    Golota vs. Rahman in an eliminator (from the sport). I like Golata. Then Golata vs. Peter. Winner vs. Ray Austin.
    Mesi vs Holyfield. Safe fight for Mesi--I think

    Valuev vs. someone halfway decent in order to eliminate the Beast from boxing.

    Briggs vs. Toney to get rid of Toney-- I think. Or maybe Tua vs. Toney.

    Then, the Klits need to to fight the top ranked fighters one after another.

    And the fact I can post this madness indicates the state of thing today to wit: After the Klits and Haye, it's all over!

    All the champions are just fighting mandatories instead of fighting each other for how long now? I think champions fighting champions are what can POSSIBLY make this division interesting. But now Vlad and Vitali have most of the belts so that isn't going to happen.

    When Peter, Valuev, Maskaev, Chagaev, Wlad had belts at some point recently, they should've been fighting each other.

    Your spot on. Why a Wlad-Valuev fight hasn't been made yet I don't know. I've been waiting for a Klitschko to fight him for the last couple of years. I think it could sell very well if they did it right.

    It wont happen because valuevs camp knows the mans limits and that someone as tall as either klitschko with any remote talent is gonna box his head off and maybe even send him to the canvas.

    Valuev will never fight a klitschko, povetkin, haye etc because the german/european public still eats up seeing him in with either a has been or a guy who simply has no real boxing prowess to counter someone thats 7`3

    Ha, that's the main reason I wan't to see it

    Unfortunately your probably right about him never facing a top HW.

    As far as I'm concerned Valuev's card has already been pulled. Wlad said a couple years ago that he'd love to fight Valuev and knew it was a fight the public would want. Any real heavyweight worth his salt would have been frothing at the mouth after THE champ said he'd like to fight him.

    A David Haye fight.

    He is the saviour of this current lackluster division....

    HA, you are such a HOMER! It took David Haye 5 rounds to KO Monte Barrett a guy who Cliff Couser KO'd in 2 less than a year ago AND Nicolay Valuev KO'd in 11 a year ago AND a guy who Wladimir Klitschko KO'd in 7; 9 years ago AND he was the first to KO Monte too.

    David Haye is the new Frank Bruno....I know you Brits love some damn Frank Bruno, and I love how he was a dramatic fighter but David Haye isn't the savior of the division not by a long shot!

    As much as people may hate on Vitali and most especially Wladimir they forget that those two guys are extremely talented fighters....not JUST boxers but fighters.

    This is half the reason I dislike Haye. If he had actual accomplishments in the division before comments like these were made I would be drinking the kool-aid too. The HW division is filled with studs; the problem is match-ups. A lot of them may not be mature enough for the national stage, but that doesn't make them not good.

    Well to me we just need Vitali to beat up Valuev, Haye is obviously going to KO Wlad and then the 2 best heavys in the world (Vitali and Haye) can go at it!
