Well that would be the guy that has the WBA belt, he's the hold up. He had 2 opportunities to fight either Klitschko brother and he tucked tail and ran away which was probably better for his career but it's bad for his wallet and the sport in general.
I agree that the unification fight MUST happen but once it got delayed/put off and Wlad had to fight Chagaev then 2 mandatories lined up and now he has to fight them next regardless of how big of a fight it would be if Wlad fought the WBA title holder. All I can do is hope that Povetkin loses or gets injured again and Ruiz is KO'd with ease to hype up the fight.
The WBA has virtually destroyed the heavyweight division. Sure the competition as it is right now isn't all that great but couple that with the top rankers in the WBA being unwilling to fight anyone of note then you not only have a weak heavyweight division you have a weak heavyweight division with a sideshow of even weaker competition.
