Does anyone see anybody beating Wladimir right now? Either current guys or anyone coming through?
Personally I'm not sure that I can. Wladimir's chin problems are overstated IMO and he is technically definately the best Heavy in the game today. Although his brother is my favourite heavy right now I can't help but admire the technical brilliance of this guy. Sure he has a tendency to fight pretty careful but he has all the tools there if he needs them. Add to that the fact that he is ultra-professional, still young for a Heavy and seems to be very driven and it is tough to see him getting beat for quite some time.
Once Vitali decides to fully retire, I see Wladimir pretty much dominating this division for quite some time.
So do you guys think there is anyone out there that can beat him? If so, who is it and why?

as long as the HW division is a wasteland, the klits will reign.
Briggs might have had his number, but he only has himself to blame for not staying in better physical condition and therefore not currently being in a position to fight him.
Wlad has never been counted out, he always got back on his feet and was ready to continue!
Lennox has been counted out twice.
Wlad was not ready to continue in ANY of his KO losses you nut hugging racist prick.
I love listenin to Lennox Lewis do commentary on Klit's fights. He's always remarking on how Klit should throw more variety of punches and if he was in there he would do this and that. You can tell he really wants to say I am so much better than this guy.
I believe Lewis wants Wladimir to become a much better fighter. He gives some advice to Steward how Wladimir can relaxe more.
Wladimir will fight until 35/36 and than retire as the last great Champion.
You don't take away a world title from a guy who beats the count after one punch in the second round. If Lewis was unable to defend himself the ref could have stopped it seconds later.
McCALL CALLED IT! LOOK IT UP!!
Lewis got ****ED UP. Mccall called that shit and kicked his ass!

Actually Lewis was counted out just once. He was on his feet against McCall when the Don King bought referee stopped the fight.

This is why we should all really pray for Haye to beat Vitali, because IF that does happen - Wlad vs Haye becomes the biggest fight in the Heavyweight division since Tyson - Lewis.
Vitali is my favourite HW but I can see that Haye beating him would be better for the sport.
Yeah, I agree. I tend to think Wladimir missed out a little with this one. Haye is a chance for him to really boost his profile.

I think Wlad will regret not taking the opportunity he had to fight Haye. He won't come across anyone else in his career who will give him that exposure. Haye had Wlad in the spotlight and had people talking about him more then usual.
Vitali will now reap the rewards, especially if the fight is over here.

I can't see him losing at the moment.
Everyone he faces has the obligatory; punchers chance. It's a bit of a cop-out, most of the time Wlad just sticks that jab in their face and the punchers-chance becomes-no chance.
To find a guy and say definetively, this guy beats Wlad, you'd be hard-pressed.
Wlad seems to have eliminated all risk from his game. He simply doesn't engage on the inside, at all. It also seems that nobody has the handspeed, nor the skillset to trouble him. After going through the dark times including a nervy Peter performance, he's been comfortable.
Haye, genuinely did have a chance against Wlad about 20%, but Vitali is going to beat the tits of that boy and Wlad should reign supreme.
