Who next do you want see against Wladimir?

:good

 

If Holy can get fans to buy PPV to see him fight Savarese he could do much better draw with fight against Wlad. I wish boxing had tournaments like tennis instead of being the business it is. If no unification bout is available in the near future a fight with Holy and Wlad makes perfect commercial sense.
This fight is probably already in the works in the minds of both camps.

 

Finally someone has some common sense around here.:happy

 

1. I wouldn't bet money on Peter. Oleg is always under-estimated. Did you pick Rahman to beat him? Most people did west of Moscow.

2. Sanders is finshed, after fight with Vitali had nose broken ear drained of blood took serious beating. Much too long a lay off plus age spells no chance for Corrie.

3. Ibragimov/Chagaev Too far off Wlad needs to fight someone before them.

4. Nicolai? That's interesting I can see it happening

 

after going though all the outstanding HW out there!!:think

he should fight McCall then valuev:verysad

 

I think Wlad should fight Holyfield then the winner should fight Ibragimov/Chagev

 

wald can beat them all, the pressure style works well aganst wald but the only one who can hit those type of puches and still come forward is sam peter.

i think wald beats him to, but if you need a boxer to pressure wald then you need sam peter.i mean it will be jab jab clinch but oh well.sam is the only guy that has the best chance at beating him, dont mean he will but he has the best chance.

id say wald should fight sam or is big bro after he gets a belt.

 

You know the old saying "Follow the Money", well the money fight would be Holyfield. Then the winner goes for a unification bout. Don't count the old man out. They did before his fight against Tyson, saying he could get killed in the ring, blah blah blah, and he ends up twisting Tysons' ass (twice). The odds when that fight was first annouced started at 25 to 1 for Tyson. So I wonder what they would be with this fight? Don't get me wrong this will be Holyfields biggest challenge, considering he's going on 45 (October). In his prime he'd have little trouble with the big robot.

 

How about a rematch wih Brewster? Lamon may be on next time. Right now the score is even: 1 TKO ea.

 

Top 5 available opponents
1 Nikolai Valuev
2 Juan-Carlos Gomez
3 Oliver McCall
4 Hasim Rahman
5 Sergei Lyakovitch

Backup opponents incase none of the above agree
1 Vladimir Virchis
2 Eddie Chambers
3 Donnel Holmes
4 Chris Arreola
5 Corrie Sanders

Long-shot opponents
1 Tye Fields
2 Malik Scott
3 Jean-Francois Bergeron
4 Michael Moorer
5 Oleg Platov

Personally I'd prefer if he fought Gomez or Valuev. There really isn't any credible fighters left for him to fight outside the titleholders which are all tied up until at least next year. The up and coming european and american heavyweights are still unproven and none of them besides Povetkin has really done anything to separate themselfs from the rest.

 

If not another titleholder, he needs to fight someone on a winning streak, especially after Brewster had lost his last fight before fighting Wlad.

1. any other titleholder-but that may not be possible

2. Sanders - would be a good fight for Wlad's career, to avenge another loss

3. Virchis - hard puncher who is a credible opponent, even though he's not a top five, he's one of the best that is available.

4. McCall - his long winning streak and ability to come inshape, even at his age, would make this battle of the ages, a fairly interesting fight.

I don't think Wlad should fight someone as lackluster as Rahman is now, or someone whose just been beaten, like Valuev or Liakhovich. And the others on that first list are not known enough to be seen as a credible fight for Klitshcko.

But if a unification fight can't be put together, Ild most like to see him avenge Sanders, but I think we'll see Wlad fight Vladimir Virchis sometime around November, or so. I can see that happening next, yes.

 

just a ****in unification.

 

Skip the tuneup, just feed him the other beltholder first.

 

According to the new article on the ESB frontpage;

I realize they don't know when the next fight will be, or whom will be available, or willing or whatnot...........but, at the end of this year .??????

He's barely making the twice a year pace that Lewis made famous.

It's obvious that he can't get a unification fight next, seeing as how the two available titleholders of the three (Chag and Ibrag) are fighting each other in October, and the next opportunity to fight the Chag Ibrag winner would be early spring, at best, (assuming the winner will agree, which is doubtful).

So that said, you'd think that Klitschkko would see fit to fight someone else by November, or so, as he waits for this new two titleholding champ to be ready. (again, assuming that the Chag Ibrag winner will take the fight, which is very doutful)

So I think we'll see Wlad fight Virchis sometime around December, or so. The chances for a further unification of the Chag Ibrag winner, and Wlad, will still be quite a long way off.
