    And rank them in importance to you.

    1. Pulev
    The obvious one but I definitely expect this to be a dull fight.

    2. Solis
    Still is an ATG AM superstar. Needs to pull of a big win prior though.

    3. Perez
    The dark horse. Has the best chance of ending the Klitschko era.

    4. Stiverne.
    Only if he wins the WBC belt of course.

    5. Fury.
    On paper the biggest mismatch here but no doubt Fury would make the fight entertaining for non boxing reasons.

    1. Pulev
    Because Pulev

    2. Fury
    To get to see the look on Fury's face after he's been beaten to a pulp.

    3. Perez
    Just something about him that irritates me, I want Wlad to batter him

    4. Stiverne.
    Decent win for Wlad

    5. No obvious choices, whoever impresses the most.

    1. Kubrat Pulev. He's earned his shot.

    2. Tomasz Adamek. He's been in the top ten for awhile, and would be a good name on Wlad's resume.

    3. Deontay Wilder. Heavily hyped by the American media.

    4. Odlanier Solis. Olympic Gold Medal winner.

    5. Tyson Fury. He's a relevant name in the division these days.


    Also maybe Chris Arreola and/or Bermane Stiverne. And perhaps later in 2015 as a farewell fight, the winner of Jennings-Szpilka.

    Wilder.

    There's a chance he could score a one shot blowout like Sanders.

    1 Pulev the best heavyweight not named Klitschko IMO and has a good resume

    2 Fury makes it a tougher fight then people think, he won't jack it like Haye

    3 Mike Perez the only man who i think has a real chance vs Klitschko

    4 Deontay Wilder just to see that hypejob get ruined by Wladimir

    5 Dereck Chisora- He will give it a real real go and won't have any fear or be overaud by the prospect of facing Wladimir.

    The only way Klitschko loses is if he gets banged out early. Pulev brings nothing new to the table, he will be dismissed like all the others. A fight against a fast puncher like Wilder is much more interesting even if he only has w punchers chance.

    Whoever wins the WBA minor HW title. (Chagaev, Ortiz, Adamek, Oquendo, Jennings????) Beating another "titlist" will bolster Wlads ATG legacy. Adamek or the lesser known Ortiz would probably be best for his legacy. Adamek for his past accomplishments, and Ortiz b/c he'll have to have beaten a solid top 20 to get the fight.

    Whoever wins the WBC interim title. (Arreola, Stiverne, Wilder, Fury) Someone's gotta get the green belt eventually, and if Wlad can work with King, by maybe signing for one fight with the Don, it would be worth it if not just to make the claim, "undisputed". Either of the 4 involved in this vacant title hunt would equally bolster Wlads legacy. Wilder or Fury will definitely be title holders in the post Wlad era.

    Pulev.......at 31, he's likely to win a title someday down the rd. He's got probably the best footwork besides Scott, and his jab is second to none except Wlads. Pulevs got chin, decent power, great footwork and jab, and he's probably #3-#4 in the division. Would be a solid legacy fight for Wlad, and he's got a mandate. It's a fight that Wlad needs to secure his legacy.

    Leapei.....while Leapei looked over his head vs Johnson, he does have a more solid win than many of the other contenders. It seems Sauerland really screwed the pooch by letting Denis make the fight without a rematch clause, and the WBO really put the screws to their name by making Leapei the mandate without having won an eliminator. But it is what it is, and Leapei "earned" the fight with his win. I'd rather see and eliminator between Leapei and Hammer, but if the WBO is forcing the issue, then let it be so.

    Malik Scott/ Del Boy......so Malik is 0-1-1 against top 20s, and he's had yrs to get into the ix. But in his 2 top 20 fights in 2013, he schooled Glaskov but was robbed with a draw, and he was doing very well vs DelBoy before being the victim of a corrupt officiating. I'd like to see Scott get a rematch with DelBoy, get his redemption with a wide UD, and I'd like to see him show Wlad the kindof movement he hasnt had to see since Byrd 1 way back 2000?.

    Adamek WBA titlist
    Arreola WBC titlist
    Pulev IBF mandatory and future titlist
    Leapei mandatory with a top 10 win over Boystov
    Scott, if he gets his redemption rematch with Del and wins it. Or DelBoy if he can beat Scott legit.

    If Wlad can make and win those 5 fights, just like I listed em, then Wlad will move from #5 ATG to #2 ATG on my ATG HW list, behind only Lennox Lewis.:deal

    Very true......but he's wins fights....and even if he robbed Cunningham, he was still close enough IMO, to get a draw/gift.

    He wins fights, and no matter how many times he's in over his head, he always seems to find it in himself to earn the W.

    Like him or not in this fight, he's a resume booster for Wlad.:think

    I'd like to see Wladimir fight the 5 fighters that the boxing organizations mandate him to fight.

    Pulev
    Stiverne/Arreola winner
    Fury
    Wilder

    Povetkin or Haye, whoever is most impressive two years from now as these two are his best wins of late, and even rematches right now where both have lower stock would still be better wins than all of the above spare for Pulev.
