    I agree but there still in the top 5 potential opponents for the brothers.

    the povetkin fight went to purse bids and he turned it down...what else can they do.

    Yeah - the Povetkin fight was a strange one. The brothers recent resumes are bad relatively, but for the era? They're top class.

    They're fighting crap opponents but realistically...

    Only Haye, Povetkin, Solis, Adamek and Boytsov are good fights.

    And the Haye fight has fallen through for whatever reason I can't be bothered getting into it, Boytsov is not deemed ready, Povetkin has turned down Wlad numerous times. So the pickings really are slim.

    Valuev's ****ing awful though. The only particularily exciting opponents on the horizon are Adamek and Haye, and I doubt either Klitschko would have a problem with fighting these guys next if they were willing to. It does seem they like negotiations their way but that's boxing, they're the bigger draws, Shane Mosley beat Oscar De La Hoya twice and in a third fight De La Hoya still wanted the bigger split so it fell apart, but he's the one making the money so that's how it goes.
