    There as been a lot of talk of Byrd and Brock fighting a eliminator for shot at Wlad, bad idea I think:-( Though I think there should be a eliminator for a shot at Wlad I don't think those to should fight each other for it.:nono My pick would be........

    Hasim Rahman vs Sergei Lyakhovich

    Who would you guys pick for a eliminator for shot at Wladimir?:huh

    I personaly prefer Rahman, so we can finally see him getting KTFO into retirement.

    Well, neither Hasim or Serguei are noticeable.
    I'd say, this kid.. Chris Arreola fights someone noteworthy and puts himself in poisiton for a eliminator.

    Please! Areola first needs to fight and beat a Top 25 fighter before even thinking about an eliminator let alone title shot.

    He is ranked #10 by the Ring.
    And from what I have seen he's got some tools, let him fight Virchis, like Stinky says. AND then get a title-elim.

    Damn, I knew it. This ****ing Ring Magazine puts un undeserving fighter into their Top 10 and there are people ready to jump on his bandwagon.

    I wouldn't go that far, Im not implying he's ready for a title shot, Im only saying, if he fights a guy noticeable.. he could get himself ready for a title-elim :good

    Why, he said lets him fight Virchis first then elliminator.
    Its alway a good custom that up comers fight each other
    before get to title shot position.

    Well, fighting puffs like Derek Berry 12-8-1 definetly does not help this cause.

    But fighting Virchis before getting to eliminator position is right way.

    Maskaev vs Peter or Chagaev vs Ibragimov:good

    Wlad should only be chasing the other champs and REAL resopect at this point. Outside of those two?? Corrie Sanders would be significant so that Wlad can claim to have beaten every opponent he faced similar to Lennox lewis.

    The rest of thw Hw's should be squaring off vs each other to move up the rankings and show worthiness of a shot at the top. Another eliminator involving Wlad and a non-belt holder other than Sanders is a total waste of time.
