Alistair Overeem wants Vitali Klitschko ?
"I might go to UFC or boxing," Overeem was quoted as saying by MMA Mania. "Definitely, [I'm seriously thinking about fighting Vitali Klitschko]. I think it matches my personality.
"I'm always looking for a challenge. That came about in fighting for K-1 and becoming K-1 champion, something nobody ever did before. It would be cool to go to boxing and beat the main guy there.
"If you give me a good preparation, good sparring partners, which I can arrange, I can fix that, with my background already in kickboxing, my K-1 background, I'm sure I can break some bones."

From what I hear Overeem striking isn't too shabby, but against Werdum it looked sloppy.

He's tired of the chump-change they make in MMA and wants to make a lottery-like payday against Vitali. Can't blame him.

I've watched him in K1 (which I like very much), he has KO power.

Another joke...they say this shit as if they are entitled to just jump into pro boxing without paying any dues.

Maybe I'm too much of a purist, but I believe in earning your keep. This guy's been KO'd by absolute nobodies. Hell, Bobby "The Truth" Hoffman deserves a shot before Overeem.hardcorebee24 wrote:flapanther2001 wrote:Another joke...they say this shit as if they are entitled to just jump into pro boxing without paying any dues.

I hear ya, but unfortunately the guy has a platform to be heard and people are listening. I say Vitali takes him up on the offer and puts the ball in Overeems court. Lets see how loud he barks then. Vitali kills this guy.

To be fair Overeem does have a good kickboxing background to transition from.

So the fuck what... they're two different sports. Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback doesn't mean he should pitch for the Yankees.

I am just saying it's not like he's a Ping Pong player jumping straight into boxing, he's got combat experience.
And you forget, Vitali himself came from K1.

Look, if they were fighting K1 I'd say fine, stupid but fine. If Vitali was calling out Overeem in a MMA fight I'd say the same shit about Vitali.
My analogy was relevant, quarterbacks and pitchers both throw but they throw in different sports with different rules and disciplines. I don't give a shit how much "combat" experience that Overeem has, he doesn't have boxing experience and hasn't fought anyone to prove he deserves a shot at one of the top two guys in the division.

He would get killed and he would have to lay off the roids.

HW boxing is dead right now, you've got both brothers looking to feed off each others leftovers at the moment. If Overeem wins the HW GP I'd have no problem with this, at least boxing could get some payback for the Couture vs Toney debacle.

No the division is dead.
Vitali is looking at Haye after Adamek
Wladimir is looking at Arreola and two guys from England who haven't even fought at European level yet.
The division is a rotting corpse. It's going to take a long time for it to recover.

But Ali, if the HW division is so much better in MMA, why is this clown wanting to switch over to boxing?

Overeem's got a taste for boxing in those K1 tournaments, he wants to experiment and see if he'll be successful.

How is Overeem winning the Heavyweight crown do anything to improve the Heavyweight Division? A guy with a 0-0 record is not saving anything. And if they were any need for OSDT ,its with this juice head.

AKA He wants to get paid. If he wanted to do boxing, he'd go fight some fring guys and build himself up. This is just a joke fight which he wants to get paid.
Same way Toney went to UFC to get paid since he's career in boxing was dead, and nobody wanted to waste their time with him.

Nah I really think it's more to do with Overeem's ambition, he's in his prime and wants to improve his technique across all areas.
Overeem has plenty of paydays in his future.

Nobody here said it would improve the division.
