Is Lennox next?
The rumor has been everywhere for months, and word is out today that former heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko has told a few different newspapers that he's coming out of retirement and likely will fight Oleg Maskaev on April 21st.
We haven't seen the good Doctor V. in action since he TKO'ed Danny Williams in December of '04. I wonder what this is about. I can't believe it's because he's feeling like he's just GOT to take Maskaev's belt. He says that he's coming back so he and Wlad can hold belts simultaneously. But yo yo, V-Dog, ain't you been listening to your brother yo? Wlad has made it clear for at least a year now that his whole goal in life is to unify the belts at all costs.
Which raises the obvious question - provided Vitali can get back to form and make quick work of Maskaev, as he certainly would have done in his prime, will he and Wlad eventually fight? If they do, who wins? It's a tough call. On one hand you have the Chris Byrd factor, and on another the Corrie Sanders factor. For myself, I know I'd be rooting for Dr. V all the way, but if he wants a piece of his younger bro right now, he better make sure he's in crack condition, because Manny Steward is turning that boy into a veritable one-two machine. Then again, VKlitsch will always have the edge when it comes to the all-important heart muscle, as evidenced by the action below.

id like to see him try.
or enter mma.
Don't count Oleg Maskaev out against Vitali - especially with the long layoff. They actually fought in the amateurs and Maskaev knocked him out in the first round. I believe it was the red army championships. Everybody wants to fight Oleg but he's not a pushover.
