Wlad to fight again in Novermber or December

[rjj tszyu]

Some potential targets

Odlanier Solis: last fight May 29th, no future fights scheduled, should be ready to go by Nov/Dec. He doesn't deserve another title shot, but he is available and one would think would jump at the opportunity.

Robert Helenius: Last fought vs Dereck Chisora and was gifted a decision, yet he had arm issues and might be ready by Nov/Dec but will likely be too rusty to attempt a title shot.

Alexander Povetkin: last fought in February, no future fights scheduled, but Hasim Rahman will still want his shot vs Povetkin and given the choice between the two we must figure Alex chooses Rahman.

Tomaz Adamek: Scheduled to fight in September, it's unlikely he'll fight Wlad in Nov or Dec.

Kubrat Pulev: A slightly green pro with only 16 fights, but he's undefeated and having fought and KO'd Dimitrenko he could be best suited to fight Wladimir.

Seth Mitchell: Scheduled to fight Jonathan Banks in September, doubtful he's ready for Wlad this year.

Cris Arreola: Boxrec doesn't have him scheduled to fight Bermane Stiverne anymore (damn, I would LOVE to see that fight), but he should be ready in Nov/Dec and would be a durable and dangerous test for Wladimir.

Bermane Stiverne: Not a good "boxer" but one hell of a slugger, and if anyone that has the power to hurt Wlad it's this guy. Last fought in April, had been bandied about as an opponent for Arreola, but that may have fallen through.

There are certainly others up for consideration, but I would venture to guess that these fellas are the main ones worth looking at.

Of this list I think Solis "MIGHT" have a chance with Vitali, not Wlad though. Solis has a chance of outboxing Vitali for me but Wlad is so much better at the fundamentals than his brother that he would easily outbox and stop Solis. Other than that I don't give anyone on that list much chance. I hope in 6-12 months Price and Wilder come on and give us someone to talk about. Haye did it, I'm not saying everyone gave him a chance but the fact that some did made for a great build up!

We have to face facts now Wlad is the best HW out there and no one else is even close. This is like when Lennox was ruling. After Evander got too old no one was really good enough to share a ring with him. Maybe Wlad could have a Rahman moment and not take a fight 100% seriously and get caught? I doubt it though, he seems to be very professional.

I think Arreola will get this fight in the back end of the year but the result will be the same... Klitschko KO

As for Fury there is not a chance he'd accept a fight with Wlad, he was shit scared of Price and he's still very much on the learning curve so fighting Wlad who is already an ATG and sure fire HOFer is a serious no go. If someone told Fury he had to fight Wlad, his chemical toilet would explode with all the shitting he would be doing!
