    Hasim Rahman, VK did not fight him so Wlad should fight Rahm.

    Or Juan Carlos Gomez, the mandatory of VK.

    I´d like to see him fight Toney or Shannon Briggs.

    Toney is a useless fight. Not only is Toney washed up, but he'd never beat Wlad because he's a 5'9" defensive fighter with no power and no workrate, but a rock hard chin. The jabs and 1-2's will probably bounce off his skull until the corner throws in the towel, very similar to the Brewster rematch, except that Toney doesn't have a puncher's chance.


    Dimitrenko would be a good fight, as would Arreola be, though be should prove their worthy a bit more. Rahman is a good "stay warm" fight for a Povetkin fight in jan/feb 2009.

    Not really. It would probably be the 3rd or 4th most lucrative bout Wlad could do.

    Toney would have been a more competitive fight a few years ago, but I'd still like to see it happen now. Rahman is an obvious option as perhaps is Shannon Briggs. Golota would also be a viable option but for some reason I don't see Wlad agreeing to fight any of the aforementiond. My guess is that he goes for Arreola.

    I would pay to see Wlad retire that fool Rahman

    Wlad should try to unify versus Valuev. Valuev has no opponent for his december date and was granted an optional defense by the WBA before fighting Chagaev. If no agreement can't be reached with Valuev, he should seek to fight Toney as this fight would be very marketable even on short notice. Fighting Toney would also represent little risk and add a legend to his resume.

    It's Wladimir Klitschko in Germany. Making money is not going to be a problem. He's the #1 HW in the world so people will watch even if he's fighting a master can like Ray Austin.

    If he takes a fight with Toney it'll be for reasons other than money..because all parties involved are getting enough of that just on Wlad premise alone.

    Rahman seems like the best fit.

    I'd like to see Wlad v.s. Arreola. The Champ v.s. a raw puncher that has no fear. Could actually be highly entertaining.:good

    I don't see Arreola or his people taking that fight right now. Arreola was used by Wlad as a sparring partner, and Chris was just amazed with Wlad. Was talking about how great he is... and said that he thinks Wlad's left hook is the best punch in the division. He said that he could never see it coming. I don't think that Arreola really wants that fight right now.

    Why not try Shannon Briggs or Liakovich?

    A Valuev fight should be made. All of you scream and whine about unification both have a fight scheduled for the SAME DAY with no opponent.

    Don King will not risk his last belt against Wlad but I am sure he will be more than willing to let Golota who has no belt and nothing to lose fight Wlad.

    Don King once again is going to block unification yet people here will blame the Klitschko's.

    It will probably be Glass Jaw Rahman or Golota.
