    Default If Vitali retires what will happen to the WBC belt?

    This is what I can't figure out, how long does it usually take for a belt to become vacant after someone retires? And who will fight for it? I think that Haye will want it badly and Tyson Fury, Adamek, Pulev, Pricey, Solis, Helenius (if he's fit) could all be in the mix.

    It seems that Wlad won't get it either because that moron head of the WBC no longer wants unification fights. A move that infuriates me, but it stops Wlad getting it and fighting a list of bums for until he retires leaving everyone else without a title.

    Chris Arreola will fight somebody for the vacant title, possibly Stiverne or Wach.

    It won't be David Haye. He isn't ranked, and the WBC president wasn't happy about Haye fighting Chisora.

    Wlad will probs fight another no hoper for it, or hopefully Wlad to fight the winner of a Super Six consisting of Haye, Adamek, David Price, Povetkin, Arreola, and Helenius. That would be grand !!

    If that tournament could be made that would be brilliant for boxing and in particular the HW's. It would be better with 2 more names in it so we could start with the quarter final and have the eventual finalists fighting 3 times in 1 year for their shot. It will never happen but I like the idea.

    The WBC will look round for the biggest ticket seller/TV money maker and basically give him the title so they can get the biggest possible sanctioning fees from the belt. Like they do with every other fucking belt.

    Haye then?
    I don't think he wants to fight anymore. He needs big names to fight to make big money. He only had one of the Russian brothers left to fight and he would have been on the seriously short end of the purse until the Munich presser when he hit the jackpot. Sky aren't doing PPV anymore and Warren doesn't have any more sellable heavies. Haye is only going to fight again for big money.

    I don't know who is the best option for the WBC going forward. Adamek maybe. We'll find out soon enough.

    It's all about the money! Can you blame these people for wanting as big a piece of the pie as possible? What would you do? All I know for sure is that money talks and most everyone listens. Stop bitching long enough to figure out how to fix it.

    I would like to see either Haye, Arreola, Helanius, Povetkin or Fury fight the Klitchcos next. Cant think of anyone else who would cause them any problems. Maybe Chisora again if he can come back stronger from this loss. Imo the reason why Chisora had good success with Vitali is because he took the fight to him and fights great from the inside. More heavyweights need to work on there inside game as the Klits hate close fighters.
    Please no more Tony Thompsons or Briggses. I hate to see a clueless punching bag walking round the ring, waiting to get punched in the face.
    Any other suggestions in the heavyweigth devision.
