Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Options Revealed: Back in March/April

[Pigeons]

Perfect. Those are the fights the fans want to see; Fury-Chisora II winner, Stiverne-Wilder winner, and Bryant Jennings. NY if it's Jennings, Europe if it's the Fury-Chisora II winner.

Parker and Joshua are a bit green right now. Give them at least 2015 for seasoning before the big time. One fighter I do not want to see mentioned is Glazkov, he is very limited.

jennings is best option....fury cant take a punch, chisora would be jab and grabbed with his slow looping punches.

[KO'er]

Jennings is the mandatory for the winner of Stiverne-Wilder, so it won't be Jennings nor obviously Stiverne or Wilder. (early next year that is.)

I think he should fight the winner of Fury-Chisora in April, though he has the option of a voluntary before Fury or Chisora.

I don't think it'll be any of these guys,just a regular optional defence against.I'd much prefer to see something set up for Wladimir facing someone from the WBC for an interim belt say Jennings,like how the unified champ GGG fought for the green interim belt,setting in motion a run for the full green belt.the motivation for him now has to be that belt.

A scenario i hope to see play out would be Jennings vs Wlad for an interim title whilst the nonsense with Stiverne and Wilder plays out,that way something definitive has been set in motion for a unification to be allowed to happen.it is then just a waiting game for Wlad,he can take care of his WBO mandatory later in the year or 2016 after grabbing the wbo belt.

A fight against Jennings would serve as a tune up to a Fury or Stiverne fight next year,I'm all in favor of seeing him unify all the belts at the earliest opportunity.the fact Haymon or King will have the belt coveted by the champ bothers me,a mandated order would go some way to putting pressure on these guys to do business with the champ,no messing around taking multiple defences before a potential super fight.

Briggs at Barclays please.


I'll be the drunk guy in the crowd screaming "let's go champ"

Fury / Chisora or Stiverne / Wilder would be good opponents. Wouldn't want to see a Briggs fight though..he'd get badly hurt.

hopefully he will fight fury (who wil beat chisora) or jennings. i feel they are most prepared and deserving. wilder is far from ready and stiverne has the worst possible style (as does chisora, but he will be lose anyways).

jennings skills and intelligence makes for a decent contest, despite the fact that he lacks the power to test wlads biggest weakness. that weak chin of his.

fury is packing some glass of his own and he has terrible defense, but he does carry plenty of power. wlad relies so much on his height and reach fighting a man his own size who can actually fight would be interesting. fury is no world beater but he is one of the better HWs out there right now. really arent any world beaters in the HW division atm.

its a shame ortiz turned out to be a roid head, i felt he was the best challenger out there. im glad wlad respects the title enough not to give into briggs' nonsense. dude isnt even trying to hype the fight, he is just trying to piss wlad off enough that he will take it out of sheer anger. briggs probably wouldnt even turn up to win if he did get the fight.

he should fight toney (briggs), they are about equally relevant at this point imo. if he beats him he is another 4-5 increasingly meaningful fights away from earning a title shot. he isnt capable of doing that of course, which is why he isnt even trying.

wlads reign is suspect as it is in terms of competition, if he fought briggs now when there are actually some not entirely terrible fighters out there nobody can say it isnt his fault anymore when trying to defend his poor resume.
