Is Wach and acceptable opponent for Wladimir? Who would you prefer? - Page 4

molinari

One good fight wont pay him as much as 10. He is 35 and he can beat the ship out of everyone for next 5 years and get paid couple mills for each, why would he retire?

NEETzsche

every single one of the klitschko brothers' remaining fights should all be against manuel charr. i won't accept anything less.

At the moment, I'd rather have Pulev or Povetkin fighting Wlad next, maybe Adamek.

Wach, Fury, Botsov, Solis, Arreola, are next available contenders and all decent.

Adamek has got probably the least chance of anyone on that list of beating Wlad, it's almost 100% he would be KO'd

In order of interest

Solis
Boytsov
Fury
Pulev
Wach
Arreola
Adamek

Don't forget that today's Wlad and Sander's Wlad are quite different fighters.
Wlad lost the fight due to wrong tactics as well - he tried to box Sanders when he was badly stunned. I can't see today's Wlad making the same mistake.

He took well some big shots from Haye and I don't think Sanders was the harder puncher.

he was a harder puncher, he was also bigger and a LOT more resiliant, meaning he was able to simply walk straight through the jab and clobber Wlad.

Wlad has improved, but at the same rate the quality of his opposition has declined.

I would favour sanders against any Klitschko opponent since their fight.

I would also favour Sanders to KO Haye, and I say that as a biased brit, the man was a tremendous fighter, he just lacked the dedication

I agree Sanders was very awkward and tricky fighter. Not sure if he is the bigger puncher than Haye is but he was definitely more resilient.

Anyhow I don't believe that prime Sanders would have a lot of chance against today's Wlad.

Sanders was an incredible puncher, with more discipline and motivation he could have been really great.

I agree. That's a good assessment of Wlad's potential opponents.
