It's a shame that there isn't more out there for him, between the two of them the Klits have nailed it. Shame they will never bust each other up, but I guess you could never ask them to. I say just beat whoever is ranked and have 3 more fights.

I think if Adamek were to pull out a miracle and beat Vitali then that would be the next logical step. Also the winner of Fury vs Chisora could happen. It is defiantly slim pickings in the heavies right now. I don't think we will see Wlad for the rest of this year.
Povetkin would be the most logical choice, but who knows what is going on in the mind of Teddy Atlas.
Nobody mentioned Valuev here. I'd like to see that purely cos its a challenge that Wlad hasnt yet faced, fighting a bigger man. I mean im sure Wlad would win (but im sure he'd beat anyone previously mentioned in the thread tbh) but at least its something different. Dude might have retired though, not sure, hasnt fought since the Haye fight.

Povetkin is long overdue to fight Wlad and he talked a ton of shit just like Haye did....but that stalled when his career stalled. I'm not certain of what he brings to the table anymore, he hasn't fought top contenders for a while, he's moving too slow, and I don't see the fire in him there once was. I'd LOVE for Povetkin to take out a guy like Stiverne before getting his shot vs Wlad.
Helenius and Dimitrenko seem ready to me, they've both been active, both fighting decent competition and they are big guys and good boxers. I'm a little worried about what Helenius brings to the table, but Wlad would still be a heavy favorite over both.
Arreola is on the road back...I'm interested in that fight, it's bound to be more exciting simply due to the fact that all Arreola knows how to do is brawl, he won't run and hide.
2 more to consider: Ruslan Chagaev 2 (not my favorite choice) or Nicolay Valuev....I would thoroughly enjoy Wladimir ridding the heavyweight division of the 2 biggest frauds (one litterally the biggest the other figuratively) it's ever seen. I think a Wlad-Valuev fight would be pretty decent and he'd get some credit if he KO'd Nico too.
Wlad says he loves boxing (strange, because he doesn't act like it in the ring) and wants to be around for awhile longer so he may have another 1/2 dozen fights left in him.
Povetkin is probably as good as he's ever going to be, in fact having Teddy Atlas as your trainer can only make you worse, so Povetkin may as well just get his ass-whippin' over with.
Helenuis would be an intriguing fight for Wlad, he looked pretty good stopping Sam Peter, and he's a big HW. I believe it would be a fun fight to watch.![]()
If I'm Wlad I go for:
Povetkin and when he passes, I fight Arreola.
Dimitrenko should be as ready as he ever will be by the following fight
Helenius should be ready as he ever will be by late next year
Boystov should be ready as he ever will be by late next year
Wlad's team should have him fight every 3 months from now till the end of 2012 and have him retire. Spank all of these guys and then walk away.

Well, Povotkin would be the next logical stop but I feel that what will determines his next move might well be the issue of Vitali-Adamek: The brothers plan was that they should hold all the belts together and then, Wladimir should be the next Unified hW. Would Vitali lose against Adamek, it would be Adamek-Wlad and would Vitali wins... I guess that then Vitali will retire (as he told once) and that Wlad would make the necessary fights to put his hold on the missing belt. I guess it would play something along those lines.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Whoa thats an impressive stat and contradicts the theory that he is only fighting bums. I know these guys werent great fighters but they were the best on offfer and Wvlad not only beats them but dominates them. I hope he gets his dues because he deserves it.Wlad has now defeated ten Ring Magazine ranked contenders in his last eleven fights.
Adamek is the last of the realistic challengers left. The others are pretty predictable in that they wont get past either brothers jab. Congrats to the Klitschkos for achieveing their goal. I'd pick them over Phil and Grant Mitchel too.
