Once again, Vitali:
1) Has had more than enough time to recover
2) Hasn't fought a credible Heavyweight in years
3) Would be willing to fight Rahman on Sept 24th if he was ready
But he can't fight James Toney?
It's a high profile fight, a big money fight, and one that's very win-able for him.
What's the problem?

What's the problem?
1) if he fights Toney or Brewster, as Vit wanted, he likely looses WBC title to Rahman; and he will get accused of ducking rahman
2) if he waits for Rahman, the Sep28 will likely be posponed even further on Rahman's demand, which will make Vit go without a fight even longer; and he will get accused of ducking Toney or Brewster.
If you were Vit, which one of the two would you pick?
The choices aren't that great either way, especially coming of an injury (provided it is serious, of course).Last edited by Nautilus; 07-01-2005, 09:20 PM.

You are speaking as though you know what the WBC will and won't sanction.
In the ********** interview with Shelly Finkel (Vitali's advisor) he stated he didn't think there would be a problem getting the fight sanctioned by the WBC should they move forward with the Toney fight.
Vitali is dead set on fighting in Sept, and the chances the Rahman Barrtett winner being ready are slim. So he's going to fight anyway, and I think it's pretty clear he'll be given clearence to fight without being stripped, so I think those questions you asked are moot points. If he was going to be stripped, he wouldn't even consider fighting, he'd just wait for the Rahman Barrett winner.

Having a career full of little to no risk fights has made me want to see Vitali fight someone in the top 5-7 of the division. It's not like anyone of them are animals.

Originally posted by NautilusWere not Sanders and Johnson top 5 ranked by WBC before they fought VK? I do not think Williams was top 5 ranked though.
I don't consider a 38 year old Corrie Sanders a very credible win. Maybe you do, and if so that's your opinion.

If so, why do you assume that Toney-VK won't happen?
Please answer: what should Vitaliy do?
1) Because he's looked at Oleg Maskiev as an opponent, and now Brock.
2) Fight James Toney.
