Wlad Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibragimov in the works

**** you Jim, your'e a ****** if you don't want unification in the HW division.

Only a true hater wouldn't want to see Wld or any other HW unify.....................

 

I'm sure Punisher33 really wants wants unification just so long as it isn't Wlad who comes out on top. Then he'll feel even dumber than he already does.

 

i believe he did.

you see the genius we are faced with here? there is no stopping jack.

 

He's still a fake boxing fan IMO............................. :yep

 

Wlad TKO7 Ibragimov.

 

Holyfield hit Ibragimov, Klitschko will hit him too. However, Holyfield is much easier to hit than Klitschko. Ibragimov must be thinking about the money, because it can't be glory of winning which is the incentive.

 

indeed

yep, he's more a fan of race, rather than talent :good

 

:yep

 

Here's a new article on it from the main page.

21.10.07– By Adrian Saba: It could have been said that the most relevant fight in the heavyweight division, months ago, was the rematch between Wladimir Klitschko and Sam Peter. After his victory against James Toney, Peter acquired prestige –it’s amazing what a single fight can do– but now that prestige has diminished. After his Pyrrhic victory over Jameel McCline, a man that wasn’t even close to the Top 20, a lot have been talked about the mistakes and errors of Peter, and it has been said that he possesses a “glass jaw," who knows.

What is certain is that the value of a rematch between Klitschko and Peter has decreased; now the most important fights, the ones that would decide who the Champion is, are other ones. In my opinion, there are two: Wladimir Klitschko versus Sultan Ibragimov or Wladimir Klitschko versus Ruslan Chagaev. For the moment, Samuel Peter is excluded from the equation, at least until he defeats Oleg Maskaev (if he defeats him, which is not sure).

Meanwhile, the World Boxing Council has its hands full with other things. After the fight between Maskaev and Peter, the winner will have to fight against Vitali Klitschko (if he plans to return anyway) and then against Juan Carlos Gomez or whoever is their next mandatory challenger. Forget about the World Boxing Council.

In retrospective, it is incredible that just some months ago unification would have been easy to organize. But there wasn’t luck. Wladimir Klitschko’s injury occurred post-Brewster and also the cancellation of the duel between Chagaev and Ibragimov. Let’s hope that the rest of time we have to wait isn’t too much. Almost four years have passed since Lennox Lewis retired.

 

Very interesting, I honestly think Sultans people dont want this fight, unless he gets a huge pay day I dont see this fight happening.

Sultan could fight Golota and make almost the same amount of money for it, you could look as far as ESB and see How popular Golota is. It would probably be an easy fight for him and would be a pretty marketable fight IMO.

 

I hope Sultan's and his Warriors Boxing crew sees this for what it is: not only a big payday, but also a chance to help Sultan's bread and butter, the heavyweight division.

But I think Sultan also needs to see it as not a bad situation for him, even if he were to take his first loss. He'll certianly recover and probably won't fall very far in rankings, and will forge ahead, even with his unbeaten record blemished. And he'll still have that big bank account, even in defeat. Someone is going to beat him, eventually, so why go ahead and get it over with, with a big name, big money, unifying fight? LOL

Let's hope he will take the fight. On a site that is confidential about its boxing, Sultan's cornerman was saying using the word definiite, and he also said that Sultan wanted the fight, and the sound of what he said was that the fight was pretty certain.

But, we shall see. I, too, have my doubts about Sultan taking the fight and the risk, but, we shall see...........:good

 

The biggest threat right now to Wlad is Chagaev.

I think Sultan will get destroyed, and destroyed early at this point. He doesn't have a good straight left...you can't loop punches against Wlad like he does and get away with it.

It's hard to see anyone really beating Wlad right now.
