Wladimir's manager Shelly Finkel said "Our first thing is to see when [the Haye fight] can be rescheduled, but we will look at Valuev and all other options." (courtesy espn.com)
I really want the Wladimir-Valuev fight to happen...the sooner we're rid of Valuev the better.
I would make sense to offer it to Povetkin because he owes him a mandatory at some point. He and Cris fought around the same time in April. My money is on Povetkin as a guy that could be legitimately ready by June. Arreola would probably take the fight, but it would be a mistake for him at this point. Chambers is scheduled to fight Dimitrenko in an WBO eliminator. Since Dimintrenko is the #1, I would think the WBA would make Wlad offer him the fight over Chambers. Povetkin has more to deserve it than the others.Quote:

What needs to happen now, is someone needs to give Ruiz food poisoning or something so he can't get in the running.Quote:

Over on Fightnews Wladimir targets Arreola
Wlad said “If the fight against David Haye doesn’t take place, I’ll fight against Chris Arreola,”
Klitschko targets Arreola! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
This is getting interesting now,Wlad against Holyfield :o;D
boxingnumb.yehrite.wtf.com
Mintos a nice guy...but :foruml10gc5:.What about Chambers,or the Uber Wookie Valuev would be nice
I wouldnt mind seeing it. Its a fight that should have happened anyways. Thats what champions are supposed to do, fight each other. I mean Valuev fought 4 time champion Holyfield, what has Wlad done?? ;D Seriously, heavyweight champions are a joke. For every fight that goes ahead on schedule, there is one that falls thought.
I just read 2 articles about 2 different fighters wanting to step in vs Wladimir.
To think we're this much closer to the ultimate matchup Wladimir Klitschko vs James Toney ;D
Chris Arreloa’s promoter Dan Goossen has rejected any possibility of Arreola stepping in for injured David Haye. “Chris isn’t in the type of shape you need to be for fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world,” he told the LA Times. “One thing you don’t do with elite athletes is give them a short window to prepare.”
By Alexey Potapov
If we're waiting for Arreola to get in shape, I hope you're willing to wait for next year. "Cris, step away from the burritos!"
I'm just happy Wlad is still trying to make a fight happen. I really hope it's vs Valuev....it really would help boxing, but I think Don King will keep it from happening.
I would love to see Wlad take Valuev out.
Who is the "elite athlete" he's talking about? Can't be ArreolaQuote:

Seriously, starving makes it hard to work out and lowers your energy level. You really just have to time WHEN you eat more that HOW much if you're not worrying about making weight.
