I think wlad should just do the mandatory defences untill he gets the chance at the wbc belt(which hopefully will happen soon) luckily the mandatorys include pulev and the winner of chisora and fury.. It's a good list of opponents though and in an ideal world it would be good to see this happen..
Completly agree. I hear Don King is promoting Stiverne too so imagine what would happen if he got his hands on the WBC belt. Luckily the mandatories coming up are decent and want to make an impression rather than get a payday which sure beats him facing guys like Pianeta and Wach.
