Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?

[Freedom]

Chisora.

GRUDGE MATCH!

Least it'll be mildly exciting...

I agree.

I'd much sooner see Wladimir face Chisora next than Boytsov or Pulev.

[palmerq]

I would not :S what a waste of a fight,,, chisora lost to an injured vitali quite clearly... he made it interesting.... then he got cleaned out by haye.. he had a nice result v malik scott :S but this fellow is not close to be deserving of another title shot... Haye for example is far closer....

I would like to see wladimir take on stiverne next.. seeing as vitali is busying doing whatever he can to not fight stiverne wladimir might as well give him what he deserves... maybe have another stay busy fight v anyone, solis maybe, whilst haye, fury, wilder and arreola all fight between themselves so a clear deserving challenger can emerge... Chisora would be a totally undserving candidate... give a guy a title fight because his antics are mildly amusing :S ....... he already got crushed by the guy that wladimir shut out fairly recently...

aha pulev is mandatory.. I say take on stiverne then pulev then in my fantasy world the other contedors will have fought each other and wlad takes on the best of those guys.

[Freedom]

1. Alexander Povetkin (already beaten)
2. David Haye (already beaten)
3. Kubrat Pulev
4. Tomasz Adamek (scheduled to fight Glazkov in Nov)
5. Bermane Stiverne (WBC mandatory)
6. Tyson Fury (scheduled to fight Haye in Feb)
7. Robert Helenius (injured)
8. Chris Arreola
9. Odlanier Solis
10. Tony Thompson (already beaten twice)

So from the top ten Pulev, Arreola and Solis would be available.

The holding was excessive, nobody can deny it.

But less than I've seen in some of Hopkins and Ward's fights. Ward held Green for nearly the whole fight.

And Ward used deliberate head butts, hitting off the break, as well as holding in his fight with Kessler.

i cant watch the videos im at work but im in total agreement, ward should also be stopped from doing it, it is against the rules and he doesnt deserve the praise he gets because of his tactics

i think he beat kessler with the head

same with devon alexander, i dont believe he'd have beaten maidana if he was made to fight

one difference with klit and the others tho is that the leaning does damage, saps a lot of energy, so not only is it a defence its a weapon

i truely believe wlad would have lost his titles long ago if he had have been made to fight within the rules, or at the very least had some very close calls and spent a bit more time on the canvas

Never did I ever read that from you when Lennox Lewis was champion and never have I ever read that from you ABOUT Lennox Lewis nor about Ricky Hatton. Had I then I wouldn't call you out for such blatant nationalistic bias.



Wlad should fight Fury next and steal Haye's opponent. #1 Wlad should fight taller opponents because those are the better fights, and #2 Fury is an idiot and I wish to see him KO'd several times over. Pulev would be an alright fight I guess if Fury decides to fight Haye.

See @El Kabong, I wouldn't criticize him for fighting Pulev, but I don't think he has any huge attribute in his favour over Wlad and I'd see it as being a repeat of the Chagaev fight. I agree that to make it interesting Wlad needs to fight tall opponents or the other option is a big puncher. This is why right now I favour an Arreola fight. Because Cris is a wild swinger and has a cracking chin, he could certainly make it interesting for at least the first half of the fight. Deontay Wilder is another good fight because of his size and punch power but I'd say he's at least 2 decent fights away from being ready. Stiverne is likely to fight Vitali but if he wasn't, he'd be a viable option and a Chisora fight would be entertaining too.

the league of rule breaking during fights in boxing (least to most)

ricky hatton, lennox lewis




Big Gap





Hopkins




Big Gap





Ward




fucking biggest gap by miles




wlad



in fact if you all all of hattons and lewis rule breaking infringements in their last 10 fights put together it would probably add up the the rule breaking wlad did in any given round on saturday night
