Who next do you want see against Wladimir?

I hope he doesn´t fight Holyfield...that would be plain silly.

A peter rematch won´t happen in a while....nor won´t a winner of chagaev/ibragimov....

How about an autumn fight versus Valuev ????

 

The American fighters bring the most money to the table, especially a
potential fight with the legendary Evander Holyfield. The reinvigorated
Holyfield with his two-fisted attack and dirty in-fighting skills, especially
the use of his head which messed up both Tyson and Rahman wiil give
Wlad some trouble. The general public will love this fight not just diehard fight fans. Both fighters will make boatloads of money and
both deserve it.

 

Hmmmm...

Plenty of options: Liakhovich, Valuev, Rahman, Virchis, Chagaev/Ibragimov winner, Holyfield.

I think he'll end up fighting Holyfield or the Chag/Iggy winner. If Holyfield fought Holmes and Foreman, why Wlad can't fight Holyfield?

 

A tune up with Toney or Holy, or a fight with Valuev, followed by the Chagaev Ibragimov winner. After that whoever comes out on top with the whole McCall/Vitali/Peter/Maskaev mess (obviously he won't fight Vitali). Once that's done hopefully some of the contenders would have hopefully stepped up, and have scalps that look decent (Dimitrenko, Virchis, Bidenko, etc), with a tune up here and there.

After that some of the prospects comming up like Povetkin, Haye, Solis will have established themselves in the division. If Wlad can hang in there for a few more years, good comp and ATG status should be very achievable.

 

Liakhovich, Virchis, TOS or Ruiz

I read Wlad's next fight is planed to staged in the USA so he probably won't go for a European fighter, I think. No point in fighting a European in the USA.

 

Regardless of who Holyfield fights, please stop with this b.s., " it will be pain ful to watch, I hope he stops fighting, b.s."....The guy is one of the great est and if 95% of the ASPIRING 25 year old heavyweights out there woke up tomorrow as good as Evander was in his last fight they would be thanking the lord above...... Fact is MOST will never even be that good. So WHY all the sympathy for Evander?

Just treat the guy as if you couldn't see his face and like any other aspiring fighter and lets see what he has.

Evander is fior real, his skill is for real and whether or noty he ever becomes world champ again (I believe he will) he is better TODAY than 95% of the aspiring guys out there 20 years younger.

People in america, stop putting limits on people because of age. While you went and had kids, got a job, sat on your butts for 10 hours a day working and stopped training HE...EVANDER continued training at a top level, never slowed down, never let society dictate when he should stop something and as a result is still very very capable.

In other sports that don't have head trauma I think, as a trainer, one can compete well into there 50's a a high level.

Randy Coture won the championship UFC at 45 or so, The red sox dropped Clemens ten years ago because of old age and he's had his best years ever recently (haha, what a bad move that was), many other major league ball players are wekll into there 40's and some 50 like the first baseman Mets.

Leave Evander alone and simply stop mentioning his age or being worried about him....unless you are goijng to be worried about every 25 year old boxer not close to his skill level.

Klitchko looked awesome tonight and made leaps and bounds improvement. Holyfield was mopre active in his last fight then most heavyweights or anyweight fighter I've seen recently.

Boxing is looking way up, but they must embrace Holyfield the way MMA embraced and embraces Cotoure.... and they must stop with the singing national anthems with fighters in the ring and on tv...do that before the show starts, get the preview going and bring the fighters out to fight...this is what they must do to keep people tuned into boxing....the greatest combat sport, with the greatest skilled fighters in the world.

 

I wanna see Wlad fight Vitali.

 

Just as well there isnt a third brother eh?:yep Is there a sister? I bet she's a six foot goddess.

 

Either the winner of Chagaev vs. Ibragimov for the WBC strap

or

The winner of Peter vs. Maskaev for the WBA and WBO straps.

Preferably each in turn, and then he becomes the undisputed heavyweight champion.

I think Chagaev would take the challenge if he won. I think that the Peter/Maskaev winner would want an easy defence first before putting it on the line.

 

I don't see anyone who would be 'worthy' of fighting Wlad other than the belt holders just look at the top 20 HW today, no one comes close. Go ahead and pick a name, its not even funny. Wlad right now needs to fight a unifcation, no need to 'hurt' anyone unnessesarily:beat :deal

 

Sanders or Purity would be a fine tune up.

 

I wouldn't want him to bother with Rahman, unless Rahman could come out the winner of the Rahman-McCall match I'd love to see, although that would maybe be the more appropriate for Vitali: the only two guys who got lucky enough to beat Lewis, and the one who almost beat him but got unlucky...

 

Agreed. Unification is at hand! The only problem is he'd have to wait around for the winner of Ruslan vs. Sultan and that may be too long a wait. Maybe he can fight either Holyfield or Sanders while he waits..................
