    Let' see:

    IBF: champ W.Klitschko, tournament: Chambers, Brock, Byrd, Povetkin
    WBC: champ Maskaev, mandatory Peter, champ emeritus V. Klitschko, next mandatory McCall
    WBA: champ-in-recess Chagaev, tournament winner Valuev-Bergeron, Lyakhovich, Ruiz, Bidenko and maybe Williamson
    WBO: champ Ibragimov, voluntary Holyfield, mandatory Thompson

    That's a whoppin 19 involved fighters (20 if you count Vitali-warm-up McCline). This will most surely put any unification on hold in the foreseeable future.

    There are (not surprising) many undeserving fighters on this list, but IMO at least the top 8 are in the game.

    But who's missing in this picture? Which "better-than-Bidenko-boxer" deserves a shot?

    Let it go already, you're probably the only person who wouldn't complain if Klitschko announced he was going to defend his belt vs. Briggs.........................

    By the way, Danny Batchelder is demanding a rematch to completely whip Toney this time so there is no questions asked on the judges score cards.

    Juan Carlos Gomez if he keeps active should be fighting for a world title. The guys a former cruiserweight Champion and 48-1-0

    IMO he'd beat Ibragimov, Chagaev and Maskaev the ony guy who I think would trouble Gomez id Wlad becuase of his power and size, but wouldnt suprise me if gomez could outbox him!
