Wlad has mentioned fighting other challengers but either he's already beaten them, his brother has already beaten them, they are too green, or they are outright cowards.

Look for a challenger for him....Cris Arreola is coming back looking decent and I think he matches up well vs Wlad but hell he doesn't stand much of a chance. Seth Mitchell is too green. Chambers, Thompson, have already been beaten. Fury & Price are too young. Holyfield is too old, Toney is old and shot. Povetkin is a chicken and won't fight him. Valuev retired. Haye already got his ass kicked & retired. Chisora is suspended.


At this moment as a champion you try to root out a challenge like a recently retired fighter...Lennox Lewis WILL NOT come back....Riddick Bowe would but nobody wants to see that. Golota might but he's not "scary enough".....there is really nobody left for Wlad to fight....Wlad could fight til he's 40 and not have trouble holding on to his titles. If Vitali wasn't around Wlad would have a hell of a shot at beating or matching Joe Louis' record of successful defenses.
