    The following boxers I believe should get a shot at Klitschkos, in no specific order:

    Arreola
    Dimitrenko
    Chambers
    Povetkin
    Ruiz - only because if he gives it his all, he can Sander-like beat Wlad. Nothing against Vitali
    Holyfield - wont be scared to come face to face with Wlad and make it an inside fight
    Haye
    Valuev

    And possible future prospects, with some improvements. No specific order:

    Kevin Johnson
    Odlandier Solis
    Francesco Pianeta
    Taras Bidenko
    Boytsov
    David Rodriguez
    Ustinov
    Shane Cameron
    David Tua

    Ruiz, Holyfield, Cameron, Arreola, Chambers and Haye all get hurt, badly, against either.

    Povetkin, Dimitrenko, Tua, Solis all have a chance of ending the fight on their feet.

    The rest shouldn't even be considered.

    Toney would be stopped for the first time and brutally if he fought either Klitschko.

    Arreola: Could be a good fight. He is a good fighter of the new generation.

    Dimitrenko: A good fighter of the new generation.

    Chambers: Could be good. But I think he will lose to Dimitrenko. He already lost to Povetkin, who Wlad will face.

    Povetkin: Wlad will face him in september.

    Ruiz: Ruiz is shot and is not prestigious. I don't see why this fight is relevant.

    Holyfield: Is he 50 years old?

    Haye: Haye is popular and it would be interesting.

    Valuev: I see why this fight is relevant. But, after seeing Wlad dominating Chagaev, I don't really care about Valuev.

    Why Ruiz and Holy?

    Simply because they got nothing else to lose and much to gain. And the only way to gain is to hope that Wlad realy does have a glass-chin and risk their own chin as they would run in to throw KO punches. Thats really the only way to win from Wald. But this is very risky, and Ruiz and Holy seem like the only ones who'd get the last chance and might find the balls to do so.

    But I do understand that Wlad v Any of them, is bad for HW marketing.

    I think Wlad's priorities should be Povetkin, Haye, Dimitrenko/Chambers winner, Arreola and Valuev. After that there's not much to do, imo, but new contenders will emerge.

    But Vitali will probably challenge Haye or Arreola in september.

    Wlad will definitely fight Povetkin (unless there's another injury) and, if he wins, he will probably have to face Dimitrenko/Chambers winner, which would be his WBO mandatory.

    I don't know about Valuev, but he already declined to fight Wlad some weeks ago when he could've been a replacemente for Haye. Anyways, Chagaev already beat him.

    Dimitrenko-Chambers winner, Povetkin, Arreola, Haye, and Valuev.

    Those are the only 5 guys that make any sense at all for Wlad in the near future. I'm not sure where Vitali's going from here if he doesn't fight Haye in the fall.

    After one of them beats Haye, and takes Valuev's partial WBA title...........there will be nothing left to do.

    All those you listed are wastes of time, unless there is noone else to fight, then, why not? If they continue, they have to fight someone, regardless of if they pose a threat or not.

    David Haye
    And easily take Valuev's title.

    That is all there is left to do that will mean anything, and even Valuev getting beaten won't really mean anything.
