Who could either Klitschko now beat to improve their legacy?

Yeah, Valuev is definitely HOFer, and he's still not shot. He has had 2 yrs off to allow his shoulder plenty of time to heal, and is free of Don King next month.
I'd really like to see Valuev take a decent warm up in the summer, get his timing back, then petition the WBA for an eliminator vs Adamek in the fall. Then he'd be in line for Wlad, and of course Vitali had always dreamed about this fight, so Wlad could fight Potvetkin in the winter while Vitali takes on Valuev.

I'd like to see Vitali fight Stiverne late summer. Maybe August. Then fight Valuev in winter, then retire if Haye won't take his 30% offer.

I'd like to see Wlad fight Arreola in the summer and Potvetkin in the winter.

God forbid Rahman beats Potvetkin. That would almost guarantee him another unearned title shot, and who wants to see Wlad pummel him again for 7 straight rounds. :rofl

 

Vitaly:
KO Haye
Beat Valuev
Pulev for bonus then retire.

Wlad:
Povetkin
Arreola
Mithchell
Helenius
for last Fury then retire

Either can fight Boystov.

 

Wlad fighting Momerk and then rematching Thompson will do **** for his legacy.

 

You have a problem with cruisers? Michael Spinks beat Holmes. Twice. Moorer beat Holyfield when he was #1. Speaking of old dogs Foreman was not only around but was winning titles during 90s. Bruce Seldon - Joe Hipp for WBA title, anyone?

 

The real ATG's didn't need a tag team partner to do it though.

 

wladimir:

arreola (a motivated version!)
chisora or povetkin
fury or price
solis
helenius
wilder (final fight if wilder actually fights some top ten opponents in the next year)

there are enough good opponents for wladimir to beat the record for most defenses (25). he needs to win 6 more fights then he can retire. but if he has to fight thompson again, then make that 7 more fights. thompson is not worthy.

vitali:

simply being active and beating haye/valuev/one of the above etc is enough to help his legacy due to how old he is now

 

Nobody any good wants to fight Wlad. Povetkin, Valuev, Tyson Fury, Arreola and others all come up with excuses to avoid Wlad. That pretty much secures his legacy as an all time great. Never before have the top dogs been so afraid of the recognized champion. Also, he just toyed with his biggest threat lately, David Haye reducing him to showing his toe to justify his pathetic non-performance. Wlad should probably just retire and do what he likes best; sports activity and charity work.

 

In This Era of Heavy Weight boxing. They have nothing left to prove!

 

No i dont have a problem with cruisers, youve missed my point if you think that was what I was getting at. Though i will say it is not a sign of quality that so many cruisers can come up to heavy and instantly become the most interesting contenders in the division.

Also are you comparing Mormeck and Huck with Spinks and Moorer? Because that seems a bit of a stretch to me.

Also Foreman was a great heavyweight, he is ranked top 10 all time for a reason one being his second reign as the oldest ever heavyweight champion but he is very much an exception. Shannon Briggs and Hasim Rahman are not getting title shots because they are great heavyweights, they are up there because the division the Klits dominate is not very good.

They should fight Wilder ASAP, then Mitchell, Haye, knock out Chisora one some desert island if necessary. They should fight several times per year and clean out the entire heavyweight division, also go ahead and knock Scott Malik out as well.............

 

each other

 

Haye
Chisora
Povetkin

The Klitschkos have cleaned the division and just should keep winning until they become unmotivated.

 

I am not sure why you keep bringing up Huck as an example. He lost. Spinks moved up from LHW and beat Holmes in the first fight. At least you don't see cruisers winning HW titles anymore. If anything it means that the division is stronger.

 

What are you tlking about, you've complely ducked my post and replied with piffle. Spinks beats Holmes and Cruisers are not beating the Kitschkos so this division is stronger? Your not making sense.

FACT is this is the weakest heavyweight division in a long while.
