    Definitely not....a win over Sexton is a long way in class from what either Klitschko brings.

    Vitali or Vlad would knock Price out right now for sure. Price is not ready yet.................

    no, Wlad of Vitali would beat him (probably by KO) at this stage of his career

    No, but after another half dozen fights against decent opposition, maybe

    Exactly. He needs time.

    Let him fight somebody from the top 20 first. He's never gone beyond 7 rounds in a professional fight. I don't think he could beat Povetkin for that plastic strap right now.

    I don't think Bellew was far off really. Based on Vitalis last outing there's a big gulf between Vit and Wlad right now, and it's no real surprise - he's getting old.

    So out of the two, Vit would be the obvious choice. Still needs a few fights though against decent opposition.

    Helenius would be a good match up, but I'd like to see him take care of Fury first.

    No. I've been a fan of him for a long time, and kind of knew he was going to make the headlines on the way up. I also knew that people were going to hype him and try push him too fast. Let's hope he keeps his head, keeps focused on learning and improving, and he can go all the way IMO.

    I will be the one contrarian.

    The Klits have not had for a long time anyone who has really physically challenged them, and niether have either fought anyone who equally them in terms of their natural frames.

    If he studied tons of tape, I could see him having a slight chance of outboxing the aging and slowing Vitaly, or blitzing and getting the respect of Wladdy.

    Not saying that it would be likely, but I will say that I give Prive a better chance than any pospect outside of Glazkov.
