    After Adamek it seems they will have cleaned the division out?

    Is there anyone coming through that you think stands a fair chance at them.

    The only viable fight is Klitschko V Klitschko and that'll never happen.

    Adamek, Povetkin, Boytsov, Helenius, Perez. Wheres the next real challenge coming from?

    Maybe helenius if he keeps beating former klitschko leftovers in impressive fashion.

    They should be fighting other Russia Freak experiments like Valuev. Boxing needs a new division called, Homemade Freak Division to contain the three of them and any future Russia test tube babies.

    Wlad mentioned fighting the winner of Fury and Chisora.

    That will be another beat down as neither of these guys are impressive.

    If Wlad had any ambition, he would be begging to re-match Haye.

    It's scary how many PPV sales that fight sold in the UK.

    I think it will come very close to a million.

    He re-matches Haye, say at Wembley London, in the UK, and he'll make $20 million.

    We all know Wlad though. He'll end up fighting a mandatory, in Germany, for $2 million

    Maybe Povetkin, if he can be bothered to actually step up.

    we are in a terrible time in boxing at heavyweight. As it is the heavyweights are the worst division around. No weight limit and the guys are slow and lazy and inconsistent. Not enough attention is put on the lower weights where those guys are always in shape.

    It would sell more than any HW fight out there - we are in the weakest era ever in HW boxing so people have to take anything they can get

    Any time you have a long time champion, you get a bare cuboard. Louis, Ali Tyson, Lennox, the K-Bro's. , can't say Holms in he refused/King would not let him fight the other champion, and Holms had his kiddy parade of 5 of 6 fights where the Challanger had 10-15 fights. But he was out of anyone to fight but the other champ.
    That other English man w/15 was to be a keep busy fight...

    it's hard to drum up interest often, when one brother beats one guy easy, so will the other.
    (((Sanders was not beaten easy...by Vitialie but beaten he was...)))


    Gee you are missing something....can't say I'll fight a belt champ I can beat and ignore the others.....like in lower weights.
    They got to fight one or the other.

    I guess it will be those two Russin fighters next or that Tall one....ain't much else out there...tht will give the Finn a few more contenders....if he can find one who wants to fight him for peanuts when he can be avoided for a bigger payday beating.

    Rematch with Haye and Helenius spring to mind. If Arreola keeps blasting away these B- and C level guys he'll get another shot. Adamek is already scheduled to fight Vitali. Tony Thompson is a dark horse though, he went like 11 rounds with Wlad, and since that lost has TKO 5 guys straight.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are forced to fight other champs at the Weight Class. You know, James Toney and the like. Eventually becoming like Roy Jones at Light Heavyweight with so many belts that he can't wear them all at once without tipping over.

    I don´t think Valuev wants any of the brothers. I think Valuev is pretty much done in boxing actually. I´d love to see him fight Wlad or Vitali, just out of interest in seeing the biggest, size-wise, fight ever and seeing if they can KO the giant (which I think they could).
