    1. Povetkin
    2. Valuev (or Chagaev)
    3. Haye


    Wlad should fight two of them.

    1. Valuev/Chagaev would be good... especially if Chagaev comes back to beat Valuev.

    2. While the joury is still out on Haye in a year it will be a good fight.


    Povetkin is just another nobody mandatory at this point.

    Povetkin is not much of a challenge. Haye is too small and will be ko'd by Wlads jab. Fighting Valuev is like fighting a slow moving boat. So it's non of the above. I think Wlad needs to fight someone who will fight him back. Someone who will give and take. Someone with the power to hurt him. I'm trying to think of who is closest to Lennox Lewis, and currently the only guy is Vitali and that's a no go. Whoever it is, it will be someone as tall and heavy as him.

    1. Rahman - Good name on resumé, already sheduled to fight

    2. Povetkin - Mandatory & undefeated

    3. Valuev - Try to KO the beast! Grab a belt at least

    4. Arreola - Undefeated, possible mandatory by then

    5. Haye - Would be a big seller in England

    6. Dimentrenko - Undefeated, possible mandatory by then

    7. Chagaev - May need this one for unification

    8. Solis - Especially if he's still undefeated

    9. Another American - Doesn't matter who.........

    10. Vitali - Could break all records, especially in Germany

    Knocking out the giant would be my 1st choice if I was his manager.

    You have already name all his important fights out there.

    My guess is that Povetkin will be the toughest nut to crack. Povetkin hasnt lost a single fight for ages. He doesnt even know what the term loss stands for anymore.
    He won the gold medal at the olympics as well as countless other medals and tropyhies at the amateurs.He was one of the most dominating heavies at the amateurs of all times.
    He has been unbelievably toughly matched at the pros,and has passed all tests quite successfully and convincingly.
    A pity that he will fight Wlad too early in his pro career.To stage a superfight you need two superstars. Povetkin is still not the most recognisable name out there.He needs more tv exposure and more fights before taking on Wlad.

    Valuev,Chagaev,and Haye are good fighters,but I doubt that they are ones who make career defining fights for a top dog like Wlad.
    Povetkin has the best potential of them all to give hell to Wlad.
