Steward wants Wlad to fight Tarver in the US  Empty Steward wants Wlad to fight Tarver in the US

Legendary trainer Emanuel Steward would like heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to return to America for his next fight after the Ukrainian meets Jean-Marc Mormeck in Dusseldorf this December.

Steward, who has taken Klitschko to his current position as WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO title holder, will oversee a seventh straight bout in Germany in six weeks but would then like to see Dr. Steelhammer fight in his own native US.

Klitschko, 35, last fought stateside in 2008 against Sultan Ibragimov at Madison Square Garden and the Kronk Gym head coach singled out IBO cruiserweight champion Antonio Tarver as a possible opponent.

“Firstly, I would like to Wladimir returned to the American ring,” Steward told Klitschko.com.

“Although the choice of opponents is not vast, there is Antonio Tarver and Chris Arreola.

“The greater interest would be in a fight against Tarver, because Antonio knows how to attract people's attention.”

42 year-old Tarver recently knocked-out Australian Danny Green to take his title and has since found it hard to attract a big-name opponent with Bernard Hopkins seemingly disinterested in moving up to cruiserweight at this point.

The ‘Magic Man’ has fought at heavyweight once previously when out-pointing Nagy Aguilera in 2010 and would be another former cruiserweight for Klitschko after the infamous David Haye fight and the forth-coming Mormeck defence.

What's the problem? Just a 42 year old man who'd be giving up 75 pounds. Seems legit. Suspect

These fights against Mormeck and now a possible one with Tarver are just ridiculous, at least fight a legit HW.

I honestly am beginning to wonder how many defenses Wlad is going to rack up if there is no fluke KO loss. He has 10 trinket and 3 lineal right now. I suspect he will get AT LEAST 6 more without too much trouble putting him at 16 and 9. I know Tarver is completely undeserving but Povetkin, Helenius, Dimitrenko, and Boystov have to step up. Wlad would gladly destroy any one of those guys.

Wladimir needs to retire before he does more damage to the division.

So if the exscuse that all the good HWs are in the NBA and NFL is just that, an exscuse. Can someone explain to me why the HW division has been this bad for this long. No period in boxing has it been this bad for as long as it has.

That's to be expected, we deep fry our national dish.

[quote="powerpuncher"]i just want there to be a few good HWs.[/quote


there is very few with any guts left for damn sure. Helenius, Fury, and Chisora seem like the only guys who have been pushing to EVER face Wlad!!!! Dimitrenko is content not to. Povetkin is scared shitless of ding so.

Was told Tony Thompson is mandatory for Klitschko-Mormeck winner now that @Champfasteddie has declined to face Thompson in the eliminator.

So we probably see Wlad beat up Thompson again in the first 5 months of next year.

i actually think the helenius has the best chance just because of his punch and he is a good size but i think that he is still pretty green.

Helenius is pretty green. Wlad's team isn't dumb. 2-2.5 years of fights would serve Helenius well in preparation. So I think Wlad's team might start pushing for the fight by the middle of next year. Destroy the guy before he is ready.

But doesn't this situation prove that theory out?
