Vitali Doesnt Deserve a Shot

[plinden]

at Maskaev. He was a coward against Byrd and for pulling out out of the Rahman fight, and now he wants a title shot after he retires. Im not even so sure he deserves a shot at any top 20 guys. He can work his way back up like everyone else (Holyfield,Tua, Moorer,McCall, Morrison... need I go on) Who the hell did he ever beat to be in a position to call shots?

LEGALLY a stoppage on wounds is a LOSS, but we all know what a real loss is; its being shown a worse boxer, and having a knee or elbow accident doesnt do that.











Thats just madness talking ...Such things can get you put into state hospitals...Vitaly a coward??....Vitaly not worthy?....Work his way up and then you put in Morrisons name of all people....Vitaly was the man of the division...He was never beaten...Except maybe in the Lewis fight depending on how you look at it...On the cards yes he was ahead but was stopped on cuts....Vitaly would knock Maskaev into another sport...He would be a tennis player after that fight.....Rahman doesnt go 3 rds and his arm almost was dead in the Byrd fight and he was dominating....Should he get a title shot right away no of course not Sam Peter deserves that honor hands down but IMO within 3 fights he deserves a shot...He left because of injuries...If not for them he would still be the undisputed champion

Alright maybe i was a little harsh calling him a coward, but
1. He HAS been beaten
2. Obviously he didnt wasnt to get injured but injuries happen as a result of the fight so Byrd and Lewis won. I guess McCline never lost to Valuev then too huh....its part of the sport
3 I agree that Sam Peter has been fighting his @ss off, while Vitali has done nothing in two years so there is not much of an argument as to who deserves a shot at Maskaev
