    Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?

    Who would you like to see Wladimir Klitschko fight next? He may fight again in December.

    In the poll, I've left out the people he's already beaten, and Povetkin and Haye who are ducking him.

    All he needs to do is fight Adamek and Haye and then he could retire.

    Povetkin was never a big fight anyway, though I think it would be a good fight if it happened.

      I wouldn't mind seeing him knock out Valuev.

      It would be pure highlight reel.

      Adamek is a joke of a fight. Wlad would take him out in 2 rounds. He has nothing to fear. Adamek is a non-puncher at the weight.

        Vitali (if he beats Briggs) v Adamek

          I'd like to see him fight Haye if Haye grows some balls.

            There really is noone suitable out there, I think.
            I rate Adamek very highly, but I think he is a too small heavyweight to have a chance. Povetkin and Haye obviously don't want to face him and the rest is uninteresting.

                Relevant (enough) people left to fight:
                Alexander Dimitrenko
                Nikolay Valuev
                Odlanier Solis
                Denis Boytsov
                David Haye
                Alexander Povetkin
                Tomasz Adamek

                People who don't have credibility yet haven't lost in a while:
                Alexander Ustinov
                Oleg Platov
                Francisco Pianeta
                Robert Helenius

                Guys who need a big win to get them in position:
                Timur Ibragimov
                Sam Sexton

                I just looked at boxrec's top 25 to get a feel of who is who in the division.

                I'd personally like to see the brothers get down on Odlanier Solis and Alexander Povetkin, with Alexander Dimitrenko and Denis Boytsov as their backups.

                  I think Tomasz Adamek most deserves a title shot.

                  After that, there will be new, younger contenders such as the winner of Chisora-Sexton, winner of Platov-Pulev and Robert Helenius.

                    If Sexton beats Chisora and Platov beats Pulev, they will emerge as contenders. But the odds are against either of them winning their upcoming fights - it will likely be Chisora and Pulev who emerge victorious.

                    And yes, boxers like Ibragimov, Rossy, and Ustinov are one good win away from being a legit HW contender.
