vs. Povetkin--Oh God NO!!! Please don't put us through that punishment of a matchup. Imagine yesterday's fight mixed with the 'not so fast' Eddie Chambers fight of last month. OK... you can wake up now.
vs. Dimitrenko--he is WBO #2, and the WBO already promised the next title fight to Thompson. At 36, I don't think he is going to take 'pass by' money. We know in boxing, anything is possible, though.
Virchis v. Gomez is a done deal, and I don't believe either of them can take a tune up;
vs. Valuev--He is already the WBA mandatory, and I am sure that Steward won't let WK take that big of a chance without a belt.
vs. Tony Thompson--the best matchup to be made, as far as 'ranking,' earning his shot, size comparison & potential for the fight. His WBO mandatory agreement also precedes the Povetkin win to become IBF mand.
