    Sanders was recently KO'd by Osborne Machimana (14-5-1) so you can forget about him. He even didn't bother to get in some kind of shape for this fight.

    I think from the fighters you mentioned there only Golota has a small chance. He has a name and he is King's fighter, so at least he can get a titleshot easily. The problem is getting a titleshot and winning a belt are two different things.

    Holy still has a name, but he just lost his chance so I doubt he has enough time left to get back. I am not going to discuss if he is shot completely or only in 90% ;-), the bottomline is that he is not getting any younger and by the time he will get another titleshot he will be just punching bag.

    Botha? I like him and in his prime he was almost good enough to win some minor title. But it was more than 10 years and probably about 40 pounds ago.

    And I am not sure if we should consider Vitali at all. There are gossips about his comeback every couple of months, but so far he only managed to lose to training camp (five or six times in a row).

    None of the guys listed. Vitali Kltischko would be my pick.
