Don't know a damn things about this guy, except that he's 6'7", so it would be the Clash of the Titans. Dimitrenko chops down Hoffmann! By Karl Freitag / Photo: Eroll Popova This content is protected
no way, not now, but when Dimitrenko is 31 he may be much improved. right now Dimitrenko is a top 25 guy, not a top guy.
you gotta be crazy! he went down from a jab by hoffmann! and he isn't really a puncher, he couldn't finish 10 of his 26 first opponents though they were mainly C and D level fighters.
No...he doesn't have the technical skills of Wladimir or the power of Sanders or Brewster. He would likely get outjabbed, outboxed, and knocked out within 5.
I believe he could challenge Wlad and put up a competitive fight in a couple of years, if he keeps improving, but not win.
The fight with Danny Batchelder was a struggle which Dimitrenko happened to win. A slightly tougher opponent would have beaten him. He has a long way to go before he has a hope of facing Klitschko as an equal.
I agree, he has a long way to go, but 5 years from now if his health permits, he will be a powerful force, and I do see him with any of the four belts in his professional carrer.
Povetkin might have something to say about that. And there is Boytsov lurking in the shadows. I don't think Dimitrenko can expect an easy career.
Right now Vlad would crush him. Dimi is nowhere near ready for that kind of challenge. Maybe...and it is a big maybe...in a few years. From the clips I saw, while he has size, he does not seem to have the skills, power or athleticism of Vlad. He needs a lot of work.
