisora AND not rematching Sanders AND vITALI'S WEAK OPPONENTS AND the fact that you guys are actually giving props to Wladimir for fighting a 14 fight novice. But all you guys want to do is talk sh!t and namecall without facing up to the truth or answer any of my questions. Will someone step up and do that?

    Well, who else is there that is available and willing to fight Wlad in December? Agree, Chisora is a weak opponent, but fighting a weak opponent is better than not fighting at all.

    Besides, this is about Wlad, not Vitali, so why bring out Vitali? Wlad and Vitali may be brothers, but they're not the same person!!!! Wladimir Kiltschko has consistently beaten better opponents than Vitali, so why is this an issue?

    So to answer the question, he is not catching hell because who else should he fight that's willing, available, and able?

    Yes I am stepping up. Chisora is a **** bum. A nobody. Not at all excited about this fight. Happy now?

    But that doesn't change the fact that an entire group of contenders (Povetkin, Valuev, Haye, Boytsov etc. etc.) do not seem to be in any hurry whatsoever in getting in the ring with either brother. To the contrary, all these contenders are coming up with the most ridiculous excuses in order *NOT* to fight, hoping the Klits get older and eventually disappear.

    None of these challengers is willing to take a risk. Nobody wants to work anymore to get a belt. All of these crap contenders have to look into another line of work, boxing doesn't need them so much is certain.
