    Does anyone genuinly think this after viewing his performance against Grant?

    I'm not one to write someone off after one bad performance, but he just doesn't look like he has the tools to me.

    Nah, he looked poor against Grant and it showed the limitations he has at heavyweight. He'd be better off trying to get a shot at Hayes WBA belt.

    I agree, though I don't think he would win that one either.

    He'd cause Vitali some trouble for a few rounds as he was in and out of range, but with no power to hold him off, he's getting pasted eventually.

    Wlad would just brutalise him with the jab for rounds on end.

    He'd give it a better go than some of the challengers to the two brothers over the last while have

    Could you name someone else, apart from Haye who doesn't seem to want the fight? It would be quite depressing (but maybe more accurate) to write that the Klitschkos have no worthy challengers at all.

    he'll get poleaxed but at least i expect him to have a go before he gets his head jabbed off. Too small and not enough power to win this one.

    How's that going to work? He's got zero power. What's he going to do school the Klits?

    He's technically skilled by heavyweight standards, moves well and he's got heart. But he lacks the size and strength, can't punch at the weight and he is getting hurt now that he's feeling true heavyweight power. He'll find it no easily to get inside the Klits reach because although he's a better mover than the other heavies they've been facing, he's still hittable and he'll be discouraged from moving in. And he can't do anything once he's inside because he lacks the strength and dig to make an impression there.
