    There are always worthy challengers rising through the ranks. Like Arreola was in 09.

    Mitchell
    Thompson is a good fighter still
    Arreola
    Fury
    Some asian dude eventually
    Chambers
    Haye
    ustinov
    luis ortiz
    price

    A fighter losing to one brother absolutely should not discount them from fighting the other brother.

    Both have loads of opposition to fight.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Wlad fight Arreola or a Haye rematch.

    Don't care what anyone said, Haye landed some big shots.

    For the last 6 years wlad has cleaned out most of the top 5 guys whilst vitali has faced the lower end of the top ten.

    Still i'd love to see wlad beat pov, adamek and arreola as a minimum. Within twelve month guys like pulev, fury and mitchell should be well ranked also. Then there's like solis and wilder who might pick up a ranking victory in the next year and a half.

    Wlad has atleast 3 years left hopefully pushing his defences to an amazing 20.

    Vitali could fight better opposition but I don't think he wants to anymore.

    Going off their last outings this comment doesn't seem to hold much truth.

    add to this some other untested by klits:

    dimitrenko 32-1
    povetkin 24-0
    wach 26-0
    stiverne 21-1
    wilder 21-0
    szpilka 9-0

    and these who were beaten so far but stylistically might have
    some success against the other brother:

    haye
    arreola
    thompson
    adamek
    chisora
    solis

    ... ist like 3-4 years before division gets empty and klits can feel safe to retire

    Agree with this, Haye and Povetkin are the only guys left who can be called world class, prime (or close to it) and have enough to give a Klitschko brother trouble. The other guys in the division like Chambers, arreola, Thompson, Huck, Banks, Perez, Adamek, Helenius, the list goes on, stand little to no chance of toppling the brothers and are either waiting fot the Klitschko's to step aside and retire or they are too young and inexperienced. I dont believe some of these young gun prospects like Mitchell, Price and Boystov should really be stepping into the ring with a Klitschko until they at least have the experience and tools to give a good account of themselves. Not saying the Klitschko's are being avoided just that the heavyweight division is going through a transitional stage where quite a few fighters wont be ready to step up for at least 2-3 years. Id prefer prospects steered clear of Klitschko fights as to avoid ruining their future.

    We'll see in time but I don't think vitali is overly motivated to take on top 5 opponents anymore.

    Vitali has 2 fights left max and i do think one of those will be Haye.

    As for Wlad, well he owes us after selecting Mormeck as an opponent and talking him up to be a Tysonesque challenge.

    That's my take.
