    Tua.

    I think beating Lamon helped to exorcize the demons of his past fights- fighting Sanders right now really would be pointless.

    If he can take Tua out of there, then people start comparing his perfomance agaisnt Lewis' and he gains more credibility.

    whomever it is, it should be a big puncher. We know that he can shallack boxers at will.

    Are you kidding? Again??????? :-(

    Folks... pa-leeeeeeeeeeeeze. Everyone knows that THE HW fight EVERYONE wants to see is: Wlad v.s. Peter II. The question is... will Wlad have the stones to fight him again? :deal

    Period, end of story.

    I think everyone agrees, but due to WBC by laws, that fight cannot happen for some time.

    Any fight that Peter is going to take has to be approved by the WBC since he is the "interim" champion. Until Maskaev retires or Peter beats him in the ring he is not a free man. And even then, they will probably make him fight Mcall or VitKlit.

    But your right, it is unfinihsed business between two champions and arguably teh two best in the divivsion.

    Golota got to get past Iron McBride yet, and remember McBride retired Tyson whom Golota froze half to death in the face of it! :yep

    I think Tony Thompson has earned a shot. Or Chagaev for redemption for his missed unification bout.

    That fight will never happen... at least in the near future. Team Peter will never alow it

    Tua or Tony Thompson. Tua still has name recognition and is on the
    comeback. Thompson is an up and coming American fighter who is
    doing well of late. Those two guys might generate some fan interest
    but Wlad destroys either one. Peter is Wlad's only real threat at the
    moment. Politics won't allow that fight for along time, unfortunately.

    Thompsom deserves a shot
    Liakhovich would at least give him a decent challenge if the ****er ever gets off his ass and fights

    Chagaev should be available in January. He's undefeated and has a belt. I wanna see unification fights.

    I swear that list is pathetic. And some of you constantly say this is a very good era of heavyweights. And that is said to make Wlad look like one of th ATG's because he is probably the best of the bunch. Well that bunch is bad.
    Just look at each fighter and tell me any one of them is a great fighter. If you are honest you can't. Sure some are bigger than most of the fighters from eras past but bigger is not always better. Those guys are class C and C+ at the very best! Some not even that.

    I agree but I wouldn't mind seeing Wladimir beat up Valuev.

    Toney shouldn't even be on the list, what has he done to deserve? Same with Rahman.................and Liakhovich should fight somebody else first to prove he's worthy.
