It's up to the WBA whether Wlad has to fight Povetkin next or not. Seems likely the WBA will force Povetkin on Wlad based on what was said last month.
I can guarantee you the April bout will be against a bum, somebody weve never heard of and Wlad will make it out that his next opponent is some tyson/ Ali fighter.Since the Haye fight Wlad has been fighting nothing but Bums.
Personally I hope the WBA forces Povetkin and Wlad to fight next. I don't want to see another Jean Mormeck or Mariusz Wach fight.
I cant see pulev getting beaten by adamek , adamek should think about quitting soon ,bulking up does not make him a proper heavyweight
Does Fury have downs? Is he even human? The next RJJ? What happens to Tyson Fury if he has to face the p4p heavyweight equal of Salvador Sanchez? Who would be better, the p4p equal HW Salvador Sanchez or Sugar Nikolai Valuev? So much questions, so few braincells.
If Pulev can't beat Adamek fair and square he will really get his ass kicked if he fights Wlad. Adamek has zero chance against Wlad.
wlad stated after the banks mitchell fight that fury is not ready, he wasn't impressed with him in the johnson fight. but who is a realistic choice? with who can wlad make money? 1. boytsov (unbeaten, known in germany and russia) 2. povetkin won't happen till summer 3. pulev will **** adameks ass first 4. odlanier solis (hadn't a fight in ages but could be a choice) 5. helenius (sauerland won't let him) 6. bryant jennings (i could imagine wlad making him an offer, but he is not ready) 7. abdusalamov (i could imagine wlad making him an offer, but he is not ready) 8. Price not ready 9. adamek (good money and extremly easy win, but he would get big criticsm) 10. Hanks (i could imagine wlad making him an offer, but he is not ready) to be honest he has no choice, there is noone who can be accepted besides fury, pulev, helenius and povetkin and i bet noone from them will get the fight
The problem is that Wlad will make serious money even if he fights a bum like Mormeck. If you were a boxer and made good money whether you fought top opposition or bums who would you fight?
I think if he get's the opportunity, he's got to take it because that opportunity might not come again, boxing is funny like that. Fury has been around a bit now, maybe he's 1-2 fights short of 'ready'. He'll still get KO'd though whether he's ready or not
