I heard that Vitali may meet Roman in September.
So Champion Emeritus status means that you can always come back but you cannot fight for the belt?
I thought he was by the rules the number one contender if he ever came back. Strange. ???

So Roy Jones Jr coming up from weight to fight Ruiz and Hopkins fighting OLeg any better???? But I see what ya saying, Vitali will go on to knockout Peter in 10 rounds, Well I mean by TKO! But Oleg can crack, So why is everyone including myself x-ing him out already..............Screw I think Oleg will make an upset!

As far as Olg goes I agree I think I stated it in a post a while ago....Oleg has had a hell of a time making it to World Champion and he had some stumbling blocks during the years...So Even though I don't favor him over anyone I would not be suprised if he kept his title in a bout....
Oleg is a capable guy that has the skills to hang with any one of them in the division....but it is not Olegs ability that will fail him...it is his chin ;)
Vitali vs Greenburg would be good.....I always like seeing Vitali end his fights early.
As for Oleg's chin it has withstood some pretty big punches.....Rahman anyone??? It's just it failed him vs Kirk Johnson and Lance Whittaker, and Corey "T-Rex" Sanders
All his 5 losses have been ko losses and against a puncher like Sam Peter this is'nt good
True but he also beat big punchers like Rahman and he took David Tua into the 11th in a very close fight until he was KO'dQuote:

Sh*t..Greenberg is in for a beating and early ;),seen him up close and to be honest i'd rather chop my knob off than watch him from ringside again ;D
A plodder at best,Vitali will murder him inside 3 easily.
True but Rahman has a suspect chin and Tua still ko'd himQuote:

that lennox ko needed lennox's own momentum off the ropes to happen. But i agree if he had to be classified as something in the sport of boxing it would be a puncher, not a great one, but a puncher none the lessQuote:
