Huck needs to get into teh heavyweight mix, I dont think he deserves to be close to wladimir yet but he had a great fight with povetkin(i think povetkin won by one round) so if he can come up in weight and fight like that again against some competent fighters get him in v povetkin again and the winner can take on wladimir !

Wladimir Klitschko KO5 Kubrat Pulev
by Dan Rafael
Records: Klitschko (63-3, 54 KOs); Pulev (20-1, 11 KOs)
Rafael's remarks: "If there is anyone who still does not give Klitschko credit for what he has accomplished, or wants to keep harping on knockout losses he suffered literally more than a decade ago, or does not view him as one of the greatest heavyweight champions in boxing history -- and they are out there -- those people have issues. What Klitschko is in the midst of doing is historic and impressive and should command the utmost respect.
The 38-year-old surefire first-ballot International Boxing Hall of Famer destroyed yet another challenger, blowing away a bloody Pulev, a worthy mandatory, in stunningly one-sided and violent fashion.
Pulev talked a lot of smack leading into the fight, but it was Klitschko who brought the thunder to the ring, flooring Pulev twice in the first round with a pair of powerful left hooks, his most underrated weapon. In fact, Klitschko used the left hook to record all four of the knockdowns in the fight.
Klitschko -- who is from Ukraine but has mostly boxed in Germany, where he is a huge star -- also dropped Pulev, 33 and a 2008 Bulgarian Olympian now based in Germany, with a clean left hook in the third round. And then, in the fifth round, detonated another left hook on his chin and knocked him out as referee Tony Weeks finished the count at 2 minutes, 11 seconds.
Pulev was widely recognized as the kind of opponent who could give Klitschko a stern test, but other than rabbit-punching him (and getting warned by Weeks) and landing a solid right hand a split second before Klitschko knocked him out, he did nothing -- other than stick his tongue out at Klitschko after one of the knockdowns.
The victory added another notch to Klitschko's increasingly historic reign. He recorded title defense No. 17 in a row (of his second reign), won his 21st fight in a row and moved to 24-2 overall in world title fights. He has not lost since 2004, has not been in a remotely competitive fight since 2005 (his first bout with Samuel Peter), has unified three major titles, has claimed the lineal world championship and is inching closer to two of boxing's most storied records.
His 17 consecutive defenses are third all time in the heavyweight division behind Larry Holmes' 20 and Joe Louis' 25, the record for any weight class. Klitschko has also held the title for a little longer than 8½ years, second only to Louis' heavyweight record of 11 years, 8 months, 8 days.
Klitschko, the 1996 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist, has beaten all comers. Sure, the division is not very strong, but most heavyweight eras have been historically weak with the exceptions of the 1970s era led by Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman and the 1990s era led by Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, the second coming of Foreman and Riddick Bowe. Klitschko is not blessed with big-name rivals, but he has wiped everyone out. In fact, Pulev was the fourth undefeated opponent he has crushed in his past five fights."
