To sum it up very quickly :
Klitschko wants Stiverne, Stiverne wants it to but Don King refuses.
Sauerland wants Pulev-Klitschko
The IBF refuses to let Klitschko fight Stiverne first.
Sulaiman : Stiverne must fight Wilder
Bernd Boente : Sauerland is expecting some absurd amounts from a potential Pulev-Klitschko fight. ( btw Pulev is according to him a "nobody")
Boente : if we do not find any agreement with both fighters (Stiverne ( because of Don King) and Pulev ( because of Sauerland)) we might fight somebody else
Doesn't he intend to run for Presidency next year too?
What do you mean? I don't believe there are another set of elections scheduled for 2015. That was the originally scheduled ones, brought forward by everything that happened to 25th May. So in 2 days. The guy Vitali backed is going to win by a landslide over Tymoshenko. Vitali is campaigning for mayor of Kiev and will probably win.

Pulev " I am a better boxer than Klitschko I will marry my girlfriend in the ring after beating Klitschko"
Pulev sounds very slef-confident if not arrogant.
He sounds self confident too
LOL
Yes. It doesn't make sense if Boente tries to treat Pulev like some bum. Get it on ffs and give the classy Bulgarian a good payday.
Yeah. Furtermore the winner of Stiverne-Wilder will have some credentials and that would set the stage for a superfight. It's never a bad thing to have a good HW hope from the US. The trouble might be to get that fight made though. That wont be easy.
Even though it would be Nice for Wlad to be undisputed, Pulev is much better than Stiverne and is a better win for his legacy.

If Stiverne would beat Wlad, I think he wouldn't fight again for 6 months. And I'm just saying this as a complete hypothetical. Vitali is currently campaigning for mayor of Kiev and if he gets the position he won't be coming back.

It seems to me that Don King wants to milk Stiverne as much as possible before throwing him into the dragon's den. If Vitali loses the election in Kiev, we might expect a comeback.
I believe Vitali would need at least 6 months to get to the level of fitness he was in 2011. And I am not talking about weight loss only. Unfortunately, the crisis in Ukraine affected his fitness. I wouldn't consider a 2014 comeback as being realistic.
If I were Vitali, I would make a one month trial training to see if I can still make it.
Vitali coming back would however be awesome!

Just imagine you are one of the Klitschko brothers for instance, let's say Vitali for instance. If my brother can't get to the WBC title, shouldn't I use my Emeritus status to bring the belt back to the "family" and then finding a way to let Wladimir fight for it?
If Don King or Wilder start to avoid Wladimir, a Vitali comeback would be, in my opinion, realistic.
stievernve and wlad need to fight their mandatories period
Says the guy who kept saying how incredible it was that mayweather was unifying against maidana - holding multiple belts in 2 weight classes simultaneously.
And the guy who said kovalev needs to go to showtime to unify
Yet says nothing about mandatories when late last year Pacquaio was mando for mayweather's welterweight strap.

Quick hypothetical, what would it do for Vitali's legacy if he did one of the following two options:
- Came back and beat Stiverne and promptly retired again.
- Stiverne managed to beat Wlad and would have all the belts, Vitali would come back and beat Stiverne and become 4 time champ and undisputed champ at age 43.

I'd rather see Wlad get his chance at being undisputed myself, but either Wlad/Stiverne or Wlad/Pulev and Stiverne/Wilder would be fine. As long as Wlad got that chance eventually.

Stiverne camp would prefer to fight Vitali Klitschko... lolololol

Why is Wlad ducking Pulev so hard? I mean I'm certain he's not afraid of him or anything, but why not just get it over with and fight for the WBC after?
It makes me think Wlad is afraid of Wilder getting the WBC title or something, I don't know. I just don't see what's the problem with fighting Pulev first, then going for the WBC right after.
The WBC title holder would avoid him like the plague! Especially Wilder...

Quite frankly, I can understand Wladimir's eagerness to get the WBC title as soon as possible. I see very few fighters that would accept to fight him if they get the WBC title. Wilder would finally step up and fight top 25 contenders, Stiverne is ,very simply put, Don King's toy ( however I do not believe Stiverne really wants it). The only fighters that would go straight towards Wladimir if they get the title would be Chisora, Povetkin and Thompson.
I fully understand Pulev's state of mind, but the IBF has some flaws in its organizational system : giving Thompson a third chance to fight Wladimir after only beating Price twice goes beyond me.
Wladimir should make an agreement with both Stiverne and Wilder that the winner of their fight should face him around December 2014 in the U.S. Klitschko Wilder for all the belts would be epic.
