Fight for them yes - win them - don't think so. Larsen's problem will be that either Kessler or Calzaghe will hold the titles - he can't beat either.

Bute will proberbly soon hold the IBF-title - Larsen-Bute ... hard to call, but I think Larsen will have a fair chance although I'd hold Bute as a slight favourite.

Next for Larsen seems to be his old EBU-belt - that should be relatively easy for him to take.

i think you´re right faetter_br,kessler i too mutch for mads larsen,and calzaghe is to.
But i think,he would have a good chance at lucien bute!!

BUT he have only fought 2 fights,let´s see him take the EBU-belt...then he will be back in buisness...

I hope he will,he´s e good fighter.IMO

I hope that Berrio will beat Bute, or else it will be a lot more difficult for him to get a chance to fight for a world title... Berrio, who also is at Sauerland, could make a voluntary defense of the title after his hopefully victory against Bute...

By the way, I stil think it very hard to estimate Larsen's current ablities, but at least I think he will blast out Sanavia, as for now he is top 10-5 material (only my opion, based on his fights the earlier years), but maybe he will prove me wrong - I sure hope so!!!

THN · 08-19-2007, 05:12 AM

Havent seen him after his comeback, but if he is'nt to rusty, he belongs in the top 10 imo.

With a record being boosted like Valuev´s, I can see him going anywhere. That´s how boxing is nowadays.

pecks · 08-19-2007, 06:23 AM

Not very far. The front runners are a bit ahead of him in their careers, and in talent. I think Bute would take out Larsen quite comfortably.

I guess he's already done whatever he will ever do in boxing. I don't really see things getting any better for him from now onwards, and certainly not at 168.

satyriion · 08-19-2007, 06:47 AM

I think he will break mentally before he gets anywhere interesting. He is too soft and emotional too perform when really needed. Pitty, I really liked him when he was younger. Still do, but I think he is living in a dreamworld of yeasteryear. I would give Larsen 0% against Kessler today.

Larsen dominated every round of his encounter with Australian based Arab Hamdan who entered the ring with a very lively arab pop song.
The Dane even scored a flash knockdown against his outclassed Arab opponent who didnt try to turn the tables anymore after that aforementioned meeting with the ring dust.
The Dane showed a very decent performance,but I for my part would like to watch him fight a stiffer test before he takes on the top guns of his weight division.
By the way I was quite surprised how popular the Dane seemed to be among the German crowrd!
I didnt know that Danish fighters are that popular among Germans!

MCsomenumbers, what makes you think Larsen will blast out Sanavia, when he can't get rid of three half decent journeymen not fancying their chances going in? Ah, counterpunching, forget it. He'll win a close boring decision.
He won't stand a chance against Bute.
