    Does povetkin really want Wlad at this point? I don't remember him calling him out...not that he hasn't....but maybe his handlers arn't going to rush him to fight Wlad so quickly. But since the other belts will be on hold for a while yet I think povetkin is the only real choice. Haye needs at least 1 impressive win at HW before he earns a shot.

    Big Bad Wlad should keep doing what he's been doing.

    Fighting the best out there.

    Povetkin seems to be next and BBW will play rock em sock robots with that guy.

    Povetkin aint ready for WK yet.

    Unification fights are important too. If the chance arises to unify then he needs to jump on it.

    Biggest thing Wlad needs to do is fight more than twice a year, face the best, and keep winning.

    And maybe a non boring fight wouldnt be too much to ask either.

    Retire and devote his life to boring his family instead of boring boxing fans. Jab and Grab.

    You're clearly a Wlad hater. Who will be your new messiah when Wlad KO's Davey boy? Let me suggest Chris Arreola? Maybe you'll beat the same drum as Punisher & FortyOunce with Sam Peter?

    1. Fight Povetkin

    2. Fight Valuev-Ruiz winner (unification)

    3. Fight Haye


    After that, he has cleaned the division.

    You should've put a 3rd option in your poll- Retire And Stop Boring Us All To Death With More Fights Like Ibragimov And Thompson.

    I hope he fights Haye- he will lose. He was never anywhere near as good as Vitali, he is one of the very worst heavyweight no1s ever and should quit before he gets KO'd.

    I just want to see Wlad fight a righty again, honestly which one doesn't matter a whole lot at this point. I'd like to see him keep the belts, but since we know he's on top it doesn't matter as much. Yeah the last two weren't the most exciting fights, but I never expected them to be, so if he fights a righty we can see what he really has to offer. Some think he may be slipping... after all he's fought 54 times as a pro... but it's not fair to judge that on the tough lefties he's faced recently.

    Beating Haye does little for his legacy. He should proceed with unification, if possible, and let Haye earn a fight with him.

    If Wlad fought evey big-mouthed nobody (Briggs, Gomez, Toney, Ruiz, Audley Harrison, etc.) that called him out, he wouldn't even have time to satisfy his mandatories.

    Fight Valuev and unify and take the WBA belt away. Then se what comes of the VK-Peter match and rematch Peter.
