If Adamek beats Chambers does that mean Vitali has a better win than Wlad?

    Boxrec also has Haye beating Valuev but we all know what really happened.

    Chisora being grossly overweight is on film for all to see.

    Helenius, as I stated, didn't appear injured.

    Indeed, me & my mates scored it for Valuev when we saw it live, & so did the Sky unofficial scorecard. :deal

    Wlad vs Adamek or Chambers II would be a horrible mismatch

    both should have gone down to CW and rule the division

    You must rate wlad very highly if you think a fight between him and his number 2 contender would be a mismatch.

    it would be a mismatch from the physical side

    Wlad 6'6" 240 lbs, could as well be a superHW division for guy's of his size

    Adamek and Chambers 6'1'', 215-220 lbs, both are closer to CW than to HW

    and at the moment neither Adamek or Chambers are Wlad's #2 contender, that's would be Povietkin, who unfortunately hasn't manned up and fought Wlad atleast twice

    I'd rather see Wlad take on someone like Helenius, at least it wouldn't be such a horrendous physical mismatch

    Screw his size, Helenius would be totally helplessly outboxed by Wlad every second of every round. :ko

    So you think Helenius had a career risking surgery just for fun during the prime years of his rather recently started professional boxing career that took him away from the scene for probably 8 - 12 months? :lol:

    I don't know how seriously Chambers has taken boxing after he took the shameful dive in Wlad match in 12th round to get the bonus money to make Wladimir look better in his win. I bet Adamek will have a good chance outworking the bum.

    No point in fighting a BUM with 3 straight losses.

    Pov is number 1 contender. Vitali made it quite clear he does not contend wlad's championship status.

    You do realise that's bigger than guys like frazier, liston, marciano, johnson, dempsey, louis, tyson, holyfield etc.

    The two are legitimate top ten heavyweights. The winner is a legitimate top contender.

    Why would anyone not want the divisions champion to face one of the divisions top contenders, especially if he was to instead, fight a guy coming off a loss to an unranked fighter in chisora!

    I'd like the champion to face the top contenders, I assume everyone else does

    but some of the match-ups like Wlad vs Adamek is a horrible mismatch, even though he's a top guy

    Wlad vs Chambers wasn't any better, Chambers had no chance of hurting Wlad and the most damage he did to Wlad was when he threw him on his back in the 2nd round

    looking at Povietkin's latest performances, I'd say he'd be out of the ring before the 8th round against Wlad

    They could be mismatches but it's always better to prove that in the ring.

    All a guy can do is fight his top challengers. Wlad needs to just keep on keeping on.
