    It will be Rahman. I will be shocked if it is anyone else.

    3 and 4 have a fight.

    6 wants another fight first.

    7 been there, done that.

    8 has a fight.

    9 has a fight.

    10 has proven he is afraid of them.

    He won't go below the Top 10. HBO won't approve the rest.

    It should be him or Rahman, but Toney has proven he won't fight either of the "sisters."

    said the same thing. kill 2 birds w/ one stone. fight a named american
    and take care of a top ten ranked fighter all at once. Wlad is cleaning
    out the division if he makes the toney fight.

    Make it Golota Please!!

    A Healthy Vitali would potentially retire Golota, but Wlad vs. Golota is interesting. Golota's "tactics" would be new to Wlad (how do you spar to prepare for low blows?).

    Golota has a decent jab and can still punch. Wlad probably wouldn't catch a cold Golota (equal chance of Golota catching a cold, tentative Wlad).

    It would be a good test for Wlad, since Brewster and Lewis both destroyed Golota (styles do make fights interesting).

    Please not RAHMAN!

    If Golota could get out of his scheduled fight, then Golota. This is for the Dec. schedule or a different schedule? No fighter in his right mind would fight Vlad on short notice.

    Beat me to it. Yes, Vlad could still catch a cold Golota. If he doesn't it could be interesting for a little while.

    Toney wouldn't and shouldn't take the fight with only a months notice unless he's been in the gym and has been keeping his weight down.

    $1.5 million. More than Toney can get anywhere else by a mile. In fact, they high balled him. Much more than is his worth at this level.

    Yeah OK. Toney aside from Wlad was the most popular heavyweight.
