probably when hes ready to cash out either one would murder him.....im sure he knows it too....this guy got worked by huck imo
I really hope the fat ass will lose some weight. He was 245 in his last fight ffs. At 234 he said he could move better etc and then he jumps back up 12 pounds. The guy is a joke. If you dont do the work then don't expect the results you want.
Give that shitty belt away! No reason to rematch Thompson, HUGE mismatch. Epix should pick up good euro fights like Sturm-Zbik, Bute-Froch, Lebedev-Cox ( Great undercard ), Balzsay-Sartison, Huck-Afolabi 2, Matthews-Crolla, Abraham-Wilk and all the other Sauerland tripleheaders instead of this bogus fight!
Arreola vs Wlad in the US with a decent ref might get a bit tasty. Arreola has the style to give Wlad a few problems, I hope he turns up in reasonable shape.
According to Helenius- words, he has never been offered a Klitschko fight. Since Klitschkos are known liars about these matters, I rather trust Helenius' word.
I dont agree that Arreola-Wlad will be anywhere competitive. Peter, Arreola, Chisora = tailormade style for Wladimir. Yes I put them in one category boxing ability wise. No defense having, plodders will get nailed by the quick Wladimir right hand all night long. All fights would end in a brutal beatdown. I want to see Boytsov in with one of the Klitschkos. Helenius down the line. Mitchell or Jennings. Povetkin.
At this point, any fight Wlad is in has FOTY written all over it :yep It wont stop me from watching though.
Nice date, it is the birthday from Emanuel Steward. I can remember Wlad´s rematch against Brewster. The crowd congratulate Steward with "Happy Birthday Emanuel". I will never forget this fantastic atmosphere in Cologne. Very nice for this great and likable trainer.
I hope Wlad retires Arreola he is bad for boxing, when casual fans sees Arreola he thinks boxing is a joke, when fat slobs get opportunities to be champion!! Wlad boring or not is at least always fit and represents boxing in a good way. Please Wlad retire eating contest champion!
It looks like the fight against Thompson is done deal and set for July. But Wlad-Arreola might still be in talks.
I'm not Wlad fan at all, but Helenius won 3 or 4 rounds against Chisora and you think he can beat Wlad
The Thompson fight is pretty unattractive, Wlad should have gotten Thompson out of the way instead of the incredible mismatch with Mormeck. If Thompson would have beaten another fighter when Chambers pulled out that would have brought more interest. As it stands, Thompson is older than last time and has been inactive, he's still not bad but Wlad will be a huge favorite over a fighter he already clearly beaten. Arreola might make things a bit interesting and if he has any success at getting inside than Wlad could have some trouble on his hands, most likely Wlad ko's him but Arreola has a few moments. I understand making the Arreola fight I just wish Arreola beat someone relevant to get his shot. He'll probably fight one or two more times before facing Wlad but it will be against the same guys he's been knocking off or possilby a level lower. Arreola will(by fight time) be on a 8-9 fight win streak but all against C-level guys. Thats the problem with the heavyweight division, the top guys sit around waiting for Klitschko shots instead of facing off. Its not the lack of talent since there is talent in the division its top guys not fighting each other enough that hurts. Wlad fighting 3 times this year is nice but when one is a total mismatch and another a completely pointless rematch than that knocks a lot of the luster off him being active. Hopefully Wlad has a better 2013 than the possible 2012 he's lining up for himself.
