    Well,Dimitrenko is a very decent young heavy with a good jab and a good size.He for sure can hold his own against most rivals out there,but I cant really see him beat any of the Klitschko brothers.
    Neither will he be able to beat Povetkin or Chagaev in my opinion.
    Too stiff,too one-dimensional,too hittable.

    Dimitrenko is decent,top 10-15 HW but nothing really special.He would lose to Vitali,Wlad,Chagaev,Povetkin,etc.
    And Krasniqi was shot.Not past his prime but shot.

    he can't handle pressure either, his chin is also questionable: he was knocked down by chris koval and a hoffman jab.

    **** happens,ronnie. He ran into one of Koval ' s haymaker.The very fact that he went on fighting after that murderous haymaker makes me think that his chin isnt that bad after all.Most heavies wouldnt have continued fighting then.

    He has good speed for his size, but little power. The Hoffmann fight was pretty bad, he was in real trouble. I don't see him avoid or handle the power of either Klitschko, but he might beat all the lighter punching HW's.

    Good coordination for 6'7", fast hands, usually better footwork than that video shows, unproven punch resistance (may be better or worse than it appears!), young, good punch variety, good solid jab, defense a little to open.

    If his punch resistance holds up then that will negate his main weaknesses and I think he could pick up a belt. It's not completely out of the question that he could out work Vitali over 12 rounds, but it's all down to whether he could take the first 6 or 7 rounds of punishment before Vitali slowed down. I think Chagaev would beat him to the punch like he did against Valuev. He would struggle more against Wlad I think as Wlad's punches are much sharper compared to the current Vitali, I would have to say Wlad UD12 or mid/late TKO. Povetkin would probably outwork him and beat him to the punch, especially with the left hook.
