    And he has the touch of death... despite going over 8+ rounds a few times. Biggest can crusher and hypejob of the last 30 years is Wilder.

    Imagine what his resume would be had Fury not been around!!!!

    Ducked Whyte? Come on. Why would he duck a guy who couldn't avoid Chisoras right hand? Boxing politics between Haymon and Hearn prevented that.

    Ruiz, Hunter, Joshua, Usyk, Miller, Povetkin, Waldo, Parker, Pulev, Takam, Rivas, Chisora, Browne and more... he hasn't fought any of them! He was 40-0, please let that sink in, when he faced Ortiz - his first big name! Wilder is the worlds oldest prospect in all reality...

    Against a guy who is barley a boxer. You think Helenius even bothered with a camp for that?

    Don't get me wrong his CV should be better but he had fought the best of this era 3 times. I just don't think he ducked Whyte at all.

    Always said it and it still stands, AJ v Wilder is a shootout and would be a great watch each time with a different outcome.

    He was never called as a mandatory for Wilder was he? I don't recall as it feels like a long time ago. I always felt like boxing politics stopped it

    Centred around what? He's fighting a cage fighter in the dessert instead of fighring the true champ who holds the majority of the belts...

    He won't fight anyone pal. Who can he realistically face next?

    Joshua looks like a guy who is completely confused. He was trying to box at range and all that allowed was Helenius to grow in confidence and actual establish rhythm. Joshua’s face was pretty marked as well and I can’t remember seeing him look like that in any fight other than the three he lost and Wlad. He’s going backwards. There may be something left physically but the rawness and confidence coupled with physical and athletic attributes in his fights pre Wlad are what got him to close to the top. That’s gone now, just a shell remains. I thought he could switch it around but now even I don’t believe. It does also make me question what Usyk beat in both those fights truthfully. Both Franklin and Helenius have fought toe to toe with him and not looked hugely troubled for 18 rounds. I think the Dubois fight will be interesting because he’s better than people think - no doubt I’ll get stuck for that.

    A word for Bellew. Said it once and will say it a million times, this guy is just an embarrassment. He was justifying the performance, saying AJ is adding to his armoury and some sort of excuse that he knows he can be hurt so is game planning accordingly. The problem is it’s never balanced, there is never constructive criticism. He’s putrid. Shout out to Barry Jones who tried to hold him to account and I think he revels in it now as he knows he has respect of boxing ‘hardcore’. Hope his TV work continues and he gets a few gigs.
