Wladimir: Who does he fight next?

[Pugilistic]

i fell he should fight povetkin next and it's a shame he doesn't plan of getting the wbc title. a peter rematch would be cool

[The Rookie Fan]

It will be Povetkin next. That was the hole point of the mini tournament in the first place and Povetkin won. Whether or not he has any chance of beating Wlad is another story....

But at least we have a Unifiead Heavyweight champion again.

On the other hand Thompson has won an eliminator as well, so he is the WBO mandatory.

I hope he fights Thompson. I do think Wlad will win handily, but Thompson deserves a shot at the title (and hopefully soon - he is quite old, if I remember correctly). I know Povetkin has earned his shot as well, but waiting 8-10 more months (including 2-3 tune ups) to fight Wlad will probably only improve his chances.

After Thompson and Povetkin it should be unification time again. If he can regain his belt, Valuev would be a great opponent. If not, then it means Chagaev will have earned his shot at the unified title, even if that fight would likely resemble the one on saturday. And then finally it should be against the WBC champ for all 4 belts. Hey, at least I can dream!

He'll probably fight Povetkin next but I'm with Mick on this one... he should face the Maskaev/ Peter to fill the vacant Ring championship!

I say screw the belts, let them strip him if their gonna (you know their gonna sooner or later anyway.)

Fight the Maskaev/ Peter winner, then possibly Chagaev if need be.

Thompson & Povetkin could face each other to further clean up the mess!

[El Gamo]

He's got 2 madatories if I remember correctly:Tony Thompson and Povetkin. He beats both although Povetkin will make him fight. I'd like to see a Valuev/Chagaev rematch and the winner fight him. Both have good chances of beating Wladimir imo.

[El Kabong]

Povetkin will make Wlad fight all of 4 rounds once you look at what Chambers did to Alex's face.


Valuev has no chance in hell to beat Wladimir


Chagaev I think is the #2 best heavyweight
