Ukrainian HeavyWeighters

[mykolakozak]

How would you rank these 6 Ukrainian Heavyweighters in strength:

Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, Wladimir Virchis, Oleg Platov, Alexander Dimitrenko, and Taras Bidenko

Me:
1. Vitali (if he can get his health together, thus this spot can be vacant)
2. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Wladimir Virchis
4. Alexander Dimitrenko
5. Oleg Platov
6. Taras Bidenko

1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Vladimir Virchis
3. Vitali Klitschko (would be number 1 if he was in top shape and top health, but he can no longer make it through an entire training camp without an injury. Plus he hasn't fought since late 2004. I question whether or not he fights again)
4. Alexander Dimitrenko
5. Oleg Platov
6. Taras Bidenko

I dont have Vitali ranked because he has not fought in long time.

Dimitrenko and Virchis are fighting, right? Too bad , I would rather they just both beat American opponents.

I rated them on their ability and overall talent, but if we are talking about physical strength, I'd say Vlad Virchis is number 1.

Yeah, just based on physical strength , Virchis is probably just as strong as any HW. He looks very strong. Virchis is very big 6'5 and heavy handed.

1. Vitali (100% quitter)
2. Wladimir Klitschko (No chin or stamina)
3. Wladimir Virchis (C class fighter at best)
4. Alexander Dimitrenko (Glass jaw and no power)
5. Oleg Platov (Weak skin cuts to easy)
6. Taras Bidenko (No skills what so ever)

vit klit - keep dream'n
wlad - currently the best by far
vichis & dimitrenko - if they are as good as i think they are, how about taking a fight outside of europe?
platov & bidenko - too early to say anything, come to the us and knockout some over the hill one-time contenders (mercer, tubbs, etc.), then we'll see

Virchis and Dimitrenko should fight outside Europe, but for some reason Germany is really good at keeping many great boxers not moving any where else, for instance Dzindziruk, a great boxer, yet only fights in Germany. But I agree with you, some American exposure would be beautiful.
