    As long as the fight does not get pushed backed once the papers have been signed whoever it is

    Apparently Marco Huck is a potential option. Pretty bad match-up. But Wlad's next fight is in Germany, not the USA.

    The winner of the fury/chisora fight second choice would be the winner of the wilder fight , but the list really shows how week the heavyweight division still is

    If Fury and Wilder win I'd like to see them two just as much as Wlad

    They can sell this in Germany. But yes, at HW Huck is a joke. Awful matchup. Not sure if this is worse than Briggs, a toss up between a rock and a hard place.

    Hopefully the winners of Stiverne/Wilder or Fury/Chisora II. Sadly however, neither winners of those fights will face Wladimir for obvious reasons(watch the Pulev fight if you missed it).

    Sadly, it seems like Wladimir has a better chance to get the winner of Fury/Chisora II or Jennings in the ring before Stiverne and Wilder even fight. :-(

    That's the only reason I didn't choose the unification option first. So far, Stiverne/Wilder appears to be stuck in the mud.

    The only wlad fight that would really interest me is povetkin 2 though it seems little likely for the very near future.

    The next most interesting task would be to unify with the wbc holder whoever this may be for the sake of unifying all major belts.

    I see Jenning in a voluntary defense next..

    If Fury gets the win against Chisora, Wlad should call him out, with both then having no fight signed, we will see how much Fury really want Wlad.. I see him running away from Wlad until he retires..

    Winner of Stiverne/Wilder is to far away, they havent a fight date yet..

    Hopefully it's Jennings. Could have been Wilder/Stiverne winner, but those two won't ever fight it seems.....

    I believe it will be Jennings.

    Considering the HBO deal, Boente interviews, mentioned dates and venues for the next fight, the strong Wlad's desire to add the WBC belt, the drag between Wilder and Stiverne negotiations and KMG way of playing it safe on doing business, you have to conclude Jennings as the frontrunner.

    My best case scenario, as a fan, for 2015 would be:
    - Wlad vs Wilder in march for the WBC mandatory position.
    - Jennings takes over as mandatory for Stiverne and their fight happens till may.
    - Wlad vs Fury megabout in July either in Wembley, Veltins or Allianz Arena.
    - Wlad vs the WBC belt holder in November.
    - Briggs vs Chagaev for the WBA fake belt and the fans get rid of one ****ty contender. The winner fights Ortiz, Joshua or at least Browne as an eliminator to get Wlad.

    Yeah a bit better than Briggs. Both would end in highlight reel KOs.

    I'd prefer the Fury/Chisora winner next but given Wlad's patterns I expect an easy defense next (Huck, Spilka, Jennings...somebody undersized and outgunned) followed by the Chisora/Fury winner in late summer or early fall. This should allow the new WBC titleholder some time to take a few defences which means Povetkin might snag the belt by the time Wlad gets the unification.

    Briggs wouldn't be a sellable fight here, I believe, his most recent pathetic attempts at gaining attention during the klitschko - Pulev weigh-in/and fight were rather pitied than welcomed. The Tv reporter went as far as saying briggs behaviour was irritating and the guy was nothing short of a clown. Klitschko has a reputation to defend, he won't fight briggs or at least not here, all of this: imo.

    I like this scenario in which povetkin gets hold of the remaining belt and fights Klitschko for the undisputed title, I hope it comes true.
