Wladimir. I thought, unifications come first. So if Vitali vacates, Wlad gets the chance to fight the winner of the eliminator, right?
Maybe its me being British and biast but in the form of David Price I believe you have possibily a future hall of famer! The man has everything and is going to go to the top! He should be in this poll..
WBC undoubtedly puts some bull**** eliminator together with maybe 2 deserving contenders and 2 horrible choices. Eventually the bull**** will stop and whoever their paper champ is, has to fight...and lose to...Wlad.
Stiverne after his great victory of the 40 year old Austin (who was coming off a loss) had a stay busy fight almost a year later vs 13-10 Willie Herring.... he is the next young lion (34 years old already) and will destroy all in the top 10 until he gets his shot some people like to stay busy and sharp while mastering their trade...then you have guys like Stiverne...oh yeah, Don King is his promoter... im excited
This. If not Adamek or Arreola some other fighters....At the end of the day tho, it will more than likley become another belt in Wlads collection .
Probably Arreola first, because he'll get to KO some high ranked WBC guy like Boytsov for it. Then Wlad-Arreola II i'm guessing.
Wladimir. Unless of course the WBC lets 2 lesser fighters fight for the title, which is a distinct possiblity. :-(
Arreola. Sulaiman would simply declare him champion immediately after Vitali vacates. Not really a champion, but neither was Norton in '78 after being awarded by the WBC of their title, and Lewis in '93 after Bowe ducked him. Make the November fight a fight for the undisputed championship between Wlad and Arreola.
