    Wlad would have beat Chagaev. Chagaev beat Valuev, and King won't let Valuev fight Wlad.

    Vitali will never fight him (at least not until now) becase they're brothers.

    The only fighters I'd like Wlad to face are: Haye, Povetkin and maybe a prospect like Arreola/Dimitrenko/Johnson.

    Even though I love Vitali, i'd prefer to see Wlad take it all. I'd love to see him beat Chag, fight Valuev, Povetkin, Haye, then stick around to defend it all against the likes of Arreola, dimitrenko and Jonhson to punctuate his career then I would be happy to see him retire.

    I would love to see him get knocked out again, I think that look nice on his resume.

    Sorry, yes, he has just turned 33. You are right.

    I don't think he will have too many more fights. 3 or 4 big money fights will leave him satisfied I'm sure.

    I dont think anyone out there can beat Wlad with the exception of Vitali, and possibly Haye if he can land a powerhouse shot.

    There is no reason Wlad cant fight for 3 or 4 more years. He hasnt been challenged or beat up in a LONG time. He averages 2 fights a year. He doesnt have any known injuries or health issues (like a broken back):hey

    No reason we cant see wlad undisputed and holding onto the crown for 3 more years. He will likely end up with a Larry Holmes like resume and will enter the top 20 and possibly a top 15 all time discussion.

    Im guessing 60-3 with over 50 knockouts, ****ing impressive by todays weak standards.

    Big money fights? Which big money fights?
    There are no big money fights in the hw division...that's how dry it is.

    The only two somewhat money fights out there are Haye-Klitschko and Klitschko-Klitschko (if you leave Lewis and Tyson out the picture),...but even those will hardly perform as big money fights.

    That's why Vitali has been bugging Lewis for so long and that's why Wlad is prepared to bug his mother.

    The likes of Pacman and Floy Mayweather would laugh out loud if they would get the amount of money offered that heavyweights are making.

    In Germany Wlad-Povetkin will be a big money fight. Wlad was paid like 13 million for Tony Thompson for christ sakes but you say there are no more big money fights for Klitschko? Do you know economics? Wlad-Dimintrenko would also be a big money fight. So would Wlad-Valuev etc. There are SEVERAL big money fights for Wlad left.

    It's just that to the American mainstream there probably haven't been any big Wladimir Klitschko fights, though Wladimir's been paid big money for them.
    And :lol: at you having 6666 posts. Kvlt.:yep

    You better do some research :lol::lol: Pacquiao made about $12M for the Hatton fight, which is about the same amount as Klitschko made against Tony Thompson.

    Arreola? Dimitrenko? Johnson? Nah! None of them has shown and proved that they can hold a candle to Wlad and be competitive with him in a box ring.
    I for one am not that keen on watching Wlad dismantle aforementioned fighters.

    Of course Haye and Povetkin are still out there.

    I would also like to watch Wlad fight rising shooting star Boytsov in about 12-18 months.Boytsov is fast and can punch,and unlike Haye his stamina is beyond any doubt.
    His chin hasnt really been tested yet,but I am positive that it will be if he fights Wlad.
