    Just read this article on skysports. Wlads camp are looking at Chisora as his next fight.
    Supposedly Warren is considering it.
    Has the heavyweight division lost its mind? You cant compare these 2 on paper, let alone throw them into a ring together.
    Are there really no other options for the Klitschkos?

    Steve the sad thing is you actually can compare them on paper:

    http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?sex=m&division=Heavyweight

    boxrec have wlad at number one and chisora at number 13. Im not up on the abc rankings at the min and boxrec arent always 100% but usually fairly reliable when looking for a ball park ranking. Chisora is ranked 13th independently. A lot of fighters get title shots on the back of been ranked in the top ten / fifteen of a governing body but are often just about in the actual top 50. (Kahn salita for example)

    So on paper its a legit fight which goes to show how dominant the klits are but also how stagnant the division is. Between them vitali and wlad have beat almost everyone out there apart from Haye.

    Maybe they are after chisora so haye cant duck them for another uk pay day leaving him with no marketable opponents?

    The options are limited to be honest.

    Valuev is having surgery. Haye is happy fighting Audley Harrisson types and raking in the cash. Boytsov is just back after hand surgery. Solis just changed promoters and is fighting Ray Austin for the WBC mandatory spot. HBO don't have the money for a Klitschko-Adamek fight this year, so they will probably wait until next year for that fight. Teddy Atlas convinced Povetkin to withdraw from fighting Wlad, despite being his mandatory for over 2 years and agreeing terms for the fight.

    Beyond that you're talking about Wlad fighting one of the guys him or his brother have already trounced, or fighting Tua, Mormeck or Dimitrenko.

    Chisora is young, undefeated, and just came off a decent win.
