    I think he should at least offer the May fight to Malik Scott. Scott's standing is higher than Jennings or Pianeta at this point.

    Scott would not be as good a fight for Wlad as Pulev or Povetkin or Helenius but if those guys aren't available Scott should be an option.

    No. Scott poses zero threat to Wlad. Quick KO.

    TBH I was pretty impressed with him on Saturday, but other than a disputable draw with Glazkov, what has he done to get Wlad? ATM I'd say no.

    Why not?

    In the ideal world I'd like to see Malik fight one more Top15 heavyweight before the titleshot. Someone like Jennings, Adamek or Arreola.

    Hopefully his manager is planning for the mandatory spot.
    Another good win should do it, I guess.

    I'd prefer to Scott to get a shot against a top 10 guy first. He's still a better option than that Pinata guy that's been being mentioned, though. Both are zero threat to beat Wlad.

    Ideally, Scott should win another big fight or two but since Wlad is looking at guys like Pianetta and Jennings(who isn't ready yet), I think Scott would be a good option for Wlad's May fight.

    Only unkranked fighters qualify to fight K2 these days.
    Scott said he wants a Klitschko ASAP

    Scott has been fighting since 2000 and has fought exactly three 10 round fights. This would be a waste of time for Wlad.

    Malik Scott's body looks like a badly burned cut of spalted maple.

    Give it to Audley Harrison.

    Either he wins, and competes his journey (LOL)

    Or he shuts the **** up forever.

    Malik Scott needs a good win over a top 25 heavyweight and then he would be more deserving than Pianeta and Jennings.

    He should fight someone like Thompson, Helenius or Fury.

    I dont think the Klitschkos will fight on much longer. They are both getting older.
    what has Malik done to prove himself? The fighter that drew with Malik could be argued that he is just a deserving.
    There has been speculation about the contracts that if true, you could understand opponents not wanting to commit. Still if an opponent is happy to commit then Pulev, probably should get the call. Maybe even Cunningham who fought Adamek to a disputed draw and has pedigree in world title fights albeit at CW

    How da **** is Jennings worthy of a shot at all the titles when he has only 15 fights and one 12 rounder to his name?
    The majority of people have never even seen the guy fight, including myself.
    Malik Scott said in an interview recently that he didn't even know what he looked like.

    Thompson got a mandatory fight when Chambers pulled out of the eliminateor but K2 wont do the same for Pulev because they dont want a risky fight.
