Looking at Wlad's next few fights it seems they will all greatly enhance his legacy (should he win them all of course). Solid young contenders like Dimitrenko, Povetkin and Haye. Titleholders like Valuev and Chagev.
Ya know it's entirely possible that Haye fights Vitali before he fights Wladimir now. In a way? Perhaps this is good. So often we see Vitali in the role of "You beat my brother, now you die!" Maybe the road to an even BIGGER Haye vs Wlad fight involves a stop off with Haye vs Vitali? It would be an avenue not visited since when Chris Byrd "beat" Vitali a while back. Just thinking aloud.
I'd like to see: Wlad v Chageav June 20th. Wlad v Povetkin October. Wlad v Dimitrenko March/April. Meanwhile... WBA Title - Strip Valuev after Don King ****ed them around. Install Chagaev as WBA champion and put it on the line against Wlad. Wlad wins it, drops that joke orgs. belt, we see John Ruiz vs Kevin Johnson for the vacant title. While Haye can keep himself busy and work his way back into contention. He's already WBO#2, and will be mandatory after Dimitrenko, but Wlad if I'm right wouldn't have to defend that belt against his mandatory for another 18 months, so Haye needs to get back in with some top 10 fighters and make sure that Wlad definately chooses him for a fight around Summer/Autumn 2010.
you didnt hear it from me...shhhhhhh that might be it Wlad is locked up with Mands... so it Vitali if Haye wants a klitschko or wait until mid-late 2010 for Wlad... and trust me...Wlad wants Haye
Did you really mention that dude? If so I apologize. Once you get to about the 4th page of thse sorta threads, comments tend to run together. If you did then hey, great minds think alike.
Depends how much Wlad wants that WBA belt. It shouldn't mean much, I know between them they want all the belts, but it isn't worth getting involved in that mess. It's the reward of picking up another title against the risk of having to potentially defend against guys like Chagaev again, or John Ruiz etc. And by the way, I just wanted to say with regards to that joke 'The Quietman' - he was OTG last week and he said he was ducked by both Klitschko's and Lennox Lewis.
Then again we have to remember that Sulaiman is still out and about looking to kill any potential dream fight out there. Maskaev is still snooping around for a mandatory he's apparently owed.....Would Vitali potentially step BACK from a Maskaev bout, vacate the belt. Then Haye can take on Oleg (claiming to fight someone Vitali ducked) and then we get Vitali vs Haye for the WBC gold?
Wlads not hip on the WBA..just like most of us he sees the BS. If it happens in this fight GREAT if it doesnt, he is happy about a top 10 guy, undefeated, and RING title.... not a day day:bbb
