    At What Point Has Wladimir Officially "Cleaned Out" the Division?

    well at what point has he officially cleared out the entire heavyweight division? After he KO's Arreola which he's possibly now slated to fight next in a few months? There seems to be literally almost no one left, the Steelhammer has destroyed every top contender in unprecedented fashion!

      when he gets the wba belt from the hephatitis dude and the giant caveman.

      also when his brother is gone.

      as long as vitali is fighting......let's just say how can he be the #1 heavyweight in the world......when he's not even the #1 klitschko?

        He needs to capture other belts, and then knock out Areola and Haye.

          Well he'll never fight the best heavyweight since Lennox Lewis, his brother; so cleaning out the division is impossible. Beating Chagaev or Valuev would look good.

          The fact he's never been the Ring magazine champion raises questions about the caliber of his opponents.

            arreola is not top level. no need to fight him.

            i'm tired of the wba though. wlad needs to rid the division of valuev and ruslan.

            ruslan fights whenever he feels like it. valuev is a joke and a disgrace to boxing.

                I agree with you, but the fights with Areola and Haeye could be more exciting to the pubic than the fight with Rahman.

                  Yeah no one remembers Calvin Brock, who had a much better undefeated resume than Arreola. Ruslan has Hepatitis, if I remember right, so I don't expect much more out of him. Valuev is a joke, I thought he looked decent against , but he disgraced himself against Holyfield, I still can't bring myself to sit through the whole fight. For once I agree with a Boxrec ranking, who don't have him in the top 12.

                  If Haye somehow makes it through Vitali, that would be a big win for Wlad. If Haye loses, he will be reduced to Herbie Hide status. Anyone else, like Povetkin, still need more wins on their resume to be meaningful.

                  Wlad/Vit will never happen, but I don't see Vit fighting more than two more times.

                    arreola is exciting but he has no chance of winning.

                    he's not tough enough to take a beating and tire wlad out like lamon and puritty did and i don't think he punches hard enough or straight enough to catch wlad cold like sanders did.

                    arreola would be an easy night for wlad. at least haye has handspeed.
