    He will probably knock Joshua down.

    Probably not. Helenius doesn't carry the once vaunted power that he once did.

    Helenius is just a European level fighter without his power, now it appears his chin is gone too... He probably knows this and is just hoping to play his cards right and get a shot(even if voluntary) at one of the belt holders.

    helenuis has a bad jab and a decent right hand.
    pulev has a good jab and a bad right hand.

    You'll all eat your words once they release the shocking sparring footage! Even a shot Helenius has enough viking power to make this bodybuilder fold in half.

    How is that a "probably"? Maybe if he got a free whack but even prime Helenius would be outmatched athletically by Joshua. Now he might not lay a glove on him.

    I'm interested how you get the better chin statement.

    Didn't light hitting Duhaupas ko him?? The same Duhaupas who couldn't rock Wilder's glass jaw?? Didn't AJ cop a flush shot from the biggest hitter in the HW divisions and got up???

    Maybe I am misunderstanding what better chin means??

    So he has more power, a better chin, he is more accurate, has comparable footwork and stamina... How is this guy not a world champion???

    I'll answer... Because you're talking rubbish... Joshua is better than Helenius in all those departments and that's why he is a unified champion and Helenius is euro level.

    Joshua nearly counted out... Lol. He was hurt but he took a shot from one of the biggest punching HWs ever and came back, only a moron would criticise that.

    Wilder has unproven power that couldn't even hurt Stiverne.

    I doubt Helenius would even beat Martin. Yes because fighting Wlad after 19 fights is protected.... He should have fought someone like Sprott??

    Wlad, Pulev, Whyte, Breazeale, Molina, Martin... All were top 20.

    Even he is classed as only top 10... That's still one of the greatest punchers ever...

    Yeah... Wilder didnt try to KO him... Good excuse.

    Joshua wasn't almost stopped at anytime. He got up, evaded Wlads shots and recovered.

    My age is irrelevant but I'm well past 20...unfortunately.

    Wow you talk a loud of rubbish mind. Hard to argue with a hater. Joshua resume >> Helenius'. Unified WBA/IBF Champ >> Euro titles.

    He is comfortably top 10, probably even top 5. Helenius does not have equal power at all (62% KO record against much inferior opposition speaks for itself).

    Wlad tried to finish him off... but Joshua showed good defence and evaded most of the shots. He didn't "give" him a rest... that's nonsense. His brother may well have but Helenius wouldn't have even got the chance because Joshua would wreck him.
