      Adamek is the most deserving even though he's got zero chance of winning. I voted for him.

      On the sky broadcast last night they mentioned Jean-Marc Mormeck as a possibility, and u put him on the list, wtf is that about?

      Chisora (or Sexton but he'll probably lose) needs more time and opponents, a win over Fury and maybe Dimitrenko
      would be needed along with one or 2 other big men before he goes anywhere near Wlad. Plus I'd like to see him fight Larry (cant spell or pronounce his last name u know who im on about), it would be a good domestic scrap. He's still very raw, although i would like to see someone spark the prick out so i'd be up for sending him straight to wlad now!

        Odlanier Solis (is not ready yet for Öner)
        Denis Boytsov (back in the gym after hand surgery, too early)
        David Haye (s gonne fight Audley)
        Alexander Povetkin (is not ready yet for Teddy)
        Tomasz Adamek (looks good for Wlad)

        yeah I fixed it

          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.
          lol @ the bold.

          Wladdy's 33 years old, most those guys A: suck B: lost recently C: aren't known by anyone outside of Europe.

          He doesn't need to be messing around with them.

            I mean... it wasn't really a list of people he's going to fight and are willing to fight him. It was a comprehensive look at people that are in the heavyweight division that have the best case to fight him. The fact that they suck means that the Klitschko brothers have done quite a job cleaning out the division already.

              I picked Solis as I don't think Adamek would be available for a fight in December and Solis, chunky fella that he is, is still a pretty big scalp. Would also not mind David Tua as an opponent, though it'd be very similar to the Peter fight only even more one-sided. Ideally Povetkin would be his best next opponent, but given his ducking ways and subsequent stripping of his mandatory position I don't think it would send a good message out to other boxers if he immediately gets offered a title shot.

                They've done enough cleaning, they don't need to keep cleaning anymore imo.

                A couple more big fights and Wladdy should be on his way.

                I for one think Adamek has a pretty good chance at not only outboxing him and winning, but maybe even dropping him a few times. Yes he's not a HUGE puncher, but he has fast hands, can move in and out and side to side and won't be a shot stiff like Peter was hoping to land a leaping left hook from god knows where.

                After seeing Wlad yesterday, I'd also make Haye even money against him.

                  He will probably get destroyed, but Adamek at least deserves a shot. He's fast and might be able to score points early on, but Wlad would probably wear him down and stop him with the Steelhammer as he always does.

                    IMO the Klitschkos destroy everyone on that list.

                      The question was not, who does Wlad NEED to fight, it was who SHOULD Wlad fight... a case can be made for each person put in the top of my post, considering half of them don't seem to want to fight at the moment, and the others are either undefeated, or present an interesting stylistic matchup to the Klitschkos.
