Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
Kubrat Pulev is his IBF mandatory, but the IBF may permit Wlad to take an interim defense on December or in January, then fight Pulev in the spring. Wlad said about six weeks ago he's like to fight in Germany on Dec 14 to fulfil his contract with RTL, despite the short turn around.
Who should Wlad fight next? Ahmet Oner, the promoter of Odlanier Solis, has said he'd like a shot at Wlad for his fighter. There were rumors of Denis Boytsov, Byrant Jennings or Deontay Wilder, but they are probably less likely.
Here are some potential opponents:
Kubrat Pulev
Tyson Fury
Deontay Wilder
Bryant Jennings
Odlanier Solis
Denis Boytsov
Tomasz Adamek
Dereck Chisora
David Haye (rematch)
Alexander Povetkin (rematch)

To be honest buddy apart from Lyle,no one really gives a shit.;)
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
Maybe Valuev could make a comeback and challenge him on current form:confused:. Pretty much anyone who wont let Wlad mount them would be a start, only people I'd care to see him fight would be Arreola or Wilder basically.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
If he fights in December it'll be against a Francesco Pianeta-type fighter. So someone shit basically.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
He should retire. He doesn't want to get hit anymore. Retire and let the heavyweight become exciting again. Take it away Lyle.

Wlad retiring won't bring excitement. It'll bring even more mediocrity. The titles will get splintered and you gonna get 4 guys calling themselves champions. With 3 of them most likely losing on there first defense.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
More important than who Wlad will fight next is who will ref the fight. Pabon did a piss poor job on reffing the fight.... and boxing needs someone who will take charge and not allow these bullshit tactics from Wlad. If that happens and Wlad still wins.... great. But not like this.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
He should fight Chisroa because he's a lunatic who will realise it's a wrestling match after one round and start closelining him and throwing him out the ring and stuff.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
Maybe that's what Wlad needs. Enough of these straight-up boxers who willingly submit themselves to Wlad's headlocks and leaning on the head and back. Get someone in there who will respond with a punch to the nuts.... or will throw his head back into Wlad's face when Wlad's leaning on him, pushing him down. If the ref won't do anything about it.... take matters into your own hands.

Ain't he the one who ran his mouth non-stop? Threatening and acting tough. Starting fights with everybody. Even said he was gonna kill David Haye for real. Than couldn't even make it out the 5th against him. Come on now. He wouldn't make it out the 2nd against Wlad

Exactly. He'd be disqualified for choking, biting, stamping, nutting etc... it would be fantastic.
Re: Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?
I haven't seen this latest fight, but from what everyone is saying, he should retire. Whoever he fights it should be someone he hasn't fought before. Let's spread those Euros around.
