When you step into the boxing ring for a living, it's safe to say your confidence is up there with the best of them. That would explain the reasoning behind everybody wanting a piece of Wladimir Klitschko. The world heavyweight champion beat Kubrat Pulev with a fifth-round humiliation, according to ESPN, but already the attention has moved on to his next opponent. The star is busy planning his engagement and baby's arrival with Hayden Panettiere, but it's believed he wants a sizzling summer showdown. His options are between Tyson Fury, Shannon Briggs, Anthony Joshua, David Haye or possibly another big-named opponent, but which fighter has the best chance of beating him?

Fury is seen as one of the fighters with all the tools to beat Wlad, but does he really have what it takes? British boxer Joshua is friends with Wlad, and many see him as a few years away from fighting at that level. The British pair remain as options, as does Haye, who famously lost to Wlad. He has been working on his return, and he's desperate for one more shot against the heavyweight champion.

Briggs has been stalking Wlad, according to TMZ, trying to force through a fight, and if he doesn't get it, he could end up fighting James Toney, who has been calling him out. That's right: Heavyweight upon heavyweights are calling one another out, but who will fight who?

Whoever Klitschko decides to fight had better be at his best, as the world champion wasn't on top form in his latest fight, yet he still delivered some devastating shots.

Readers: What do you make of the situation? Should Wlad fight this summer? If so, against whom? Or maybe he shouldn't fight next year and concentrate on his family? Comment below!
