Who deserves the next shot at Wlad?

I think Thompson is more dangerous to Wlad then Povetkin and should be considered first.

But in all likes we will find out next week.

Tommy Morrison.

Whose ever handlers pay the IBF and WBO more!! WACKA WACKA WACKA!!!

Povetkin has some good wins over Byrd and Chambers but I don't think he is ready to fight Wlad with only 15 fights as a pro.

His biggest wins come over smaller men (Donald was bigger but also a lot older).

With more pro experience he could be a great challenge to Wladimir, his style is ideal to make a good, exciting fight out of it (and a short one if his chin won't hold up).

If I could decide, I would make Povetkin and Thompson fight each other and let the winner fight Wladimir so we won't have 2 mandatories.

But Thompson deserves it for consistent work for many years as a heavyweight, he isn't getting any younger so he either gets his title shot now or never...

Thompson should have the chance to fight him first, because he's been waiting longer.

The IBF, however, has been more impatient with mandatories in the past than the WBO, so they may order Wlad to fight Povetkin next.

In that case, Thompson would perhaps fight someone else for an interim WBO title...

Thompson won't be ko'd and has a better chance, however slim it may be, to beat Kliterous then Povetkin. Povetkin will lose his fight to Klit and most likely won't fight for a title ever again.

Alexander Povetkin or Tony Thompson. They both won eliminators. Who should get the shot first? I personally would like to see Thompson get it.

I cante see Povetkin or Thompson beating Wlad.

Mybe the Thompson fight would be better.
