Which of these should Wladamir fight in november?

[dammage7]

wladamir hoping to fight again in novemenr but will wait umtil after vitali adamek fight to announce (due to the off chance adamek beats vitali)

i have a feeling he will fight Wach or Arreola, regardless of the options here

[shenmue]

I Hope he fights Arreola, it would be an entertaining fight which will display Wlad's attacking side and power as he brutally knocks out Arreola. None of the options you had listed interested me so i didn't vote.

[Pirao]

I wouldn't mind watching Wlad KO Tarver, but I'm not sure if Tarver is ranked by any of the orgs so Wlad probably can't defend against him.

[The Hammer]

I was hoping for Chris Arreola in November, but I asked Dan Rafael on Friday during his "chat" and he said not this year.

Joe (Vancouver): "Is there a chance that Chris Arreola will be fighting Wladimir Klitschko before the end of the year?"

Dan Rafael (12:05 PM): "There's a great chance Arreola will get that shot next year but it is quite unlikely to happen this year."

Not many available: Mormeck, Ustinov, Tarver, and poorer choices like Welliver, Bispal, Zumbano, Charr and Boswell.

However, next year Arreola and the winner of Thompson-Arreola will be available (and likely Povetkin, Dimitrenko, and Helenius).

There's a lot of good up-and-comers who just need more fights: Pulev, Price, Fury, Perez, Ortiz, and Mitchell.

Can Wlad defend against Tarver?

Can Wlad defend against Tarver?

I don't know. Tarver isn't ranked at heavyweight by any of the sanctioning organizations, but he is a big name.

Perhaps Wlad will choose Mormeck, Charr or Ustinov. Those three are ranked by two of the three sanctioning organizations that Wlad is the champion of.

Ustinov would be an easy fight to make, since he is promoted by K-2.

What about the winner of Povetkin Chagaev or Liakhovich Helenius?

What about the winner of Povetkin Chagaev or Liakhovich Helenius?

Assuming Helenius and Povetkin win, I don't believe either of their people will want to feed them to Wladimir. Helenius needs a few more fights at least, and Povetkins people will have him milk that "championship" as long as they can.

I have to suggest: Why not just fight David Haye? The options out there are really bad, because Wlad his completely cleaned up the division. I remember everyone was furious Haye was talking about fighting Jean Marc Mormek again, and for Wlad to do it now would be kind of silly. Had Chisora not lost to Fury he'd be a viable option, but certainly not now.

Wlad/Haye II makes sense from a competitive and business standpoint. Haye wants redemption, Wlad wants the KO. I'd like to see it.

I would rather see Haye fight the winner of Vitaly Adamek.

I would rather see Haye fight the winner of Vitaly Adamek.

I would too, but Haye says he only wants Wladimir and Wlad is lacking any viable options for an opponent this winter. I hope Haye gets in there with one of the brothers (again) before he really retires.

I have a feeling Haye will announce on his birthday in October whether he's retiring or not.
