Quite frankly, I can understand Wladimir's eagerness to get the WBC title as soon as possible. I see very few fighters that would accept to fight him if they get the WBC title. Wilder would finally step up and fight top 25 contenders, Stiverne is ,very simply put, Don King's toy ( however I do not believe Stiverne really wants it). The only fighters that would go straight towards Wladimir if they get the title would be Chisora, Povetkin and Thompson.
I fully understand Pulev's state of mind, but the IBF has some flaws in its organizational system : giving Thompson a third chance to fight Wladimir after only beating Price twice goes beyond me.
Wladimir should make an agreement with both Stiverne and Wilder that the winner of their fight should face him around December 2014 in the U.S. Klitschko Wilder for all the belts would be epic.
Why is Wlad ducking Pulev so hard? I mean I'm certain he's not afraid of him or anything, but why not just get it over with and fight for the WBC after?
It makes me think Wlad is afraid of Wilder getting the WBC title or something, I don't know. I just don't see what's the problem with fighting Pulev first, then going for the WBC right after.

The WBC title holder would avoid him like the plague! Especially Wilder...
Stiverne camp would prefer to fight Vitali Klitschko... lolololol
Quick hypothetical, what would it do for Vitali's legacy if he did one of the following two options:
- Came back and beat Stiverne and promptly retired again.
- Stiverne managed to beat Wlad and would have all the belts, Vitali would come back and beat Stiverne and become 4 time champ and undisputed champ at age 43.
I'd rather see Wlad get his chance at being undisputed myself, but either Wlad/Stiverne or Wlad/Pulev and Stiverne/Wilder would be fine. As long as Wlad got that chance eventually.
