    Well, from the list I'd say Haye vs Vitali, it's not a rerun at least and there's some intrigue as to whether Vitali could finish the job and KO Haye. I don't think Haye would draw well now, the Germans have seen him knocked down a peg which is what they wanted and he's taken an absolute shellacking over here, boxing fans, guys in pubs, boxing press, mainstream papers, no one bought his excuses and he lost alot of fans with them and his shitty performance, but those other fights don't look like much. That's the state of heavyweight now though, we've had the only 2 interesting challengers destroyed this summer. The only addition I could make would be Wladimir Klitschko vs Povetkin, Russia vs Ukraine, Olympic Gold vs Olympic Gold, it could be sold on mainland Europe as a big deal.

    Log off? why? surely everyone most agree that the best heavyweight should be fighting each other,
    and isnt povetkin the most established heavyweight after the klitschkos? You're telling him to log off because you disagree with his opinion that the klitschkos should face the hw with the best wins in the division who is yet to face one of them? and you dont want the rest of the top 10 to face each other.

    Vitali-Haye is the only huge fight left for a while.

    I would like Helenius to have 25 fights experience before he goes for a title.

    Sadly for boxing, like Haye vs Wlad, Vitali vs Haye is still the second biggest fight out there apart from Pac Vs Floyd.

    The heavies still have a draw with the general public.

    Wlad-Haye II ---> On the basis that people will assume that a second fight between them can't possibly turn out to be worse than the first one. It's reasonable to assume that Wlad would try to win the rematch more convincingly than the first time, while Haye would have to take more risks to have a realistic chance of pulling off the upset. Personally, I don't think Haye deserves another massive payday after what he showed in their first fight, but a rematch would definitely be a big draw regardless of what I think.

    Vitali-Haye ---> Vitali would probably open up more than Wlad did if he was to face Haye, this would make the fight more exciting. I wouldn't mind seeing Haye get beat up for the second time in a row, and probably worse than in the Wlad fight.

    Wlad-Helenius ---> Helenius is one of the few guys out there -if not the only one at this time- that is the same size as Wlad, has reasonably good boxing skills and possesses one-punch KO power. Wlad's chin isn't the greatest in the world, and for a change he wouldn't have the ridiculously big reach advantage he enjoys over every other fighter he's faced.

    As I already said, personally I don't want to see Haye fight a Klitschko again. He's a loud **** and he can go **** himself. If it was up to me, I'd choose Wlad vs Helenius. It's a very interesting matchup imo, at least in theory.

    The best way /only way to prepare for a Klitschko-fight is to fight the other contenders i the heavy weight division.Think many want to see a fight between the top 15 fighters

    Boxing needs to make fights quicker, just like the Floyd Pac fight should have been made eons ago.

    If Vit/Haye and get it on in the next 6 to 8 months boxing would earn a bit of credibility back.

    Vitali vs Haye would be my second choice cause you know if Haye lands a good shot Vitali could possibly get stunned at most.........,


    but the rematch between Wlad and Haye means either one may get knocked out.

    Wlad Haye rematch

    But Vitali vs, Haye, which willl probably happen will also be a very interesting fight.

    Depends, In Europe the Klit's AVG about 30/40G thou.. (Fans) a fight, IMO that's drawing power.
    IF you mean here in the states, NONE HW boxing is DEAD.
    (Unless you get both Klits into the ring... But honestly who wants to see that?)

    Here I go again...... :lol::lol::lol:Rodriguez is working towards a fight with Walker. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much a done deal I think.

    But Helenius Chagaev would be a great one for December with the winner fighting Pot/Holy winner in the spring for the kiddie belt. My guess is that Helenius will be content with the fake title until the Klitschkos retire, at least I hope he is.

    Boystov has to fight some cans he can get some rounds in with(Friday and Gavern would be his best wins, and we could see him in action vs solid fighters who won't crumble, and likely won't crumble him either. Maybe 1-2 b4 he's ready for the bigtime step up to Arreola. Now, if Boystov were to be successful vs Gavern and Friday, and Arreola fight would be EXCITING.
    I'd like to see Banks fight Perez, and Fury fight Dimitrenko if he is successful vs Firtha, the Rodriguez ducker.

    clearly vitali vs haye is the biggest draw right now

    too bad there is literally not one heavyweight fight i am interested in seeing right now.

    haye would run circles around the ring while being jabbed by vitali all night. just another payday for him thats all.
