What Fighters are a potential threat to Klitschko?

I don't favor any of them against either Klitschko. But the most chance to get one, Haye and Solis...maybe, believe it or not, Adamek. I don't think his power at HW is that big but I think he's got the durability, the skills, the discipline and the will to pull off a huge upset somewhere.

 

Haye's style is perfect for Vitali or Vlad. Solis would be interesting fight because he stopped Haye in the amateurs. Klitschkos will knock them both out.

 

end thread.

 

(sound of flushing toilet) bye.. :hi:

 

sound all right to me.

 

I'd have to agree both K bros would defeat both of them. I'd still love to see Solis knock out Haye again.

 

apparently, none...

 

None at this point. Maybe someone will show up after awhile.

 

Povetkin is a joke bauhahahahaha He has no footwork. Eddie Chambers has taken control him in early rounds, Jason Estrada give him tough fight (being without condition). Povetkin will be eating most jabs of Wlad hehe. Klit Bro love guys who are standing in the same place, no running.

 

Agree, i highly doubt we'll see a motivated and in shape Ustinov or Solis though.

This.

Helenius - 6'6 (perhaps even taller) has a fast right hand with monsterous power.

Kubrat Pulev - 6'4 1/2 240lbs and has everything could could want. Good D, very good technically, power, etc.

1 more year and these guys should be around title contention. I think both of them will be Wlad's biggest compitition

 

If Solis took himself really, really seriously, then perhaps in a couple of years (2-3) he could challenge Wlad and not get humiliated.

 

What fighters are a serious threat for Wlad?

In boxing, his brother.

Haye has a very slim chance for a surprise KO (he is fast enough and he CAN bang), but his chances are slim - Wlad is too smart to open up in the early rounds. Instead of that he would grind Haye to dust with his jab - SHOULD Haye man up and enter the same ring with Wladimir. Peter, Tua or Briggs could be a threat for 2-3 rounds, too.

Everybody else needs either the license to use other martial arts or a weapon of choice. Helenius, Pulev, Boytsov, Solis could be a threat in 1-2 years.

 

It's really only Haye. He has the exact thing Wlad would struggle with - speed and movement. But Wlad is still a prohibitive favourite. Personally, I'd like to see Haye demolish Adamek and maybe Arreola first, then fight Vitali and Wlad.

 

Arreola has nothing to deal with the more mobile, harder punching, technically sound Wlad of today. I expect his sharper punching would flatten Arreola in the middle rounds.

Why don't people see how limited Arreola is. He couldn't even beat former LHW Adamek.
