Personally i've never heard of that happening for a fighter aside from the time they did it for Vitali.

And why "shouldn't" he fight his mandatories? Who else is he gonna fight? There's only 2 fights in the heavyweight division actually worth talking about, you actually want him to do those first and then what happens to the heavyweight division? Nothing.

They are gonna draw out these "big fights" to give them a chance to build up other fighters to bring interest back into heavyweight boxing where its pretty much non existant.
When a guy who is always injured probably has less than 2 fights left in him, yes. He should fight the very best. He shouldn't have to hope that his body stays together for another 4 years to build a legacy.
Alright lets say he has 2 fights left in him who is he gonna fight?

The only fights at heavyweight causing any kind of stir.

Are potential fights with Haye and Arreola.


Wladimer seems to be getting Haye or Arreola. So where does that leave Vitali? What other heavyweights can he fight that means absolutely anything?

Matter of fact tell me who the absolute best in the heavyweight division is that he can fight
Valuev would be nice. Or whoever out of the two you named that Wlad doesn't fight.
