"We’ll start off with a low-caliber opponent," he told Gross. "I wouldn't have 30 fights. I’d say five fights, then fight [Vitali or Wladimir] Klitschko."

Five fights to a Klitschko. And people thought Brock was given a title shot early.

HA!
Dude…50 fights is not enough for him to be ready to challenge the Klitschkos. Valuev? Sure…Holyfield? Why not? But seriously…the Klitschkos would be at the top end of the heavyweight division in ANY era in boxing history. That is simply crazy talk from Roach.

Seriously. When did Freddie become a promoter?

if he would say the minimum 10(?) fights needed to go for a title shot, then valuev then maybe its believable..
