Who's next for Wladi?

I think he beat someone to regain the EBU title.

 

I'm expecting Vitali to take Odlanier Solis next, and I believe if not Haye next then we'll see Klitschko/Adamek.

 

It's very, very slim pickings for Wlad at this point. I mean, there's really only two fights that would help his reputation: Haye and Adamek. Everything else is just treading water. I wouldn't be shocked it he took on Johnathon Banks or even Arreola.

 

Haye, Adamek or Povetkin.

 

Tua is awful. I like Wlad, but I wouldn't watch that fight even on free tv. Tua would be butchered. He doesn't even have a puncher's chance. He's slower than treacle these days.

 

Valuev?

 

Valuev is having surgery, right? Povetkin will never fight Wlad and he really doesn't deserve yet another shot. Even Atlas says he's a year away, so that fight ain't happening.

 

I meant for his next fight. Personally, I don't think Valuev will fight again. And if he does fight, he won't fight Wlad. He'll take the safer fight with Vitali. Not that Vitali isn't good, but he wouldn't kayo Valuev. I think Wlad might. Povetkin? I'd just as soon remove him from the roster. He's had his chance.
