He could fight Jennings Followed by Fury Followed by Wilder in a unification. I think that would make him the only guy to have all four belts at heavyweight?? I think if he does this he deserves real credit. Especially when he'd have fought 7 unbeaten fighters in 8 fights. How would you guys rate him if he did this over the next year?
Jennings in April Wilder mid year Fury November or some kind of Wilder/Fury winner late in the year after Jennings, assuming that Fury gets past Hammer.
Fury and especially Wilder will never fight him, the WBC and Don King i doubt will want a unification as it's obvious who will win the fight. If he could somehow fight Fury that would be a decent win, but i fear he will never get the chance to unify until he's atleast 40.
I don't think he will make 2 fights after April. Only one fight possibly on November. That could be Fury. He might retire before he fights with Wilder, who's his former sparring partner and a friend.
He was but he never held all four belts, whether that is important or not is a different matter as the WBO didn't mean as much back then. What really matters is that Wlad is the clear champ as was Lewis.
If he does beat Jennings, Fury and Wilder before retiring it would cap off a great career. The only other notable heavyweights left are helenius, takam and Chisora... Two of those are re coming off stoppage losses and the other hasn't had a meaningful win for years.
Wlad could retire tomorrow, or even last year, and all but serious haters would have to admit he's had a pretty good run. Sure his competition has been weak; but all he can do is fight who is available, and he has done that and kept coming out as the winner.
Taking out Jennings, Fury, and Wilder means he's cleaned out another generation of contenders. Let's keep this reign in perspective....when Wlad beat Byrd to start it, Pulev, Fury, Jennings, and Wilder weren't even professional fighters. In fact, Wlad had already unified with Ibragimov before any of those four turned pro.
