    I think Dimitrenko has the best shot cuz he is a 6'7" 255 pound hw that knows how to box and Kltischko would have a very hard time trying to establish a jab against him. Dimi also holds the distinction of stopping the only guy(Timo Hoffman) that has gone a whole 12 rounds against Vitali.

    Arreola on the other hand I think gets stopped early cuz he is just too careless with his punches. He will get caught by a well timed right cross and he will be out cold.

    I have not seen Dimitrenko yet, as i am not a huge follower of the division really, However from what I have heard from you and others he sounds like a very good fighter.

    I agree with you on Arreola, people like him because he is exciting. But excitement doesn't win you fights. Klitschko would be able to catch him pretty easy from what i seen of Arreola, and getting caught by Wlad a few times is pretty bad.
    I think Dimitrenko is more dangerous for Wlad than Valuev. Dimitrenko has one or two more fights to win to become mandatory for Wlad. I just wish they would show a few of his fights on TV, I'll bet boxing community would give him more props. I mean, the guy has such a beautiful combination - a face of a 2-year old baby and personality of a rattle snake in the ring.

        I think that Rushlan Chagaev would be a bad style match up for Klitscho. He struggled with Tony Thompson, a skilled southpaw but was up there in age and doesn't possess the kind of punching power that Chagaev has or the countering ability. If Wlad made the mistakes that he made in the first few rounds with Thompson with Chagaev, then he would have been gone. I still think Chagaev would beat him.

          Ruslan Chagaev, dude has power and is a smart boxer that was how he was able to handle virchis, Valuev, skelton and ruiz. Granted some of em ain't the best heavies but he's proven somethin but getting by all of these guys and still bein undefeated. Ruslan definitely could take out Wlad and I give him the highest chance of doing it right now over Haye and Arreola.

            Check out his fight with Hoffman if you can find it. Dirty fight, hard-fought for 12 rounds, 4 knock-downs total (Dimitrenko went down once and Hoffman went down 3 times). When the fight was over in 12th round, Dimitrenko was jumping around the ring like he was getting ready for a public workout. Unbelievable stamina for a big guy like him.

              Damnn, I'll try find that!

              That pic of him in your sig looks a bit like Ivan Drago, or is it just me

              I will take a look tomorrow for some fights of his.

                Haye doesn't only have a punchers chance, he has a tremendous punchers chance. I don't think Haye has the defense to go down the stretch with Wlad, but he can get Wlad out early. I still pick Wlad to win, but I'm just burly leaning toward him at this point. We really need to see how Haye does at HW first.

                  Yeah, We can't really say until we see Haye at heavyweight. But right now, I think Wlad by KO withing 6 rounds or so.

                    I gotta agree with the brothas

                    A healthy, motivated Ruslan Chagaev is probably the toughest fight for Wlad right now....He has the skills, intelligence, power and tougness to be competitive or possibly pull off an upset.

                    With that being said, Wlad wins a UD over Chagaev

                    I can't see any heavyweight beating Wlad....I think he will continue his winning streak until he retires.

                      Yep,

                      I have to agree with that.
