    or will he just hold the title hostage for another 12 months, further delay the crowning of a new undisputed king and simply bore us all silly about how he and wlad now rule the HW division?

    he's never going to face wlad and the WBA title situation is messed up with valuev and chagaev providing he gets back to fitness most likely having to face each other in the first half of next year for that strap, if vitali's still around then will he target the WBA belt so the brothers have an equal portion? so many horrible scenarios if vitali wins. wlad is just one strap away from being the first legit HW champ since lennox, peter-wlad II next year will crown a new king providing sam gets through this.

    a vitali win on the other hand is bad for boxing.........

    I think he already said that he wants to accomplish the Klitschko dream by both of them holding titles at the same time then he will retire. Anything can change though depending how he performs.

    When Vitali knocks Peter out, I expect him to fight again in May/June for another strap, his promoters will have to pay the going rate though as no one will want a piece of him after this.

    My guess is that he fights once more before retiring for good.

    I´d love to see Vitali fight Valuev. Would that be a possible match based on rankings etc.?

    I don't think he'll hold the belt for 12 months until stripped or anything.

    My gut feeling is he'll win, enjoy all the Klitschko Dream celebrations for a couple months, then retire again. Peter vs someone for the vacant WBC.

    See how the fight goes. If Vitali wows himself with how he performs then he may go on. Valuev could be very tempting. If he feels rough or loses, probably not.

    If Vitali fights Wlad that would be huge, I just can't get my hopes up for it without conclusive commitment.

    If the fight happens, Valuev gets knocked out for the 1st time in his career. I really do hope he won't challenge Vitali. He can't beat him.

    I am really hoping he fights a few more times. Honestly the most you could hope for would be 2-3 more fights as he is 38 now anyways.


    If he does well like others said he will probably fight once more but after that I am thinking its more likely he retires. His main motivation for this fight was just to have a belt while wlad does. I expect him in great form and to win big as he is very motivated.

    After that though, he doesnt have much motivation to fight on. He is older, and he has other interests like politics and that stuff.

    It would be great to get a few fights out of him but probably max will be one more.

    Oh yeah and as far as all this Peter winning is better for the division.

    **** Peter. I dont want him as a champ anyways. He is a fat lazy cheat. He almost got KOed by ****ing McCline. I could give two shits about him loosing his belt. He isnt a good champ for the division anyways.

    there was an article where he said they wanted all Heavyweight belts in the Klitschko family and that he would like to fight Valuev.
