What heavyweight do you think will be champion after Wladimir Klitschko retires?

There won't be one champion... but 5 or 6 different ones who don't fight eachother, like in most weightclasses.
And many of them will have 3 succesful defences at most, even when fighting average opponents.

 

depends what age Wlad retires at, the way he looks he will easily fight past 40

 

something even worse for the division, but it will probably be true

 

Vitali is all but retired and Wlad's days are numbered, i wouldn't be surprised if he loses in the next 12 months and retires.

As for who will be the next dominate World Heavyweight champion we have a number of contenders who will be vying for that position and i think it'll be one of the following Heavyweights:

TYSON FURY
DEONTAY WILDER
DAVID HAYE
KUBRAT PULEV
BRYANT JENNINGS
ANDY RUIZ JR
AMIR MANSOUR
MAGOMED ABDUSALAMOV
LUIS ORTIZ

 

I hope its Tyson Fury, it will be good for the sport to have a charismatic & entertaining HW champion again

 

I don't know who will be champion but I can guarantee that the heavyweight division will be pure comedy.

 

Sadly, This. ^

I still think David Price will make it to one of the belts. He has all the tools. He made one mistake against Thompson, and likely learned from it.


Wilder will hold one of the other belts, unless -
A: It turns out he can't handle a pressure fighter, or
B: No good opponent ever agrees to fight him.


Jennings has a very good shot, if he keeps improving both his skills and his power, both of which seem to be happening.


Fury is obviously a wild card. He's big & dumb, with lots of flaws, but also lots of strengths. If someone can control him the way Roach controlled Pac, he has a chance, I guess.


Glazkov no longer deserves to be on ANY list, at all. He's done.

------------------



Oh, and **** David Haye.

 

But look at it another way:

Assuming that every fighter on that list fixes whatever problems they currently have. (This is theoretically possible for every one of them.) In THAT case, which of them has the offensive tools to literally dominate the HW division, and for a long time?


Only two: Wilder and Fury.

 

Malik Scott is infinitely more skilled than anyone else listed there. Only Haye, Mansour and Jennings come close. Too slick, too black.

 

at people rating Wilder over Jennings. I can understand people disregarding OG Malik on age grounds but that glass-jawed ***** wouldnt stand a chance against Jennings.

 

****, pick any four

 

Amir Monsour?????????????????

You do know he has had like 4 opportunities to take big fights, and at 39 yo he continues to move at a snails pace IRT LOC.

He might be 45 and have seen Wladimir and even another top Champion retire before he gets a "paper title" shot.:rofl:rofl
