    Hopefully World War III happens and they'll all be forced to fight and die for their countries effectively killing them all off and wiping the slate clean. One can only dream. :-(

    In five years, both Klits will be retired, unbeaten since becoming simultaneous champs.

    Klitchkos will retire which will leave 4 vacant belts, these belts will not be unified for another 10 years

    Wlad dominates the next five years, I see his brother leaving the division in maybe two or three years and I think Wlad will go after the titles that are left behind, maybe not have all 4 at once but definitely be a guy who has held all 4.

    Deontay Wilder will be like every other American prospect in recent times and be completely passed over by 2014

    Wilder will have his day, he will be champ, all he has to to do is work hard, this is the worst era of HW boxing ever.

    Bollocks. It's the worst era of Americans boxing at HW.

    This era has as many good fighters as any other, with two guys that H2H are near impossible to beat for the majority of "ATG" fighters.

    Actually I see Vitali going 2-3 more fights then Wlad going after all the belts 3-4 more years at the very most... then its open to all

    Why the hate? You obviously haven't seen him fight. He's very promising. He's got skills, power and keeps himself in excellent shape.

    I agree. I think it will be a long time before the belts are unified in any way after the brothers leave. Boxing politics are just to much to get it done these days. Hell look at what the WBA just did...wouldnt sanction this last fight Wlad/Chagaev....It will be like that year after year

    I've seen three of his professional fights and his olympic fights. He's 6'6 and has muscles, that's the hype. He's not technically equipped to deal with the bigger boys and he'll struggle when his physical advantages are either negated by superior skill (Povetkin) or superior physicality (Klitschko/even Valuev)

    I think Wlad will retire as the undisputed world champion about four years after Vitali retires. Somewhere along the way he will pick up Vitali's belt(s) and become undisputed. At the point of retirement, I think Dimitrenko will be the next guy in line to inherit the belts. He is big, fast, strong, and fits the mold better than any current heavyweight.

    Exactly how I see it as well. Wlad says to me..."3-4 more years"
