    Are there some other mandatories? Haye rematch? Chisora? Arreola?

    By defeating Thompson, Wlad has made 12 successful defenses since he became the man in 2006. Only Joe Louis and Larry Holmes have more. Ali also, but not consecutive. Also, Wlad's reign will expand, at least, until November or December: 6 and a half years on the top of the heavyweight division. Only Dempsey, Louis, Holmes and Ali had more months on top.

    His unbeaten streak since late 2004 is also one of the most impressive by any heavyweight champion.

    The man is wiping everything in the Division and that includes former titlists Byrd, Ibragimov, Chagaev, Haye, and now rematching and defending all the titles, i mean he's not gonna fight Vitali so let's see if Povetkin finally has the guts to stand up and challenge him.

    Areolla. Fury. Boystov. Mitchell. Price.

    5 fights that are gonna happen and 5 fights i wanna see.

    But i think mitchell needs improvement. Maybe replace mitchell with pulev or unistov. I wanna see some new faces getting title shots. Ready or not. Bring it
    On. Nobody wants to see chamber rematch

    Someone out of Mitchell, Fury, etc. are going to have to step up and fight Wlad even if they are no ready yet.

    Arreola is going to wait and fight for the vacant WBC after Vitali retires.

    Povetkin isn't going to fight him that much is clear. Wonder who the current WBO and WBA mandatory are?

    More than likely he would win but **** it. Go in there with Seth Mitchell since he was kinda called out too. But make sure the bout takes place in the USA

    He wasn't unified for all of those defenses and with his brother owning part of the titles he cant be so his reign and defenses are not of a unified crown as Louis was so they don't count on the all-time list of unified defenses.

    With Mitchell's lack of experience/big fights in big stadiums, and his type of style, I couldn't see it going more then 3,4rds

    There's plenty of guys out there who would put up a better fight than Tony friggin' Thompson.

    Once the Klitschko brothers retire, the division will get exciting. All the top contenders fighting each other will be good. The brothers are just head and shouldered above them.
