I have reevaluated this and now have changed my mind: Arreola could get lucky. All the others have proved nothing,
I don't give any of them a good chance. Pulev has the size, a good jab and decent right hand and I hope will be competitive. But he lacks power, isn't great defensively and fights in a manner that will suit Wlad. Chisora showed against Vitali he can apply pressure, can slip the jab, and get inside. He's also strong enough not to be easily manhandled in the clinches. So he may give Wlad a tough fight, but he lacks the single shot power and there are doubts about his durability since the Haye loss. Fury has size and a very physical, mauling style when in close that could see Wlad struggle, it maybe the only time we see Wlad manhandled in the clinches. But Fury's chin is a weakness, he's clumsy and uncoordinated and easy to hit. I can see Wlad picking Fury off like he did with Wach but this time getting the KO. Stiverne has skills and power, but he's too short and doesn't have great agility so will be out of range and get picked off. Arreola Doesn't even deserve a response. Joshua, Wlad will probably be retired by the time Joshua is ready for a shot.
Fury if his chin holds up. That is very unlikely though. Maybe in a few years when he matures little more and Wlad ages and slows down.
I think it's Windmiller, cause he might land a lucky punch that sticks. Still I give it 8:1 odds there about of that really happening. Pulev looks to be the best of the bunch when it comes to a best of the rest tourney. But not much chance of him beating Wlad. Arreola and Stiverne are tough, but both suckers for the jab. Not really the way to go if you want to beat Wlad. Fury is too easy to hit and doesn't have the chin.
Wald being the best out of this generation is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome. Not really much of an achievement.
If Fury takes win over Chisora, I want to see Fury-Wilder eliminator in the end of this year. Winner will fight Wlad in 2015 spring.
Lol @ Deontay Wilder having a chance. From the moment that left jab lands, it will be all lights out. Wladimir wins that fight 10 times out of 10. Same goes for Fury. I think Wlad might have more difficulties with a brawler, pressure fighter. Chisora and Arreola might give him the thoughest fight at this moment. Maybe add Mike Perez to that list. Others on that list: Pulev would lose on wide decision, maybe TKO, and Joshua is way too green. Jennings won't be able to deal with Wlad's power. I thought last year Wladimir was getting old and out of his prime, but he really looked fantastic yesterday. Not only because he was fighting a C-level boxer, but he looked in great shape, was very active and even threw some body shots and uppercuts.
Odlanier Solis is maybe the only one who could have stopped Wlad. But unfortunately he never dedicated to take pro career seriously and we never saw how good he could have become. Mike Perez has the tools to beat Klitschko, but he needs to improve a lot, need more explosive and one punch power. He is still young and can make it.
Wlad will avoid Fury like the plague. Somebody his own size who he ain't bullying with his dirty **** all night.
