If Boystov gets a shot, then Mitchell Rodriguez and Wach deserve one first. And for probably NOT the last time.........Helenius DOES NOT WANT A K2 until 2013 or LATER.:rofl
Yes, Povetkin is kind of like a small-town slut: everybody wants a crack at her because they think she's easy.
This is extremely close to what I would wish for the Klitschkos in 2012. I completely agree with your 2012 plan for Wlad, and in that same order. I prefer Wlad instead of Vitaly to fight Povetkin, only because Wlad holds the real version of Povetkin's cheap paper title. Only other issue is that Arreola is currently ranked #1 by the WBC, which would make him Vitaly's mandatory, but Arreola seems to be moving towards a fight with Wlad anyway. I badly want Vitaly to have a GIGANTIC 2012, because apart from the very good win over Adamek, his 2011 has been a washout. I'd like him to fight Haye early in the year to get finally get rid of him, but if they don't agree to terms, Boytsov would be a decent stay-busy fight, though his resume blows chunks. Dimitrenko is currently injured, so he gets pushed back at least to the summer, then a Helenius fight would put the cap on a great year!!!
After his KO of old Botha today, Michael Grant called out the Klitschkos. He won some kind of a "world" belt, maybe Wlad could add that one to his collection!
Is Wlad vs Helenius at the end of 2012 asking too much, ya think? Will Helenius get in line politically / financially?
I think that unlike Povetkin, Helenius will want the challenge of a Klitschko fight and the opportunity to become the REAL world champion.
Multiple sources say Helenius is waiting till 2013. But I guess it's not impossible for it to happen late 2012 if RH looks good and feels confident. Money talks. However I think Sauerland is looking to match Povetkin with K2 first. Maybe even Pulev too, who is one good win away from a K2 shot. These guys are more experienced and have less incentive than RH to wait for K2 to retire.
Lol. I don't know who this "Dimintrenko" is, but if you're refering to Dimitrenko, he would get destroyed. Featherfisted Chambers beat him up, what do you think Wlad would do to him?
A unification bout! :happy It would give the WBF a huge push into acceptance (still nobody would take it really serious, but hey...) If you take a look at their heavyweight lineage you will fall over backwards laughing. WBF Since 2000. Mike Bernardo (who?) Furkat Tursunov (again who?) Richel "The Dutch Sonny Liston" Hersisia... HUP HOLLAND! :happy ...vacant for almost 7 years! Evander Holyfield (at age 47!) Michael Grant (at age 39) ...2012 until 2016 (retirement) Wlad Klitschko? :think
1.A wild Grizzly. 2.A bum paid ten dollars and who's been given a baseball bat. 3.Godzilla and/or Mothera.
I'd like to see Seth Mitchell in with a Klitschko late next year. Because Mitchell has an influential promoter and is an American, it would likely be televised on HBO.
