    The last two options make me sick as well but I felt necessary to include as they seem to have garnered the most attention outside of the top 3 options.

    Come on, don't lump Chagaev II (loathe though we may be to see it) with Briggs. They aren't comparable. One's just undesirable. The other is "consider giving up the sport" bad.

    Also, doesn't part of you feel really dirty about the fact that either Stiverne or Wilder is going to be holding the storied green belt? And that either of them is then going to get to be a part of a big important historical unification?

    After Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev unifys 175lbs he is going to take wladimir apart and prove his greatness.

    Makes me a little sick if Wilder wins he has no right fighting for a belt. Not hating on the guy but it's just very wrong

    I just wish Stiverne and Wilder would get on with it and make their fight. It's already a saga of David Haye like proportions.

    Then he should have used less detectable peds.

    The Chag II and Briggs options are so bad, and what's worse is that they are very possible.
    I don't want Wlad's next fight to be the WBC unification either because it would mean long time inactivity for him.

    The Chisora/Fury II option looks decent to me.

    Wow, when you put things into that perspective, it really stands out. Where do you honestly think Stiverne or Wilder would have been ranked even in the '90's? That fight "might" end up being entertaining if it ever comes off, but that's does nothing to invalidate your postulation.

    After the way Fury handled things when Ustinov stepped in for Chisora on short notice, I'm not so sure that he'll be quick to jump in the ring with W. Klitschko, should he win his upcoming rematch. But I hope that it's Wlad vs. Fury next, otherwise he should get Jennings out of the way. Both fights should be easy wins for him. Not sure if Chisora or Fury is going to win that rematch though.
