Who's next for Wladimir?

[The Shadow]

I think the fight v haye will really happen next... after haye beats harrison he has no excuses not to fight wlad and i think wlad wants this fight and there isn't really anyone else for either of them... I dont think the harrison fight has gone down well with any of hayes fans so he'll need a big one soon...

I guess adamek was fighting grant to get used to tall guys but i think vitali will take him on to beat up the polish heavyweights..

Haye has fans? I'm puzzled by that. The man has backed out of the most potentially profitable fights of his career. Although I'm not a big fan of either of the Klitschko brothers, I think they would both knock Haye into tomorrow within 5 rounds. Peter has a good beard, so it's no surprise that he lasted 10 rounds.

Lets be honest: Haye won a b.s. title from a protected, circus side-show; a freak-show with limited -- if any -- athletic ability, who 'defended' his title on a number of occasions only to get gift decisions. It was only time before he was exposed. Crap, even a WAY over-the-hill Holyfield beat him soundly and was robbed of a decision!

I think it's as likely to see Haye in the ring with either Klitschko brother as it is to see the entire Muslim population to convert to Judaism and become orthodox Jews -- it isn't going to happen.

However, although boring, you can say that you've witnessed the most impressive domination of a division by two brothers. Both the Klitschkos are just steps ahead of any potential opponent, and there doesn't seem to be ANYONE in the H.W. division that can do a damn thing about it.

I'd go as far to say that Haye would get KO'd by Peter, too. But he'd run from that fight, too.

Who's next for Wladimir? I guess anyone out there that has the balls to sign the contract and make it into the ring.

...... i don't even mention haye anymore. I'd give none of them a shot, but ademek and some others a better one than haye.

i would love to see Wladimir vs Povetkin more than ANY other fight in the heavyweight division

But If Atlas won't allow once again this BIG fight to happen than David Haye would be a REALLY GOOD FIGHT. But he refused to fight Wlad few times and NOW is fighting some tomato can, so even if that fight sometime happens, it won't be the NEXT one for Wladimir.

Povetkin and Haye are the only 2 Heavyweights that stand a chance to beat Klitschko, BUT if they and their teams countinue with the DUCK, IT IS NOT Wlad's fault that the best possible fights are NOT HAPPENING, he can move on and fight somebody from this list: Odlanier Solis, Nikolay Valuev or Tomasz Adamek

[Beanflicker]

James Toney. Couture shut him up in MMA, if Wlad shuts him up in boxing he'll have nothing to talk about.

[Beanflicker]

Its funny that a guy with 49 KOs in 55 fights is labelled as dull. I mean I definately understand it, its just funny.

Folks, thats boxing. Hit and not get hit. Look down the line at the greatest HWs of all time: Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, hell even prime Mike Tyson. They all had different builds, different styles, different attributes, but the main goal was always to hit without being hit. Defense is key. Especially at HW. One-and-Done is a scary reality at HW.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Ruiz
Valuev
Ruiz
Haye
Ruiz
Povetkin
Ruiz
Holyfield
Ruiz

In that order

[Dark Lord Al]

Id kinda like him to fight Valuev , would be fun.

[therealremi]

Adamek has another fight in early December.
Then Madison Square Garden proposed Klitschko-Adamek fight in March 2011 to commemorate Ali-Frazer. So Adamek is more likely to fight Vitali in March, unless of course Haye would want to fight Vitali (because he considers him the weaker one).

[piye]

Other than the Klits HAye is clearly the best in the division I think the way this work is

Wlad is here





Vit is here
And Haye is here



and everyone else is here

I'm starting to think that Haye can beat Vit as he is so quick and Vit is really slowing down has had easy defences he hasn't been in a hard fight for a while I really think that Haye will land to many hard shots on vit he's much quicker than anyone Vit has fought ssince coming back and hits harder.

But Wlad well it's different if Haye lands he knocks Wlad out but Wlad don't allow people to land he's getting better with every fight I don't think it will be anything like the Peter fight as Haye is a lot better than that but I do think it would be a very tense affair both scared to commit knowing the other has the power and speed to finish the fight and a long distance fight is Wlad's with that awsome jab pumping out till Haye tires late and gets stopped.

[Hornfinger]

I'm just getting over the shock that the klit won.... and by KO.... I mean really, who could have ever seen that happening. Peter was in such incredible awsome shape and it was such a 50/50 pick em fight.....

Wlad will have picked his next opponant before the out come of Haye and fraudley and for that matter I really couldn't give a shit who he fights next. Just another bum in another mis match that HBO won't go near. Big deal.

[The Fightfan]

What does it matter will we see it on television the next time he fights? I mean shit Wlad can not even get a time slot in America on a Saturday afternoon because of College (American) football. This is a f**king joke the Undisputedheavyweight champion of the world and we are reduced to watching shitty mpeg quality video. Where is ABC and NBC networks why are they completely out of the boxing game ? Oh that's right a Desperate Housewives rerun was on.

Sorry got a little off track there. As for who fight's Wlad next. I would go with three Valuev,Holyfield, Adamek. Haye is too scared same as Povetkin and a few others like Boytsov,Solis,Fury they are still a little green for that kind of challenge.

[Mark TKO]

Haye is the best opponent out there for the Klits but lets face it - he loses in similar fashion as Peter did.

Wlad is predictable but with his physical size and tactics who can get to him - nobody out there at mno thats for sure.

Said it before but god is he dull to watch - no risk taking, though with his chin I guess he can't. Lennox would have blown Peter out within two rounds

[El Kabong]

HF the FACT of the matter is that right now anyone vs Wlad is a forgone conclusion. Wlad is so good no one can challenge him and Chicken Little vs Audley is a farce because Chicken Little refuses to challenge himself and there are legit threats out there for him to face.

Wladimir not being challenged is a matter of competition, Chicken Little not being challenged is a matter of CHOICE.

No THE FACT of the matter is NONE of the heavyweight champs are fighting legit opposition. That is the FACT everything else is nut hugging bull shit.

....yes but Chicken Little CHOSE to fight Audley Harrison, Wlad was left with no other option as Alexander Povetkin AND YOUR BOY Chicken Little ran away from Wlad and after watching what he did to Sam Peter I don't blame them.

Wlad can't fight "legit opposition" because the "legit opposition" refuses to fight Wladimir...really I think Sam Peter stepping in and giving a solid effort is as legit of competition as there is.

I think more and more we'll see Wlad go for more earlier KO's, Manny will demand more from him and Wlad will deliver.
