Boente: Wladimir will return Dec. 11

The heavyweight champ is going to defend again in less than 3 months. Way to go Wlad !!! Could Adamek be convinced to scrap his smaller fight for a chance at the world title?

I doubt it with that cut Grant gave him.

Who else is out there?

Arreola? Dimitrenko? Valuev maybe?

Boytsov, Solis, Adamek, or Tua

LOL at Boytsov, that guy is TERRIBLE

I think Adamek waits until next year

Tua after the Barrett beat down, no way

Dimitrenko maybe? but he lost to Chambers, dont want to see that all

Valuev & Solis would be the better match ups

Gotta be Valuev doesn't it?

I mean I'm sure TWELVE will be unavailable do to his need to do Christmas shopping or get his nails done or appear on Oprah.

LOL so we might get to see Valuev get KO'd? Huh sounds boring to me though.

The heavyweight champion of the world fighting a hairy seven footer? Boring is NOT what comes to mind.

But style wise it doesnt sound good. Its like Winky Wright vs BHOP. I know how much that appeals to a guy like you. LOL

I have to admit that I am puzzled by all the claims of "boring-ness" by self professed boxing fans. Some fights are better than others, but I am such a degenerate fan there are very,very,very few fights I have EVER found boring. There is nearly always some way to think about and watch a fight that makes it highly entertaining for me.

I seriously think that fighters like Arturo Gatti dumb the sport down. Men should fight taking one to give one in only two sets of circumstances. When they are so badly behind they have no other choice or if they simply aren't good enough to fight any other way. But that kind of stuff is BAD boxing. It may be exciting like a car crash is exciting, but it is hardly representative of the highest achievements of the sport.

Hit and don't get hit is the essence of boxing. Not you hit me then I'll hit you.

Mini-rant over.

Now dont get me wrong I like watching Wlad. Its not Wlad that I think will make this fight a little boring its Valuev. Maybe Wlad can make it fun to watch I am not sure. But styles make fights. And this doesnt seem like it will be the best matchup I have seen in a while. I thought the Peter vs Wlad fight was fun because the styles of them two made it a fun fight. Who knows I am wrong every now and then LOL

If nothing else I'd like to see how Wlad reacts to being the smaller man with the shorter reach. And who knows maybe we will see less clinching. I mean can you imagine ANYBODY wanting to hug a sweating Nikolay Valuev?

Wlad might be like a cat coughing up hairballs after the fight.

Valuev is having surgery and will not be able to fight in December. It will be one of the guys I listed above. First choice would be Adamek as he is the highest ranked contender available.

Thank you!

Adamek has a heart as big as Poland and he is tougher than an overcooked steak. But he takes a bad beating is my guess.

I agree.

Im really doubting Adamek stopping his Maddalone fight and taking on Wlad this year

why? Isn't he taking these keep busy fights bidding his time until a big fight comes along? The fights don't get any bigger than a shot at the champ.

Because he had a tough fight w/Grant and already has Maddalone bout set up

Makes easy $ and gets some rounds in, then goes for the big payday vs Wlad

he'll be 34 yrs old in December. If he takes a"stay busy" fight versus Vinny Madalone on a local show for 200 grand rather than a shot at the champ for 2 million on the world stage, then he has rocks in his head.

He should be ready to go with 3 and a half months between fights, unless the cut hasn't healed properly.

Its already scheduled and was announced before they knew Wlad would fight again in 2010, his shot at Wlad is pretty locked down

And that will be sad to watch. I like Adamek and he is too tough for his own good.

I think Wlad will also be taking a "stay busy" fight in December to get ready for Adamek in the spring. There is no shortage of bums to fight in that Division. Has anyone predicted any of Wlad's opponents recently? There are a myriad of shitty opponents out there for him to hammer on. Prediction Wlad shows up in shape ready to fight a KO's some can in Germany. Or maybe just maybe he fights Odlanier Solis.
