Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Dimitrenko would be a good matchup!
I'd like to see Alexander Dimitrenko the young Ukrainian heavyweight fight Wlad this spring, now that the Haye-Wlad fight is dead.
Dimitrenko is about the same size as Vitali, slightly taller than Wlad and has a longer reach than Wladimir, 83" to 81". He has weighed about 10-15 pounds more Wlad normally weighs in his recent fights.
Wlad would have no physical advantages, but his experience of 55 pro fights, including 21 fights against heavyweight contenders, would certainly be a factor. However, Dimitrenko would be very motivated and determined to win.
This is at least as interesting a matchup as Wlad vs. Haye for me, although I know most people in the US and the UK would prefer Haye as Wlad's opponent.
