:laughing: http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=10302 V. Klitschko wants Maskaev-Peter Winner Next By James Blears World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman says tha former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, who recently suffered a back injury, has told him that he wants to fight the winner of the upcoming bout between WBC champion Oleg Maskaev and mandatory Samuel Peter, scheduled for Oct. 6 in New York's Madison Square Garden. World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman says tha former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, who recently suffered a back injury, has told him that he wants to fight the winner of the upcoming bout between WBC champion Oleg Maskaev and mandatory Samuel Peter, scheduled for Oct. 6 in New York's Madison Square Garden. Don Jose explained that Vitali Kilischko phoned him and said that after he recovers from back surgery, he preferred to fight directly for the title at the beginning of the year. Don Jose said that the fight against Jameel McCline fight has been cancelled, and that: “Vitali wants to prove to himself and his people that he can become the champion of the world again and he’s totally decided to do that. But we are going to request from him a total and complete bill of health after his surgery, because we don’t want to be subject to continuous postponements, which are not good for boxing.†Vitali has struggled with injuries. His intended title fight against Hasim Rahman in 2005, had to be called off three times because of back and then a knee injury. But Don Jose countered: “Really I believe that boxing needs him. Vitali is very attractive for the world and I hope that he will be back.â€
You, of all people, must be joking with that one. I hardly ever link to B-Scene, just when a topic is extremely outrageous enough that it's newsworthy (or in this case, humorous)
THEY DON'T Hence why should I do the same for them? I've posted links to my stories and they get delted. So I should allow them here? Tell me what's wrong with that picture. Cupey
Then delete the link and keep the thread, I really don't care. I'm just citing the source. The story itself is what I find more interesting. If it were on FB's home page, I'd have linked that. It wasn't, so I linked it where I found it.
Says the guy who spams the boxrec forums with 40,000 articles per day :: You are still my boy though :clap:
No problem. Feel free to post the entire story with a link to the source. I have no problem with that. But "read the rest here" helps them and they refuse to return the favor. I was at war with Reeno and I wouldn't even allow the world boxingscene in here. I removed that, but apparently he sees links to outside sources as spam. I don't agree if they stir up interest, but I'll play the same game he plays. Cupey
I didn't post the link for spam purposes, nor does it have anything to do with Rick. I was actually on another message board when i saw a link for Cliff's article. I followed it, scrolled down and saw the Vitali story in the "other news" section. I came here, checked your news section, didn't see similar news... the rest is history. But know that it had nothing to do with what you're suggesting. I don't play those games. Hell, I hardly start threads anywhere.
Anyway... I just love the irony in Vitali, whose postponed bout wasn't even scheduled until NEXT weekend, is already trying to make his next move, this time from the hospital bed.
Dude, I'm not saying you do but that's basically what it is when you put that "read more" thing at the end. I won't give them one hit if I can help it until they do the right thing. Nothing to do with you, or your little pug that follows you around the forums. Fair is Fair. Ask Tam Tam what happend between me and him regarding sherdog, he'll tell you ::
:: Cupey is ragging though:dunno: It is funny this guy is making another comeback of a comeback :doh:
HE's going for broke there - either be able to take the belt with one shot or leave it be - no time for McCline... :nono: as for the boxingscene link. I agree with cupey here - if they don't let him do it i would delete all links to their website. can't be that hard to form some sentences with your own words to start a topic.
this is some grade A bullshit. Thank god Jake took the time to create a thread, he's a valued member to this forum, so why all this other bullshit. Cupey this is especially on you, you JUST posted this earlier today, "and just and FYI to everyone reading this stuff. I just post these numbers to poke fun at other people that I know read the boards. You know, the haters. These numbers mean absolutely fucking nothing. Who knows what they even mean. But regardless of what the numbers say I am proud of the small elite team and the hard work they have been putting in lately. in my recent downtime (unemployed) I got to thinking about all of the things that made the site rise and fall. Without good leadership the place won't hold together. So if anybody was spurned or insulted in the past because of my actions I do apologize. FightBeat is family and I let a lot of people down in the past. So I'm hoping my new found commitment and discipline will encourage people to join the site and help us strive to our original goal, providing free quality content to our readers. I still think we are a top site, but we have a long way to get back to where we fell from. I'm not talking numbers, other things. But I do expect good things will come and I thank everyone for their patience as well as sticking it out with us." Now the same day you say "Dude, I'm not saying you do but that's basically what it is when you put that "read more" thing at the end. I won't give them one hit if I can help it until they do the right thing. Nothing to do with you, or your little pug that follows you around the forums. Fair is Fair. Ask Tam Tam what happend between me and him regarding sherdog, he'll tell you " So the ratings mean nothing, but giving another site one hit on the forums is beyond reproach. What kind of bullshit is that? Jake made a good thread, to stir up discussion, and instead you sabotage it and now we're over a page full of nonsense. THIS is why so many decent posters and contributors have left.
@ jaws - man seriously your post has "agenda" written all over it. between boxing pages is competition just like between forums. our administrator doesn't allow links to other forums either... and cupey is just returning the favor here... :dunno: But you're right with the offtopic he should just have his rules delete all links and not even discuss it with people...
there's no agenda I'm no affiliated for either place, and if I ever would be, it would be for fightbeat. I've never posted on any other site, and hell i only even look at our hompage (we have a homepage?) You can't say the numbers don't matter, and then posting links to other places is bad because of the numbers. if they are dicks about content fine, but fightbeat is great because of its free content and what used to be lively forum.
for that, he can just trek to Russia and await the winner of Ibragimov-Holyfield. I mean he's the reason Peter and Maskaev are fighting this late in the year as it is. It just reminds of a man standing in his ex-wife's driveway, threatening her while holding the restraining order in his hand.
Like I've said, I've allowed links here many times. That's one site I won't make an exception. I did my duty and allow their name to be mentioned without any issue. I made peace with the owner over there and he was fully aware I wouldn't allow their name on my site. I removed it and he never returned the favor. So my compromise is to allow the story to be pritned with a link back to the site. I won't compromise Cupey
Fighting the winner of Holyfield-Ibragimov is the smart move. Ibragimov should win setting up a very good fight in Russia
guys seriously, it's a dead issue. Cupey said his peace, let's move on. Bad enough we're 20+ posts deep, with only 3 or 4 actual responses to the topic ::
It wouldn't be fightbeat if that didn't happen. Start a topic, let Karl post, and then let's see where we are 20 posts down ::
