I'm not sure these fights ever happen. None will take place in 2015, in any case. Fury has a place in line, sure, but I'm betting he'll take a loss before the fight with Wlad happens. And if he doesn't, Wlad might vacate, but not until mid-2016, 2 years after Leapai. Wlad has beaten every significant challenger of his generation. And some from the generation before him. Now he's tapping the next generation as well. I'm not sure Wlad's obligated to fight these young guns and I'm not sure he ever will. He'd probably get more notoriety rematching Povetkin or Haye.
I told you clowns Wlad wouldn't vacate for Pulev, and I say he won't for your next doomed messiah Fury. Ban bet for anybody here that I haven't already owned. Put your forum rep on the line.
Joshua is playing safe at the moment and I reckon he won't take a fight with Wlad even if it's offered to him anytime soon, by the time he will accept it, Wlad will probably be retired. I don't think Fury will fight Wlad either unless there's immense pressure from sanctioning bodies and fans, he expects Wlad to retire and try to dominate the post-Wlad era. It should be the case with Wilder as well. He might go for Fury later this year but most likely not for Wlad.
If Wlad ever fights Briggs, he should retire right after. That's not boxing, that's only entertainment, a version of american wrestling. He could fight Hulk Hogan instead of Briggs, it will be the same thing.
I don't think Joshua will ever happen. He is still at the domestic level and his next opponent is TBA. Wlad will retire before Joshua is ready.
The division wants Wlad gone. He has become the pink elephant in the room. Wilder's team has already stated he is not ready and will not be fighting Wlad anytime soon. Fury's team is already talking up Wilder even though he is Wlad's mandatory and could conceivably be his next fight after Jennings. Joshua's team and Joseph Parker's team would be wise to not rush to Wlad until both have at least 25 contests under their belts which is another two yrs away. Wlad will fight Jennings if he wins, I believe he'll fight Briggs and the winner of Glazkov/Cunningham. After that he may retire or drop a belt or two to free himself up from mandatories.
Wlad has a 3 fight contract with HBO, the first fight was against Pulev. The next fight will be against Jennings. I guess the third fight will be against the Cunningham/Glazkov-winner, because that fight is on HBO (undercard von Kovalev-Pascal). If Cunningham or Glazkov wins in style, HBO would probably ask Klitschko to defend against his IBF mandatory challenger next. If the Klitschko-HBO-deal expires after those 3 fights (and would not be continued), Klitschko might fight against Briggs by the end of 2015 or in early 2016. HBO wouldn't show Klitschko vs Briggs as they know that this fight would be rubbish. The WBO is not the kind of a sanctioning body that forces their champions to do their mandatory defenses in time. Klitschkos mandatory defenses of the WBO have been Thompson I, Chambers and Leapei. The title unification against Haye was counted as "elite mandatory defense" or whatever name given by the WBO. So basically, Klitschko makes a WBO mandatory defense every two years ... if he likes to do so. He did not want to fight Helenius or Boytsov (because of the Sauerland-stable with a german tv-deal with the "ARD", while Klitschko fights on "RTL"), but as soon as Leapei was awarded the #1-ranking, Klitschko got him in the ring. The WBO probably won't ask Klitschko to fight Fury before 2016. So it might depend on Klitschkos tv-partners which opponent he might fight after Jennings. Would HBO rather see Klitschko fight against Fury or against Cunningham/Glazkov? Would RTL rather see Klitschko fight against Fury or against Briggs? Note: Fury isn't really well known in Germany. Every WBO mandatory challenger (Thompson-Krasniqi, Chambers-Dimitrenko, Haye-Valuev, Leapei-Boytsov) was shown in german television before he got his fight against Klitschko. Fury vs Chisora was shown on pay-tv station "Sky" in Germany ... but only some few boxing fans whatched that fight. Sure, Klitschko was interested in a Fury fight in 2011 (after the first victory of Fury over Chisora) ... he might still be interested in that fight. But he's also interested in cash from HBO and/or cash from RTL. Klitschko would most likely fight against Fury, if the brit would capture the WBC title from Wilder. At the moment, Klitschko vs Wilder is unlikely to happen. Klitschko is with HBO. Wilder is with ... ehm ... I dunno. Maybe Showtime? Maybe SpikeTV? Wilder is with Al-Haymon-TV or whatever, but not expected to fight on HBO. Nevertheless, Klitschko vs Wilder is more probable to happen if Klitschkos deal with HBO expires. I wouldn't expect a fight between Klitschko and Joshua. Joshua might whait until Klitschko retires. Joshua still has a long road in front of him, although he's ranked by WBA, IBF and WBO (making a voluntary defense possible). Joshua could also suffer the fate of David Price or Wladimir Klitschko by losing to an old veteran that was expected to lose. Some thought Price would get a title shot after he beats Thompson. Some thought Klitschko would get a fight with Lewis after he beats Sanders.
Vlad wants to fight Wilder for Vitali's WBC belt, that's the fight he wants most. Vlad will knock Wilder out, but Wilder will refuse to fight Vlad. I doubt if Wilder will fight Fury. Wilder refused to fight Thompson and Jennings, he refused all the ranked fighters. Vitali should come out of retirement and demand a fight with Wilder, he is the Emeritus and can demand it. Wilder said he wanted to fight Vlad, yet he is refusing to do so. Vlad will fight Jennings, probably the best American heavyweight..............Then Fury, as I think Wilder will duck Fury again.........by the way, Joshua would have no chance against Vlad, none at all...........
Why in the world is Joshua being talked about for this bout? Its ridiculous hes a 10 fight novice and working his way up. Of course this fight wont happen in 2015 any idiot is aware of that. I see the Fury fight happening in 2015 and maybe Wilder early 2016. Wlad wants to unify the division and vacating one belt is just stupid really and I really cant see Fury giving him an exemption so that he could fight Wilder first.
If Klitschko fight Briggs, then he will have 3 matches in 2015, so he will fight Fury or Wilder. Tho Wilder manager already say he isn`t rdy for Klitschko and was calling to let the boy develop and he need some defences before thinking of Klitschko.... Even before Pulev, Bonte say Klitschko big goal was to unify and fight the winner of Fury/Chisora. Thats what Bonte say. Even if Klitschko fight Briggs, which i think he should not do, he probably do it fast after the Jennings fight or after Fury fight. Thats mean he will probably have 3 matches at 2015, just what he want.
Fury is already backpeddeling and wants Wilder now. Wilder's manager said he isn't going up against Wlad anytime soon because he has to be compared with a "college prospect" and you don't trow in a college prospecs with the lions either. Unfair to trow him against a guy with 20+ world titlefights :roll: That leaves Joshua, who still has to make the jump to gatekeeper level.
And BTW too much is made from the Olympic Joshua won i mean was gifted. This was gift victory for Joshua, and he even lose not only 1 match, but 2, referee gift him big time. He lost against Savon, and as well the final against Cammarelle. I like Joshua, but the victory of Olympic, was more of a gift for him. So its toooo early to put him as eventual Wlad opponent. He need atleast 2-3 years to be ready.
And you know this because he said it , yeah? So why have you ignored all the times he says he wants Wlad? Fury is back-pedalling from Wilder after he said he wants Wlad. Exact same thing dummyatsch
