Is there a more compelling challenger for Wladimir Klitschko than Samuel Peter?

Question

If so, who? And if Klitschko were to become unified champ would that signal the begining of better days for the heavyweight division?

Answer 1

Although I never took David Haye seriously, he is most likely Klitschko's biggest threat. He might be too small but he has good conditioning, good power, good speed, and good boxing ability - all areas where Klitschko has beaten other opponents in the past. Haye may not be stronger than Klitschko but he might be a little faster. Haye is also more relaxed which can help him be a bigger threat. All in all, Klitschko would still win to me, though.

Answer 2

I personally would most like to see him fight Nikolay Valuev it would be billed the Battle of the Giants and perhaps the first time Klitchko was dwarfed. Ideally this fight would be better after Valuev beat Ruslan Chagaev in the rematch to regain his title so it would be a unification match but even if there wasn't any title invovled I think it would be the best fight out there for him. He already beat Peter although for a unification it would be a good choice and Wladimir would then be considered the true heavyweight champion. I think his accomplishments up to this point have been overlooked and personally I think he has fought the best available.
