Who should Wladimir Klitschko fight next?

[Bodyshot3]

Give Briggs the massive smack in the mouth he's literally been asking for...then complete the project by facing the winner of Stiverne/Wilder and completing the collection by getting the big green belt. Job done Wlad.

I would have voted for Wilder, but it looks like Wilder-Stiverne has ZERO chance of happening.

I wouldn't bet on Fury-Chisora happening either.

So I went with Jennings.

Who are the 7 idiots who voted for Shannon Briggs

[punchoutsb]

Wilder and Fury (barring either getting destroyed before hand) will both end up fighting Wlad.

I'd rather see those two get some quality wins before they get Wlad.

I voted Jennings.

WBA belt is the next defense in line for Klitschko, so of Briggs wants a shot at Wlad, he needs to beat a Jennings, Browne, Chagaev. And obviously he would never beat those guys. He wouldn't even beat Fres Oquendo.

Klitschko definitely should fight Fury if Fury beats Chisora. He will probably destroy him, but it will be a big fight in England, plus Tyson is the type of character that hypes fights up pretty well.

It's boxing.
There's always a way around the rules and logic.

Here's a real stunner....unless you've been paying attention.
Klitschko now says he wants old man Shannon Briggs as his next opponent!

How could anyone have seen this coming?

A German media poll astoundingly reveals that almost 3 out of 4 (72%) fans want the 42-year-old Briggs to be the champ's next opponent.
Apparently the Germans have somehow bought into those inane WWE-style video vignettes that show Briggs supposedly stalking and torturing Klitschko around the globe and creating a humorous ruckus.
Since Briggs has climbed to #7 in the WBA ratings by devouring a steady diet of stiffs, the bout could get the green light.
"I want what the fans want," Klitschko warns. "Briggs."

Like I asked earlier--did anyone see this coming?????

More to the point, does anyone think wlad is perhaps in on the whole thing?
Or more importantly has he orchestrated the entire thing to raise his profile in the US?
Or am I just being paranoid?

[ruin795]

I would like him to fight jennings next (in february) and then the winner of wilder/stiverne in june or so.

waiting for wilder/stiverne would be bad because that fight will be not before january so wlad would be inactive at least till may.

This. Exactly.

[zorndeslammes]

I've been told that Jennings is specifically targeting the WBC title and not Klitschko because in winning that belt, it would dramatically increase his cut of a purse with Klitschko.

Jennings would make alot more fighting Wladimir than for the winner of Stiverne/Wilder
Yes if he beats the winner than even better but that is a risk in itself then.

If jennings decides to wait for WBC, then winner of Fury/Chisora will fight Wlad in Munich
