There are always worthy challengers rising through the ranks. Like Arreola was in 09. Mitchell Thompson is a good fighter still Arreola Fury Some asian dude eventually Chambers Haye ustinov luis ortiz price
A fighter losing to one brother absolutely should not discount them from fighting the other brother. Both have loads of opposition to fight.
Wouldn't mind seeing Wlad fight Arreola or a Haye rematch. Don't care what anyone said, Haye landed some big shots.
i think theres some great prospects comin through. fury 17-0 price 12-0 boystov 30-0 mitchell 24-0-1 perez 18-0 mansour 16-0 ortiz 15-0 pulev 15-0 helenius 17-0 abdusalamov 13-0 ustinov 26-0
For the last 6 years wlad has cleaned out most of the top 5 guys whilst vitali has faced the lower end of the top ten. Still i'd love to see wlad beat pov, adamek and arreola as a minimum. Within twelve month guys like pulev, fury and mitchell should be well ranked also. Then there's like solis and wilder who might pick up a ranking victory in the next year and a half. Wlad has atleast 3 years left hopefully pushing his defences to an amazing 20. Vitali could fight better opposition but I don't think he wants to anymore.
add to this some other untested by klits: dimitrenko 32-1 povetkin 24-0 wach 26-0 stiverne 21-1 wilder 21-0 szpilka 9-0 and these who were beaten so far but stylistically might have some success against the other brother: haye arreola thompson adamek chisora solis ... ist like 3-4 years before division gets empty and klits can feel safe to retire
Agree with this, Haye and Povetkin are the only guys left who can be called world class, prime (or close to it) and have enough to give a Klitschko brother trouble. The other guys in the division like Chambers, arreola, Thompson, Huck, Banks, Perez, Adamek, Helenius, the list goes on, stand little to no chance of toppling the brothers and are either waiting fot the Klitschko's to step aside and retire or they are too young and inexperienced. I dont believe some of these young gun prospects like Mitchell, Price and Boystov should really be stepping into the ring with a Klitschko until they at least have the experience and tools to give a good account of themselves. Not saying the Klitschko's are being avoided just that the heavyweight division is going through a transitional stage where quite a few fighters wont be ready to step up for at least 2-3 years. Id prefer prospects steered clear of Klitschko fights as to avoid ruining their future.
Vitali has 2 fights left max and i do think one of those will be Haye. As for Wlad, well he owes us after selecting Mormeck as an opponent and talking him up to be a Tysonesque challenge. That's my take.
