    Im going with Chisora, think he would give wlad the toughest fight out of the current heavies, I guess its not a popular opinion and people prefer helenius or arreola for example, but I think chisora's kind of smokin style and wlads lack of inside game would cause him to get roughed up to the body and maybe tagged with something big, on the other hand a wlad right hand would shake him up as well.

    I think the only one might be David Price.

    I'm not saying he would beat Wlad, I just think because of his power he'd have a chance.

    Probably only Helenius because of the big punch, and that would be a slim chance.

    Price too, but his chin is by reputation worse than Wladdy's.

    Arreola....only because he prolly hits the hardest on that list...If he got in better shape than id give him a better chance...He should be around 235....That should be his target weight.

    Only Chisora and Helenius (and perhaps Arreola but I don't think that's very likely). I can see them KOing Wlad, the other fighters are a bit unproven so cannot really give an opinion on them as I do not know how they would fare against top opposition.

    I see Perez is fighting Darnell Wilson on March 24.

    Need a smooth Mauler like tyson to beat wlad at this stage, but there is no 1 around like a prime tyson. Therefore Wlad will rule until he retires

    None of them, outside of a fluke lucky punch.. but Wlad should/would dominate them all.

    Yes. Wilson is a disappointing opponent for Perez, as he was for Boytsov.

    Went for Price and that's more based on potential.

    More Arreola talk i see, anyone realise he's not beat a top 50 HW since 2008, but we don't care about that kinda thing any more right?

    The only HW who has even a remote chance of beating Wlad is Haye, and we all know how that turned out. Haye has the combination of speed, power and awkwardness to have at least a chance in a rematch. Everyone else gets demolished without question.

    Chisora and Price both are exciting potential opponents as they possess power. The others have not shown the level to be talked about yet. I fear Price will play the waiting game and wait for Klits to retire and then start challenging for the titles left behind. If I was his manager this would definitely be a plan I would be considering.
