    Yes.

    But somehow, the idea of Wlad-Pulev doesn't thrill me.

    For me, Dereck Chisora would make for a more interesting opponent, and there would be lots of banter about it on these boxing forums.

    A brilliant choice to go with an 18-4 fighter with one win (by injury) over a top 10 fighter. Why not fight the guy who knocked Chisora cold?

    I also see you voted Solis who you yourself has called out of shape, without a top 10 win and as having regressed after his injury. So what would be the point except to pad his record with another non top 10 fighter?

    Wie geht es jetzt weiter? Klitschko muss als nächstes gegen WBO-Pflichtherausforderer Denis Boytsov ran. Der WBA-Titel von Powetkin ist jetzt vakant, um ihn boxen Ruslan Chagaev (Usbekistan) und Luis Ortiz (Kuba). BILD Zeitung

    Translate Wlad vs Boytsov for WBO belt Chagaev and Ortiz for WBA

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: @ people wanting Wlad to fight Chisora or Haye again. Did you not see the first fight? If Wlad fought Haye again he would rough him up like he did Povetkin and you people would just cry and complain on here more. What in the hell would be the point of Wlad-Haye II? :rofl

    Nothing. But it would certainly make more sense than Chisora, especially if he's impressive against Fury.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Wlad-Haye II.

    But Haye has signed the contract to fight Fury on Feb 8 so it's very unlikely he'll be next for Wladimir.

    Yes, Povetkin's former belt will go to the winner of Chagaev-Ortiz.

    I'm not sure Wlad will fight Boytsov though, it will likely be Pulev in April.

    10. Tony Thompson (already beaten twice)

    So from the top ten Pulev, Arreola and Solis would be available.

    Nobody! Your list is pissed poor. Maybe Haye! Only maybe. But he's far from Lennox.

    Pulev would beat Chisora and probably Gaye. He's a good mandatory. I wonder if the detractors will back Pulev to beat Wlad, then make excuses after Wlad beats him decisively. It'll be interesting to see as some of those people claimed Pulev was nothing but hype and would be exposed by Thompson... Will the resort to backing a "hype job" against Wlad?:think

    I would say Wilder just because of his KO ratio. Deal some pressure and let's see if Wlad handles it better than he did from Sanders.

    Wilder management has no interest in putting him in with live opponents... He's fighting firtha next for crying out loud! Wilder won't ever become a mandatory if he continues to face these kinds of stiffs! KO ratio means nothing if it's winos and crackheads that are being knocked out.

    That's what I thought from Golota until he stepped into the ring with Bowe. It's just the single fight I really wanna see. Wlad doesn't handle big shots coming at him too well. Undefeated KO prospect, put him in.
