Klitschko files complaint !!!

[JohnnyKickAss]

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has filed a complaint against the WBC at the International Court of Arbitration for Sport to try to avoid making two mandatory defenses in a row. Klitschko is slated to face mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Gomez on March 21, with the winner to face ex-champ Oleg Masklaev within 120 days. Klitscho prefers to make a more lucrative voluntary defense after the Gomez fight, saying “the fight with Maskaev won’t be interesting for me or the spectators.”

Damn right...screw Maskaev...what did he do to earn another titleshot?

I'm with klits on this one..who wants to see him curb stomp maskev ?? Waste of time.

[Master]

He knows he will have to fight him but does not want to look bad in the eyes of the fans so he is using this ploy. No way will he give up the title.

Damn right...screw Maskaev...what did he do to earn another titleshot?

Maskaev filed a lawsuit against the WBC for not following their own rules in regards to the purse split in the Sam Peter fight. (The champ is supposed to get 70% or so for title fights that go to purse bid; however, Don King successfully lobbied Jose Sulliman to declare that Peter should get a 50/50 split.) As a part of the settlement of the law suit Maskeav gets the next titles shot.

So he earned it by getting in the ring against Peter and getting KOed.

Vitali only has a few fights left in him.....I doubt he wants to waste time fighting guys like JCG and Maskaev.

Valuev is the #1 target for Vitali....but that will never happen as Nicolay is a little bitch and won't fight a good heavyweight

Yeah mate, Vitali needs to put Valuev on his arse. Strange how even after Valuev lost he and his guys are still too scared to risk him in a competitive fightIt would make a lot of cash.

[WelshDevilRob]

Vitali is quite right not to want this fight forced apon him.

He is making a mandatory against Gomez so should not be expected to fight Maskaev in 120 days. 12 months Yes but not 3.
He was honourable in agreeing to fight Gomez when he could easily have dumped the belt and fought Haye.

Well done Vitali - tell the WBC where to put it.

[Galaxy]

I'd prefer Vitali to target someone like Chagaev if he gets by Gomez!

Maskaev ain't done sh*t & would be pointless!!!

[Taeth]

Wait are you guys sure Vitali isn't ducking him? Considering all the Klitschko hate on here, I am surprised nobody is complaining about him doing this.

[DaxxKahn]

I support him on this...Vitaly Klitschko is the most dangerous man in the HW division (Though these days that says little)...He hits like a train, he can box, he has a jaw of steel and he LIKES to beat guys up......

It would be a blow out for him to face Maskaev...I think even the WBC knows it thats why the 120 day time period maybe?...It would be nothing more then a sparring session...

Vitaly wants to clean up the biggest names in the division then retire.....

Credit as well for not wanting to give shit fights in a shit division

[Spicoli]

Pure un adulterated politics with Maskaev even being talked of.His shot was with Peter.....he lost.Vitali spanked Peter.Time to wash the hands and get that division back to a respectful and fan friendly state with some forward motion.

[Master]

In short Vitali has to clear up the mess that the WBC made and waste his time on this pointless fight.

[Drago]

this situation reminds me of when lewis didnt want to fight ruiz, it does nothing for them & doesnt bring a whole lot of money.cant remember who lewis fought instead? but he got stripped didnt he?

[Hunter]

Good for VK.....I would not want to see Maskaev get KO'ed again....

I would be interested in seeing VK and Valuev.....It would be a sight seeing Valuev getted floored..........
