    Well, IMO he needs to fight and beat at least somebody of notice to earn the right to fight the #1 HW.

    obviously but that's by the books....

    i dont think it'll be too long if HBO already had him on a card

    who should he fight to prove his right to face the champ?

    i'd say Golota, Sultan (not fighting for 08 tho), and Povetkin and he's good to go.

    If Dimitrenko fights Klitschko he's gettig stopped inside 2 rounds, maybe 1.

    Totally agree. Wlad shouldn't allow a mickey mouse organisation stand in the way of unification of the three proper belts.

    Not at all, he won a lot of 12 round fights at a high level which is a great achievement. He just wasn't a champion.
