    Who does Wlad fight after Povetkin? I don't think there's anyone in the current HW division that has a chance of beating him.

    Povetkin rematch to see if he can reclaim his belts.

    Pulev. and no I don't think Pulev has a chance at beating Wlad, but it's still a good defense.

    I'd like to see him fight Fury, Wilder or Haye rematch.

    Assuming that Wladimir wins, he should face Pulev, Fury (assuming either that Fury/Haye doesn't happen or Fury defeats Haye), and then Wilder, in that order. If they would ever get healthy and continue to win, Helenius and Boytsov would make reasonable voluntary defenses after the first three mentioned.

    Pulev has clearly earned his place, and I maintain that in the past 2 years he has surpassed Povetkin. Fury and Wilder both have high levels of visibility right now, so they would make sense. Helenius and Boytsov are both undefeated and continue to be ranked highly by the WBO. Of course, I don't know who Wlad's next mandatories will be, as they will be sprinkled in as well.

    Haye rematch.

    That would be more interesting that Povetkin vs Wlad.

    Kubrat Pulev is his IBF mandatory.

    He may be permitted to have a voluntary defense before that, possibly as early as Dec 14. Ahmet Oner wants to cash out Odlanier Solis.

    Vlad mentioned fighting Wilder in the future. Pulev will probably be his mandatory, so one fight, then mandatory Pulev........

    Pulev. He beat TT in an IBF eliminator, so he's up for
    the winner of this weekends winner. Which will be Wlad.

    -Pulev
    -Fury
    -Wilder/Jennings if he wants to step back, but do a little more interesting than his recent run.

    Not too much else really matters. Chisora, sure.
