Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Klitschko Does NOT Deserve Shot at WBA Title!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO does not deserve a shot at the WBA heavyweight title. The WBA have let the issue of who should fight for their title become a farce this week. When are they going to stop faffing around and get their title sorted? Why are we still waiting for them to make up their minds?

I disagree. The guy is highly ranked because the fight he lost his belts in he was only shaded for the victory and should retain a high ranking. Take into account he's gone through two camps to have his opponent refuse to face him twice he'd be in contention if he had fought two Wilder or Joshua type opponents they line up, his rank would be even higher.

I don't understand why anyone begrudges Klitschko fighting for the IBO and WBA in December and he IBF next summer. After he's got all three belts chances are we will see him unify versus Wilder and Parker.

Ortiz is ranked number one and wlad is ranked two and that's a fact. Therefore it should be Ortiz who gets the shot. I hate the wba they are so corrupt, then again so are the rest of them

It is so obvious that Warren is extremly biased. The least deserving guy for a title shot is his fighter Ustinov. The guy can't box at all. His other fighter is Hughie Fury. Only with the help of the WBO will he ever have a chance for a title shot. I'd rate Joshua, Wilder and Klitschko as the only three on the world class level, so why should Klitschko not deserve a title shot at the WBA?

Effing hypocrite who has on many occasions maneuvered his own undeserving fighters into title bouts, in some cases cupcake fights for vacant alphabet trinkets.

I have no problem with Wlad fighting for the WBA title, after all he did hold them and was about to fight for them in a rematch which hasn't happened.

Anthony Joshua on the other hand does not deserve to step over everybody else in the rankings and fight for it, even though i'd like to see Joshua v Wlad.

I would say Klitschko VS Ortez with a 50% purse split & outside of Germany makes sense!

He ain't fighting Joshua next summer. He is #2 in the WBA & WBO. He wants a title. Joshua offered up the IBF & a massive payday. He said no. He was in line to fight Parker for the vacant WBO belt as the #2 contender. He said no so they gave the shot to Ruiz as the #3. Browne is not the #1 or #2 in the WBA. He is the #5 behind Ortiz, Klitschko, Ustinov & Oquendo. Klitschko should be fighting Ortiz for the vacant WBA not Lucas Browne. He is simply trying to get a belt without beating the top guys. He is done & should just hang it up. He's had a great career, made lots of money & is going to the hall of fame but what he is doing here is pretty weak. Everyone sees it but Klitschko fans. He is trying to take the path of least resistance. He hasn't looked good since the pulev fight. He is still in great shape but doesn't look like he can pull the trigger anymore. He is over 40 now & there are some serious young gun HWs who may be able to take him out. Fury doesn't have big power but Wilder, Parker & Joshua do. Ortiz is 37 but a serious threat to him too but yet he feels he should be able to fight Browne for a vacant belt when Ortiz is ranked higher than both he & Browne. It's a clear duck of a tough fight. He wants to retire a champion. He has no intention of fighting Wilder, Joshua, Parker or Ortiz. You are a smart guy you should be able to see this.

He had a chance to fight Joshua for big money & IBF title. He said no, He could of fought Parker for he vacant WBO but said no so the fight went to Ruiz who is #3. He is the WBA #2 as you pointed out so why is he not fighting the WBA #1 Luis Ortiz for the vacant belt? I'll answer that for you... He is trying to avoid a tough fight to get a strap. Browne is the WBA #5. That means there are 3 other guys ranked ahead of Browne not including Klitschko. He is trying to get his hands on a belt without fighting the best guys...
