More chance of Boswell, Ustinov, Sprott or Banks than Valuev.

I mean think of it, #1 Wlad's defense has improved dramatically and now without any negative effects on punch output #2 Wlad has already KO'd guys bigger than himself before (McCline, Austin, Thompson) #3 Valuev has NO power #4 The biggest power puncher Valuev fought was probably Evander Holyfield or John Ruiz #5 Wlad is set to let his hands go for this upcoming fight....I can sense it, he's been pissed off by David Haye and he wants to send a message. Wlad SAYS "I'll cut his face up for 12 rounds" but Wlad MEANS "I am going to stomp this sucker from round 1".

Wlad vs Valuev would be a straight up ass whuppin....everyone knows it, why aren't you on board GET ON DA' BUS!

Banks is a Kronk fighter and one of Wlad's sparring partners, there is less than a 0% chance of that fight happening.

I think Dimitrenko or Chambers would step up....Brian Minto has already said he'd fight Wlad.

I'd like to see Valuev KO'd but would that mean he goes away? Doubtful. So its kind of pointless.

Less than 0%? Fucks sake you could have least given me a "slim"

I was just reeling off the undercard guys. I hope its a "name".. I highly doubt any decent "name" will take the fight at such short notice though.

Well no he wouldn't go away but #1 Valuev would no longer have a belt and #2 He would have to fight Wlad or Vitali to get a belt back.

Pointless it would be GREAT!!!!

Alexander Dimitrenko 29(19 KO)-0-0 (Ranked #4 IBF and #1 WBO) and Eddie Chambers 34(18 KO)-1-0 (ranked #3 IBF and #5 WBO) are scheduled to fight in an elimination bout July 4th....I bet they try and land one of those guys.

Other than that Cedric Boswell and Brian Minto wouldn't be horrible

ffs Lyle get it together man

Minto has never been KO'd before...he would put pressure on Wlad, or at least TRY to win which you can't really say about other guys. Some fighters get "star struck" when they get a title shot, I for one don't think Minto would. I think he'd be horribly outclassed, but he would give it 100%.


....and it would put Wlad in position if he KO'd Minto early (which he would) to fight vs Haye, Povetkin, Dimitrenko/Chambers in another couple of months if HBO saves up it's money

Minto went through hell with that dude who's got a tattoo around his neck

plus I hear he's dropping down to 175 to fight Yusuf Mack in Trinidad

Vinnie Maddalone? The guy is a crowd pleaser....Minto might make Wlad FIGHT....isn't that what people complain about, guys like Sultan and Rahman who just didn't show up and allowed Wlad to do his thing and people didn't like it. Well imagine if someone pressured Wladimir and made him fight....it might allow us to see something new from Wladimir.

Meh, Povetkin can do that better than Minto.

Although I don't know what Povetkin's hurry is but still I'd much rather see that than Minto.

Yeah why not? Something to watch. Maybe they could braid Valuev's shoulder fur.

You fellas are cracking me up here. Atleast you brought some humour to the dissapointment. Top funny chaps.....

boozeboxer keeps on me about throwing Serguei Liakhovich out there, but hell the last time he fought it was February of last year and he weighed 251....sure he and Wlad used to spar a bunch and supposedly had some big battles but there is just no hope for him anymore.

Povetkin is tiny....I wouldn't mind him fighting Haye for an elimination match

Still bigger than Minto

Oh hell why am I even arguing this, Minto is not a good choice

Minto would get crushed

Valuev and Chagaev is unreal

other guys that come to mind are Meehan and Arreola altough i doubt hed take it

i heard also that Michael Grant is being considered by the Wlad camp
