    Hard to say.

    If it happens, it will happen sudenly and possibly not to sombody that we would expect.

    My guess is that they will be astute enough to hang em up before it happens.

    Can anyone name all the belts from left to right? Is the one to the far left the Ring Magazine belt?

    Until a sanctioning body strips one of them off their titles.

    Vitali may lose his next, I think Adamek has a good underdog chance.

    Vitali will only lose if father time smacks him in the face suddenly, not out of question since he's 40. But if not, i'm thinking, how does adamek beat vitali? What strategy would he employ?

    I can't see a path of victory for him that doesn't involve Vitali coming up short somewhere.

    Look at Vitali´s opponents since his comeback, they all were perfect for him. Fat slobs or old neverhasbeens or a combination of them. The only serious challenger was Solis and that fight ended in a freak accident in round one.

    Adamek is faster, more mobile, defensivly better, busier and more determined than all of them. Of course he shouldn´t be the fav and if Vitali doesn´t show his age he´ll win but I have the feeling that the mix of age, beeing used to a lesser level of competition and, well, the class of his opponent maybe enought this time.

    The only scenario I see having the Klits lose the belt is if Vitali retires.

    Wlad will try to go for the belt, but whoever fights for it will try to hang on to it and stay clear of Wlad.

    Wlad is better than Vitali, and has a much better resume. I'd love to see if old vitali could handle Haye and Povetkin right now. No one is beating Wlad for a while. Wlad just beat the best out there. Povetkin and Helenius are the only two left.

    WBA super champion? What a bunch of crap. The WBA is sinking to new depths. They have to segment their belt from normal level world champion to Super champion. I guess Povetkin vs. Chagaev is only for the WBA championship of the world.

    Suzie,

    Haye could have chosen either Vitali or Wlad. He picked Wlad because he felt his chance of victory was greater. I think Vitali would have stopped Haye, and has at least two more fights in him before he declines enough to lose say more than two rounds!

    Up next for Vitali is the #2 rated Adamek. After that, the winner of Povetkin vs. Chagaev should get a title shot if the WBA will allow a title unification ( Super WBA vs Normal world champion WBA ) for their own damn belt.
