Vitali has become a joke to me, only Peter & arguably Arreola are decent opponents on that list. I understand the Gomez fight, but Johnson & Sosnowski were completely unacceptable choices. If he actually fights Shannon Briggs then I will give up on this muthafukka.

Wlad has been unfairly maligned, but he has to me fought the best opposition he can even if he is behaving like a biitch trying to have Povetkin's title shot stripped because he didn't come to one measly press conference.

What with David Haye occasionally having to take a break from being a professional celeb to actually do some boxing, this division is remaining a joke when actually it should at least be getting a bit better than its current rep. Here's hoping for Adamek.
Wasn't Johnson a manadatory? So not as if Vitaly had a choice did he?

As for bums who is there for them to fight? Who? I mean between them the 2 brothers have pretty much slapped around every ranked opp there is so far....They really have no choices...Valuev is nothing to fear by anyone in the division...He lost to Haye...He lost to Chagaev....Chagaev gave the blue print...Haye rocked the shit out of him....And Vitali won't walk through Valuev as well?...I nsee no reason why he wouldn't...Valuev has a very very very suspect chin....The only reason I would like to see this fight go off is it would make history as the 2 largest men to even compete in a boxing match, largest Hewvyweight to ever face off and Largest men to ever compete in a world title bout...Other then that it would be a freak show and ugly fight
