thats pretty cool, but where's Vitali K? to be honest I can see Wlad cleaning up that list pretty easy. Only Sam Peter poses anything like a credible threat. The sooner Vlad unifies the better.

Sam Peters beats Oleg Maskeav 9 times out of 10. Shannon Briggs is going to lose his title VERY soon. I don't hold a great of faith in Lamon Brewster either, he's like Briggs in that he has a big punch but he only throws one punch at a time. I think Klitschko beats him if they make the fight.

Chagaev is good fighter, I'm waiting with anticipation to see if he can build on the valuev victory, which is one of the best results of the year in any division. I know Valuev wasn't exactly Ray robinson but to beat someone with a 1 foot 90lbs weight advantage is a real achievement. I always said Valuev would be very hard to beat.

I think we'll eventually have to see some sort of unification sorted out, boxing's suffering for the lack of a good heavyweight champion. The lineage has just dried up post-lewis, someone ought to grab this piss weak division by the neck and dominate. It ought've been the Klitschko brothers, coz they're a class apart from the rest at the moment, but they've fucked it up by "retiring" and getting beat. Wlad still has time to redeem himself, and looks to be approaching his prime, but Vitali needs to get serious about wether he wants to come back. For all we know the layoff has knackered him, physically and mentally.
