Bronco Billy Wright!!! to unify the titles after Bronco Billy KTFO Wilder in January!! :yep This content is protected
Ok cool. Thanks. Well that would clear a major hurdle in making Wilder vs Wlad. If Wilder gets past Glazkov. Basically it will come down to if Wlad wants to unify in his next fight or does he want the WBC mandatory (Povetkin) to be cleared up before he unifies so he doesn't have to drop a belt once he unifies. Also regarding Teper vs Helenius I believe the winner is required to face Chisora. I think that will happen then they will fight for big title whoever is last man standing.
Depends on how much money Haymon offers him to fight Wilder. I think Wlad might want the fight in Germany and I'm not sure Wilder would go over. Though he might if he's offered a lot of money, he might have to go to Russia if he pursues Povetkin. All things considered Wilder will not escape next year and he'll finally be exposed as the fraud he is.
I do agree Wilder is a propped up titlist. Their is a desperate desire to manufacture a popular heavyweight here in the states. However his ability has not impressed and his quality of opponent is embarassing. The division is becoming interesting. Both Teper/Helenius and Jennings/Ortiz are quality match ups that are healthy for the division. I'm interested to see how the division shakes out between now and Christmas.
I think it will be Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs. There is a big interest in this match, Wlad will make a lot of money, it will be fight against former Champion, another to the legacy, and Wlad face 3 tough fight in a row, so he probably would get a lesser voluntary defence before face some top dog again. Lets face it he is not in his early 30 ...
Glazkov Won't happen soon. Few people know Glazkov. In his fight with Cunningham, the people fall asleep waiting for Kovalev-Pascal. The IBF asks about every 2 years for Wlad to make a voluntary ... so I guess he won't fight Glazkov until the end of 2016. Probably this would go on a purse bid with Hrunov catching the fight and stage it in the Dombass or on Crimea. Wilder Klitschko has a 3-fight-deal with HBO. Fury is the third fight after Pulev and Jennings. So Klitschko may be able to fight Wilder next (on Showtime) ... if he doesn't extend his contract with HBO. If he does, i'm not sure whether Wilder/Haymon would be willing to fight on HBO ... or HBO would like to stage a fight with Wilder. Guess Wilder would fight everything outside the BoxRec Top20 as long as possible. Maybe Wilder takes the fight with Klitschko if he had either to fight Wlad or Povetkin. But maybe Ryabinski offers more money for a Povetkin fight than Klitschko does. Povetkin Povetkin wants the WBC belt ... a rematch with Klitschko isn't expected to happen (soon) Ortiz Has to handle Jennings first. Maybe if he beats the Chagaev/Browne-winner. Maybe if he's not tested positive again. Maybe 2017 Same thing for Jennings. If Jennings beats Ortiz and gets one of the dozen of WBA belts (maybe beat Chagaev/Browne too), a rematch might be an option. Joshua To early for Joshua. I don't think Joshua (or his handlers) would take this fight until 2017 or 2018. Teper/Helenius The Teper-Helenius-winner is a good option. Both are known more or less in germany. Decent opponent for a voluntary defense. Both fights could be made after Helenius leaving Sauerland Event. Chageav/Browne Klitschko won't fight Chagaev again unless the WBA wants a mandatory defense (which they wouldn't). But if Browne gets his fight with Chagaev soon and beats him (maybe on german television ... who knows), he might be an option for Wladimir. What i'm thinking march/april 2016: Teper/Helenius winner fall 2016: Browne if he beats Chagaev. Maybe Ortiz/Jennings-winner if HBO endorse him as opponent winter/spring 2016/17: Glazkov if he remains on IBF #1 spot summer 2017: Wilder-Povetkin-winner end of 2017: Maybe some guy like Parker, Breazeale, Joshua
1. Fury 28.11.15 2. Shannon Briggs (for real!!! Because glazkov will get spanked by wilder) march 2016 3. winner of povetkin/wilder ( wilder will get beaten Bad) total unification and mega money fight against povetkin and retire. November 2016. If he fights on then i See possible fights vs teper/helenius (makes sense in germany). I think he wont fight Joshua/dillian/Parker anymore.
I want to see Wilder-Povetkin winner, for Joshua it's too early at the moment so really the best opponent he can get other than those three, unless Wilder-Povetkin doesn't look like it can happen soon then one of the two, preferably Wilder as Povetkin has already been beat so the former is more interesting. But yeah, other than them I'll choose Glazkov from that list. Also, for the likes of Parker, Ortiz it's also too early, let them build their way up, not just throw them into the lion's den.
