WTF ???
I read this, and immediately I thought back to my Sports Illustrated from a couple weeks ago. In that, Wlad said regarding his standing atop the division this.
"I'm top. I'm not as top as I'd like to be, but I'm topper then the others."
And how exactly is fighting Austin, Brewster and Rahman in 2007 going to make Wlad as top as he'd like to be? This better not go through. The only person I want to see fight Rahman right now is Wlad's brother, Vitali Klitschko. But I'm not even sure he ever gets in the ring again.
It looks like Wlad is becoming the Joe Calzaghe of the heavyweight division.
Everyone knows Wlad would fight ANYONE put infront of him....Don King is behind this!Quote:

I doubt a Rahman fight happens unless a unification fight is out of reach
He hasnt beaten Brewster yet ;)
....Is Lamon going to lose another trainer??Quote:

Hope Hasim dies of skin cancer. He's been on HBO just about as much as Tyson! haha
WTH...
And Klit isn't getting off this one too easy either.
When the hell are the titles going to be unified. All this hbo talk.
I understand Austin, and I understand Brewster. But he's said a bunch of times that he wants a big fight. Well, a big fight would be another titlist. And there is no way a unification bout is out of reach. For 1, Ibragimov hasn't even won his title yet. So I doubt they got into any type of negotiations. Maskaev and Peter haven't fought yet. And he should try hard for Maskaev. Really, his camp should, honestly.Quote:

If he's going to fight Rahman, he should have either dropped the IBF or realized that or not fought Brewster. Don't really care what the circumstances are, that is a pathetic year for a top heavyweight.
cc Back. Wlad shouldnt be looking past anyone, especially a guy who knows he can knock him out. Brewster has to win if he wants to re-establish his career and he will come to fight like he did vs. Golata.Quote:

Wladimir's November opponent is.......
going to get knock the fwock out ;D
yeah i really hope this is not true! wlad needs to unify or atleast take one mandatories we give a F about
Seeing how the brothers have gone about their matches this makes sense. As someone pointed out, i think it's also redemption for vitali not fighting rahman. The only thing that would complete this chain is wlad fighting lewis if he comes out of retirment but i don't think he'd even beat a washed up lewis to be honest. I mean Wlad got byrd for vitali and Vitali got brewster for wlad but i too would rather see him fight a titlist. I'm sure after Briggs and Wlad are done with their current fights, there will be negotiations started.
I pray the Rahman rumors are exactly that.....Wlad needs to unify the division....Quote:

I get a good feeling about Brewster in this fight. He knows he can knock him out. If this fight goes into the later rounds and Vlad gets a little tired he can turn out the lights on Vlad. Brewster should jump right on Vlad and try to stop him early.Quote:
