Klitschko Wants Valuev Bout in 2007

[bcollins]

why doesn't Klitschko want a bout with Briggs or Peter?

#1 he already beat the shit out of Sam Peter....the only thing a rematch would solve is how fast can Wlad KO Sam Peter

#2 The deal was almost done with Briggs but Shannon didn't like it....he could have made $1 Million....instead he chose Lyakhovich and made 400,000.

Don King doesn't want his boys in with Wladimir and THAT is the bottom line

I gotta disagree with you on the Peter fight. He didn't really hurt Peter until the last round, and that was mostly because Peter was exhausted by then. SP was handling Wlad's power a whole hell of lot better than Wlad was handling Peter's - especially since Peter was eating jabs and straight rights all night. I don't think Wlad KO's Peter in a rematch...I think we see a repeat of the first fight, with Wlad winning through superior skill.

Wlad is, IMO, the best HW out there at the moment, hands down. But no way does he just walk over Peter in a rematch. Chances are very good he'd have to get off the canvas to do it the second time around, also.

I think Wlad beats Briggs, too....but Briggs has enough power to make it interesting, at least for a round or two.
