    Pov definitely. Would be good seeing him take on a style like arreola or solis.

    But pov has to be the ideal opponent.

    Adamek will fight vitali, so the best fight is povetkin.

    povetkin.

    other fights i want him in before retirement:

    arreola
    solis
    helenius
    fury/chisora winner


    i also want vitali to retire after beating adamek so Wlad can unify the final belt. but preferably against a brawler so we dont get another ibragimov/haye type beltholder who doesn't want to try hard.

    I say Povetkin. Povetkin is a good solid fighter with awesome amateur credentials. Wladimir stops him in 8 or 9 but it would be a good fight imo.

    Wlad said he wants this new rededicated Arreola here in America.

    I'd rather he coerced Valuev $$$$$$$ out of retirement then face his WBA mandatory.

    From here on out, and especially after Vitali is gone, Wlad really needs to just let the sanctioning bodies enforce his fights.

    Adamek would be best, but he's busy.

    Povetkin from a couple years ago would be good. Wonder what he has left now?

    Arreola in L.A. California or Madison Square Garden. Big selling fight, for sure.

    Chambers in Philly.

    Arreola in LA would be a good fight.

    That's a match up I'd feel comfortable betting on the under.

    Arreola. He is a fighter, and has a lot of heart. He would keep going and eating jabs all night, but maybe he could get some big shots in.

    He would be incredibly motivated, and might give Wlad problems.
    Since he seems to be taking boxing seriously nowdays, he has to stop fighting bums,and go for someone like Sam Peter, Dimitrenko (a top 30 fighter with some credentials).
