    I'm trying to figure out what happens if Vitali wins then retires. Stiverne and Austin fought for a title eliminator to become WBC mandatory, Stiverne won.

    - Stiverne being ranked #4 or Austin being ranked #7 makes no sense.

    - #4 and #7 fighting for mandatory doesn't make sense.

    - Either guy being ranked inside the top 30 doesn't make sense.

    Both are Don King fighters, makes sense now. He obviously has his hooks in the WBC. Typically the #1 and #2 would fight for the vacant belt, would the 'mandatory' Stiverne somehow fight for the vacant title instead?

    the rankings are **** all around but European Champion Dimitrenko vs Arreola would be more deserving than ****ing Stiverne. I'm guessing it will be Arreola vs Stiverne. Don King fighter vs Mexican-American Arreola would please WBC President and Mexican Jose Sulaiman.

    WBC rankings

    1. Tomasz Adamek
    2. Chris Arreola
    3. Alexander Dimitrenko
    4. Bermane Stiverne
    5. Johnathon Banks
    6. Denis Boytsov
    7. Juan Carlos Gomez
    8. Chauncy Welliver
    9. Mariusz Wach
    10. Ray Austin
    11. Eric Molina
    12. Luis Ortiz
    13. Robert Helenius
    14. Kubrat Pulev
    15. Tyson Fury

    God willing a Don King fighter wouldn't get the belt. No way King lets his new "champion" lose the bet to Wlad. There would be little chance of a Unified HW Champ.

    I hope not, but his next opponent is anyone's guess, given how there is so few legit opponents left.

    Vitali vs Helenius is about all I can think of.

    All I know for certain is if Vitali really retires, then Ray Austin will get a eliminator fight. You all know this already right?

    If all goes as planned in the Adamek fight, Vitaly will not retire. Especially when there is an easy payday out there against Tarver(declaired he wants a Klitschko fight). If Arreola backs out on Wlad then he may get Tarver but if not then Vitaly will get him after Adamek.

    In summation; Do not be shocked if Vitaly fights Tarver in the U.S. after Adamek.

    I have no clue what the WBC will do to establish their top contender. I do expect Stiverne & Shirley to be involved in another eliminator. Chambers has his second eliminator coming up for the IBF.

    Tarver?

    Its one thing for Tarver to want a big, undeserved payday, but has camp Klitschko expessed any interest in Tarver?

    I hope not.
