i dont really think its right that vitali gets a title shot straight away. but even if oleg did fight sam peter instead of vitali i can still see him getting beat and losing his title.
but vitali fighting byrd would achieve nothing if you ask me. byrd won by default realy and vitali would just give him another klitchiko beating if they faught again.
You caught me, I was thinking about the days when RJJ trained out of Kronk Gym. :DQuote:

I think that Byrd can beat alot of the old names, and guys like Ray Austin wouldn't present much trouble for him to out point.
I'm starting to think though that a Byrd/Guinn fight would be a pretty match up. That and I'd like to see that and a Vitali/Peter fight.
Too bad he didn't stay at middleweight, that's where the action has shifted to these years, and I still remember the fast pace, and punches that made a few of us think that Byrd was the next best thing way back when.
peter has goten better but i still think bryd would outbox him. i've wanted to see bryd toney but the fight becomes interesting because toney keeps getting fatter.
No way in hell Sam has a chance at beating Vitali. Sam won't take a rematch with Wlad either.
About the only competition facing either Klitschko is the OTHER Klitschko.
