    Fury beat hell out of him & he's almost 37 year old
    but should still be favoured over Helenius

    Helenius is too stiff defensively. Wilder by brutal ko.

    I think Helenius will enjoy some early success in the first 3 or 4 rounds but Wilder will knock him clean out in round 5.

    Wilder has had his only real fight in his career and came up short twice they ain't putting him in with someone who can beat him again..

    What if boxing gods has already decided this fight?
    Helenius is ex-champion slayer, Samuel Peter by KO, Sergei Liakhovits by KO, Lamon Brewster by KO, Deontay Wilder by...

    I agree completely, but he's already called for one.

    Wilder does not have a glass Jaw. He took massive beatings from Fury and it took until the 11th round in the 3rd fight before he was finally KO'd.

    Helenius would have been obliterated far quicker.

    I've been saying this for months. Yes, Hellboy is going to KO the Big Dosser. Dosser picked exactly the wrong opponent to come back and look good against. Helenius is huge, heavy handed, and can box. He's also coming into this fight with a lot of confidence and very little to lose. Dosser on the other hand is coming off a brutal prolonged beating, and unless he's planning on weighing in at CW level he's going to have packed on an awful lot of mass in only a few months. He's also looking past this fight by the noise he's making about Joshua, Ruiz et al, and that's always a prime ingredient for an upset.

    My prediction is that Helenius after a bit of a shaky start begins to pick apart Wilder and knocks him out mid rounds. Wilder will look slow, sloppier than usual, and badly reacting to everything Helenius lands on him. He'll probably still have the quality to hurt or knock down Helenius, but I think Helenius is going to fight out of his skin here and pull off the upset.

    Happy to have this post thrown back in my face if I'm wrong.

    Helenius got KO’d by Washington who Wilder KO’d and only fought two bums since. I understand why Wilder would chose him, but too much praise for him here

    Helenius is almost 39, had way more amateur fights (over 250), was KO'd by two of The Dosser's victims, and injuries ended his prime long ago. Kownacki is a walking punch bag and he's the only decent fighter Helenius has beaten in over a decade. Helenius needed a gift to get by 10-14-3 (10-16-3 for the rematch) CW Yury Bykhautsou in 2018 who he had 40lbs and 25lbs on respectively

    Helenius can punch though and if he lands I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked The Dosser out if he catches him before he gets caught

    He also twice KOed the guy who KOed Washington. He also KOed the guy who beat Duhaupas. He's not really someone you can put stock in examining prior performances of.

    Helenius can also punch from weird angles and at odd transitional moments. He caught out Kownacki quite a bit while squared up and being pushed on the backfoot.

    I hope you people give Wilder some props when he leaves Helenius drooling on the canvas.

    ... but of course you won't, Helenius will be a washed up old bum.

    He can and he follows up with a nice left hook too

    I will give him credit, it'll probably be his best win of his career.
