    If Wladimir beats Jennings

    Wilder and Tyson Fury are the most deverving challengers.

    If this fights can't get made he should look for fights with
    Stiverne, Glazkov, Tarver, Andy Ruiz Jr, Mike Perez or even Povetkin rematch

    If these guys are not available then he should look for a circus act like Briggs, Lucas Browne, Charr, Odlanier Solis or Ustinov

    He has shown no indication that he will retire any time soon. I think he wants to fight on for a few more years, I am sure he is confident he can beat Wilder and Fury, so why not face them and define a legacy?

    Wlad will knock out Jennings, Fury, then Wilder to unify the belts and probably retire.

    Wlad just said he's not even thinking about retirement and we will see him for at least 5 more years in the ring.

    a 36 year old can say anything but the body says different.

    Wilder,Fury, and break record for most title defenses. I am sure breaking the record will **** off the haters.

    Wilder made it pretty clear in a recent interview about the Jennings fight that Wlad is a different kindof animal skillswise and seems to have expressed little interest in going that route.

    Fury would be a better fight than Briggs, but if Briggs backers are what he claims, ie 15+mil for Wlad.......he'd be a fool to pass on that.:-(

    Wlad will knock Fury out.

    I don't think Wlad is losing any sleep over Fury.

    He should just beat deontay for the wbc belt and just leave.

    We should come back to this after the Jennings fight. However if Wlad wins that fight. I think he has three fights left in him. Fury, Wilder and a farewell fight of Glazkov in Ukraine or Briggs in Gemrany. That should take him to the end of 2016.

    fury and wilder will be afterthoughts by next summer. fury supporters will be saying wlad is ducking joshua. wilder supporters will say he is ducking martin, breazeale, or washington.
