    Who should he fight and what would the result be?

    there are only three possible choices imo:

    Povetkin-IBF mandatory. Legit top 5 hw imo. 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist. Very skilled inside puncher and tough as nails. I'd take Wlad to stop Povetkin around 9.

    Valuev-WBA titlist. Legit top 5 hw. Assuming he will outpoint Holyfield :-(. I still don't know if his chin is that great. Obviously he has great size, average boxer, good jab, lacks power and quite slow. I think Wlad stops him on accumulation by round 10/11.

    Haye-This fight has basically been artificially built up through Haye and Sentanta's hype machine. Haye has excellent handspeed, good hw power. I think Wlad maintains distance and tattoos Haye with jabs for about 6 rounds forcing a corner stoppage.

    Personally. My first choice would be Valuev for unification purposes and see how Wlad does against a man far larger. However, all 3 are fine by me at this point. I think Povetkin is the best fighter of the 3 but the least lucrative. I think both Haye and Povetkin need another fight against a stiff challenge before a Wlad fight, especially Haye who I'd like to see in there with a good boxer.

    But whoever it is, all 3 will be very interesting buildups.

    UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD WHO NEX?

    I'd say it'll be Povetkin then Haye. I think Vitali will take on Gomez and then Valuev.

    The faster he fights Valuev the better.

    I voted Provetkin tho.

    Povetkin is his manditory, and Hays just said he wants Vitili, not mister Jab.
    Lewis is getting into shape, he wants $100,000,000 for the Rematch.

    I think the Haye fight is next for Wladimir.

    Then the Povetkin fight.

    Hopefully after Vitali beats up on Gomez he will fight Valuev and beat the balls off him.

    Vitali retires because he and Wlad got all the belts and there is no one for Vitali to fight.

    Wlad goes after the remaining belts and keeps notching wins and retires with 20+ title defences.

    sounds like Haye can't decide which Klitschko he wants to get knocked out by

    Povetkin because he is the mandatory and is really the only credible opponent for prime Wlad. Valuev will be K.O'ed early by the master boxer-puncher Wlad and will look like a carnival freak show. Haye is a cruiserweight with a suspect chin who may well be K.O'ed by the first power left-jab Wlad throws.

    Povetkin.

    He has earned his chance as opposed to Haye who has talked his way into a fight.

    Wlad got to go after Valuev and if this fight can't be made then go for Haye. Leave Povetkin for later.

    Got to put up a 10million offer to get Valuev to agree to this fight
