    K2 has been hedging their bets lately by having an option A & option B if the first option should fall through. Arreola is probably option A & Wach is the backup plan. There's nothing wrong with that and to me it's the sign of a fighter who wants to fight. What's there to complain about?

    We all want things......................:deal :yep

    I'd like to see Vitali KO Adamek and then retire so Wlad can clean up but unfortunately Big Brother didn't ask me my opinion. :roll:

    I dont want to see Helenius yet. He needs to develop. Wlad is doing the right thing by letting him fight

    It should be Povetkin. He's the only one who's remotely earned it, though I'd be okay with Hellenius too.

    Both fighting in a few weeks, that's them ruled out.

    I agree, the depth is abysmal right now, bit that doesn't excuse Wlad fighting such a poor opponent. There is no excuse for it.

    Like I said, I'm not criticising Wlad at this stage because it may not happen and I hope it is just a rumour that it's being discussed.

    No it's not. Wlad should wait a few weeks to fight a decent opponent rather than rush through a deal against a bum. If wlad signs a fight before either is available, they can't wait for Wlad, so the fight will take ages to make.

    I don't know, Wlad has said repeatedly that now that he is in his prime he wants to fight as many fights as he can. He did try and make 2 fights within 2 months not long ago.
