    Povetkin needs to go ahead and challenge Klitcschko. I want to see him go after Wladimir. He's been building up long enough. Now is the time to fight for the title.

    Should have read your post first.

    I'd like to see him fight Chambers next, or Arreola.

    HOWEVER.. I think he will fight a very beatable Rahman, which is who I voted for.

    Since the Wlad fight is unlikely... Fury, Haye, or Helenius please.

    I don't see either Klitschko wanting to sign to fight Povetkin after he pulled out of two fights, and in second pullout, he waited till day of press conference to let anyone know. Money was spent, contracts ready, promtion started, and he changes mind, at urging of Atlas.

    Fury so he can be exposed and forgotten so everyone knows David Price is the future

    Wouldn't mind seeing him put a beating on Fury.

    i picked fury solely on the fact wlad is tied up for the best part of 2012 so he should fight fury to help with size difference..then maybe slap helenius aswell and get him to **** off

    A fight against Huck seems very likely

    I'd love to see him and Arreola fight although I'm not sure if there's any incentive on Chris' end. Arreola will probably fight Wlad at some point in the next year as long as he keeps winning and stays in the publc eye. He really isn't in Povetkin's league technically so the risk/reward just isn't there.

    Chisora will likely rematch Helenius in the next few months so that leaves Fury as the logical opponent of those listed.

    I would absolutely agree with this if he hadn't already beaten Chambers handily. Given that Helenius and Chisora will rematch and Arreola doesn't need him to get a fight with Wlad, the only logical opponents in the near future are Fury, Dimitrenko or possibly Huck from what I'm hearing.

    You said twice something about a Chisora rematch with Helenius. No. Chisora signed on to fight Vitali.

    I hope Povetkin fights, if not a Klitschko obviously, I'd want Huck. For whatever reason, it intrigues me. Plus, if they sign on before February 4th, maybe Hernandez vs. Cunningham II could be for the Ring title at cruiser.

    Also, I'd accept Povetkin vs. Helenius, just to further beat down that fool. Dimitrenko would be good, or if Adamek was willing that would be ideal.

    How about David Price? Doubt he'd want it as Price is almost unknown on the world scene but I think it would be good preparation for Wlad.

    :oops: Wow, I was convinced they'd rematch to clear things up from the first fight. Shpws you how informed I am. Well how about a mini-tourney with Povetkin/Fury, Arreola/ Rahman, Chambers/Adamek and Helenius/Dimirenko with the winner fighting Wlad? The tourney won't happen but I can definitely see Arreola/Rahman and Chambers/Adamek happening for some reason.
