What happens after Vitali retires?

Wladimir is ALREADY the linear, legitimate heavyweight champion of the world.

The WBC will ensure Arreola is promoted to "full" titlist if Vitali retires without facing him. If Vitali does fight him and beats him again, the WBC will sanction a bout between Arreola and whoever is the #1 contender to determine the winner of the vacant title. Either way you slice it, Jose Suliaman will ensure Arreola holds the WBC.

David Haye and Tomasz Adamek will probably try to wiggle themselves into a fight against Arreola after Vitali retires. The question is IF they can do that. I think Arreola stops Adamek in a rematch so Don Jose would be down with that fight, but Haye would be a legitimate challenge for Chris - it's a 50/50 fight.

Long story short, Wlad continues his historic reign as linear/legitimate champion and eventually adds the WBC to his collection once Don Jose gets his Mexican titlist. Without his big brother to split duties with, Wlad gets to take on all comers himself and winds up facing some actually interesting/capable contenders over the next few years.

cut out all the fluff and flowery BS this is pretty much it. The HW division is as about as deep as the shallow end of the pool. regardless who grabs the other belt and whether or not they fight wlad, wlad will still be considered the champ. Hopefully, the top guys will start fighting each other with a trinket free and develop some damn skills to challenge wlad.

My stomach turns with the thought of most of these heavies today . . . to bad so many old school trainers have died off, these guys need them!
