Vitali Wants a Re-match !?

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Vitali wants to knock him out. I figure we might as well let him have another go at it.

1. I think the primary reason for this is to drive Haye crazy, threatening to take away both of Haye's potential opponents (himself and Chisora) in one shot.

2. He fought the whole fight one-handed with a shoulder injury and some people thought it was close (if 8-4 is close) and that he's gotten old, so I think he'd like to try to prove otherwise with both hands against the same guy.

3. And it's not like there's any other great and deserving opponent out there in this weak-ass division.

Vitali would have to leave his beloved Germany though, carnt see them wanting Del-Boy back after his visit

It would push Haye's nose out of joint, but to be fair, if that fight was gonna happen, i feel it would of by now.

Also Haye fought the whole fight with Wlad with a broken toe, which is worse than a poorly shoulder surely

Pathetic if true, Chisora was only chosen because he took the fight for peanuts.

I agree that there's zero need for a rematch, but honestly, who cares? It's not like we're missing out on some other all-time classic fight pitting Vitali against someone who would be competitive. Short of the brothers actually fighting each other, I can't think of a single championship fight that's competitive or intriguing

I think you might be right... I can only think of povetkin who isnt too bad but I think he and his trainer still dont want the klitschkos.. I'd like to see Solis back I think he has good talent and could be the best of the rest if he adjusts his attitude(and loses half his body weight :S).. I doubt either will happen this year though...

Povetkin is probably the 3rd best just now(apart from haye) he would be an acceptable name to beat..


I guess the klitschkos need american or british tv money though so it'll probably be haye or chisora next for vitali......

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Yeah, I agree. I'd like to see Solis bring himself back up to the championship level to have a rematch with Vitali. The first match was disappointing.

That is true, just goes to show how weak the HW division is.

[Master]

Yes agreed we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel if we are seeing possible rematches against fighters already beaten. The divison is a joke, think Eric44 could be next in line soon.

[Majesty]

So its come down to taking rematches with people just to knock them out?
