Interesting news in the heavyweight division...

Unless the madatory for the wbo belt (asuming he wins it) kicks up a stink and wants to fight him as well, i think unfrotunatley he will be stripped of one of his belts for not fighting one of the mandatories, its b.s but heaven forbid we have one true champion No, he has a set amount of time to do that... he won't get stripped for fighting his madatory of the IBF instead of the WBO.

He'll fight the winner of Povetkin vs Chambers then maybe the winner of Peter vs Maskaev if Vitali doesn't come back.

Povetkin/Chambers is the finals of the IBF eliminator tournament. It started with 4 people... Povetkin vs. Byrd Chambers vs. Brock Winners fight each other tonight. Winner of that gets Klitschko next, because they will be the IBF mandatory. oh yeah i vaguely remember reading about that i just completly forgot

why do you think klitschko would fight povetkin/chambers instead of any of the other names mentioned, just curious? Povetkin/Chambers is the finals of the IBF eliminator tournament.

The heavyweights are one division where it is pretty clear that there is a guy above the rest, but he doesn't have The Ring belt. Anyways, #1 has to beat #2, which is Samuel Peter, or in some cases #1 can beat #3 to become The Ring champ. I think this would be one of those cases. Anyways, in the last edition of The Ring's rankings, Ruslan Chagaev jumped Oleg Maskaev to become the new #3. So now Klitschko vs. Chagaev could do it in the future. http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ratings2.html finally they fix that. chagaev is obviously a top 3 if not top 2. but klitchsko isn't gonna be fighting him next cuz he has to fight the winner of povetkin-chambers first.

Shitty... Well at least Klitschko-Ibragimov takes one beltholder out the equation.

Chagaev will have to fight the winner of Valuev/Lyakhovich next, WBC belt is a mess with 5 people in line for it, so we won't see the Ring champion this year, I'm afraid.

He still won't fight one of the top 3 guys. he'll be fighting Povetkin or Chambers next.
