    I'd like to see him fight Dimitrenko or Thompson. Be good to see him against a good fighter that he also doesnt have a big size advantage over to see how he reacts.

    Dimitrenko gets KTFO.

    Little Soz was able to pull him into a life and death struggle before that one fatal uppercut. He even hurt Dimitrenko a bit.

    Helenius would absolutely lay him flat, same size or not. Dimitrenko would have a slight edge with faster hands but a disadvantage in just about every other category (chin, power, timing, heart).

    Thompson, though - he could give the NN an unexpectedly tough go of it. It wouldn't even be a massive shock if he scored the upset, tbh. That old dog has been hanging around the top ten for a reason, and even at his age he's one of the few truly serious contenders IMO (as in, could actually trouble any of the champs).

    He knocks people out. Boxing fans usually take notice of that. :lol:


    Also, it's the whole underdog angle...for multiple reasons. Late start, having to overcome no handspeed, not much of a thriving Finnish boxing scene to come up in, etc.

    That and he just seems like a quiet, likeable guy. Put that with his power and you have a fan-friendly fighter.

    I thought his fight vs Liakhovich was a sure thing!? I want to see that. Liakhovich is a big guy with a very good skill set & is a good inside fighter it would be a hell of a test for Helenius i think.

    that's pretty much right.

    allThough they have a plan for Helenius at Sauerland which obviously includes this past their best guys who yet comes over weight and their career has been down fall for some time. They at least should be matching him against young, hungry guys. But I know Boxing does not work that way these days.

    Sauerland wanted him to fight Dimitrenko for the EBU title, but Universum have no interest in this fight, it seems.

    Wouldn´t have a problem with Helenius taking an easier fight like Rogan next.

    After that, Thompson, Johnson or Arreola would be interesting.

    Thompson is most overrated fighter today. If he would not have ducked Toney at last minute in 2008, nobody would be talking about him anymore.

    Helenius would KO him with ease

    He has done nothing since Klitchko beat him and he did nothing before that.

    Helenius has faced better competition and would destroy him if they would ever meet.

    Yeah i want to see Arreola fight Helenius or Boytsov since he himself said he wanted to fight European HW's.
