    Out of all of the top heavyweights who is out there for Klitschko to fight next? Almost all of the other fighters either have a fight scheduled or he has beaten or they are not ready yet.

    He should fight Sam Peter or the Winner of Ruiz Valuev

    He could fight Povetkin as planned or even Haye in November. Haye hasn't signed anyone yet and apparently wants it. Maybe pay Povetkin some step-aside $ and arrange Wlad-Haye since Haye is so confident.

    He should fight Povetkin in order to keep his two titles, seeing as how it took so long to get the Ibragimov unification fight put together.

    Keeping the two titles is the first propority, then, I would say the next priority would be to fight for a third title, if possible.

    Haye has no title. I see no big reward for fighting him, just yet.

    I'd like to see him fight for further unification, over fighting Haye, ten to one.

    After Haye has built himself up a bit at heavy, then he would warrant some attention.

    He shoud fight the following in this order:

    Povetkin
    Peter (if he beats Vitali)
    Chagaev
    Haye
    Valuev

    If he beats all these guys he will have cleaned out the division.

    The winner of Ruiz Valuev simply because these two need to exit the sport quickly, Honestly Valuev shouldnt be allowed to box the mother ****er is just too damn big.

    I would like him to take on the winner of Gomez vs Virchis. Both Gomez and Virchis are worthy of Wlad's steel.

    Povetkin is probably Wlad's best rival out there,but his name recognition is fairly limited. Money is the name of this game. Povetkin vs Wlad could be a true superfight,but Povetkin needs more time to make noise and enhance his popularity in the most important markets in the USA and Germany.
    Wlad collected a paycheck of 12.500.000$ for his encounter with Thompson whereas the American got the highest purse of his entire career,750.000$.
    Wlad wont fight Povetkin for the laughable sum of 13 or 14.000.000$ and Povetkin,too,wants to earn big bucks in the pro game.
    There are already big dark clouds in the sky.Wlad's management has angrily commented on the demands on German channel ARD to broadcast Wlad vs Povetkin. ARD cooperates with Povetkin's promoter Sauerland whereas Wlad's partner is the German channel RTL.
    Wlad doesnt really need Povetkin in order to earn high purses.
    He could fight Sedrick Fields or Malik Scott and still be able to bathe in millions of $.
    There has been a statement that Wlad could opt to face a different fighter in his next fight. Haye has been mentioned. Obviously , Wlad and his management dont want to share too much of the cake with Povetkin.
    Wlad calls the shots! Bad luck for Povetkin!

    Nothing would make me LOL as much as seeing Wlad get a good starching at the hands of David Haye. He's long overdue a good roasting and Haye is the perfect fighter to do it.

    I voted Haye.
