Honestly, my theory is he doesn't even want to give it a real shot at heavyweight.... He didn't want to be exposed by a lesser heavyweight, so he's just going after the biggest and baddest... If he wins by chance, he can claim to be the best heavyweight.. Well, good luck to him, and on a single night anything can happen.. That does not make him the best heavyweight out there until he defends....
But if he loses, he can go off saying "well, at least I fought the best, and you can't complain about losing to the best out there"....
I don't think it's out of courage that he's gone after Wlad & Vitali, I think it's out of fear of being beaten and being exposed by a lesser heavyweight... I guess the old cliche "no shame in losing to the best" is what he feels he can fall back on if he doesn't deliver as promised at heavyweight.... I still think he should have made an honest go and taken a fight or 2 at heavyweight before fighting one of the Klitchco's... And they should have demanded that of him...
Now he's going to get his head knocked off and boxing will be none the better for it..
