And where does Arreola come into this?I thought is fight vs.Walker was recognised as IBF eliminator or am I mistaken?
I don't think I can recall there ever any back to back mandatory defenses but anything's possible with these corrupt organizations. I would imagine if Arreola already fought an eliminator for the IBF that they would grant the winner vs. Povetkin a voluntary before they had to meet Chris.
After Povetkin gets his title shot, Arreola will be next in line. However, the IBF will most likely give the Champ 12 months before that mandatory would be enforced. At least, they should. Wlad was hoping to fight Haye, Povetkin, and Arreola all in a row anyways. Although I am sure that the WBO will want a mandatory in there as well.... which is Dimitrenko.
I think Klitschko will KO Haye in the 7th round. I just think that a coule of hard Klitschko jabs will rock Haye unfortunately and then put him down with that right hand.
That sounds about right. I'd think Wlad would get to fight a voluntary between Povetkin & Arreola if he wanted to though. Maybe: Haye (England) Only 1 loss on Record Povetkin (Germany) Undefeated Dimentrenko (Russia or Ukraine) Undefeated Arreola (California, USA) Undefeated That would be a great list especially if he could fit it all into a year/year & a half. What could the haters say then? :hey

IBF gives 11 months between mandatories & Wlad has "super champion" status with the WBO thats 24 months
Isn't it 18 months for the Super Champ with two main belts?:think I think that they have to hold 3 of the 4 recognized titles for them to get 24 months in between. I know that they give 90 day extensions most of the time though.
Surely that is to avoid a potential pile-up of mandatory defences right?Nate Campbell had to drop the WBA strap for this reason Why has Wlad not got longer in between IBF mandatories then?:huhSlightly confused
