Oh,in moments Christian Hammer has changed and now it is Irineu Beato Costa Junior. Irineu Beato Costa Junior is good heavyweight in my view.I give him chance to beat hight workrate fighter in Hammer.He have good jab,and has good punch.And he knows how to fight tall.Was top amateur in Brazil. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=530280&cat=boxer
I think Hammer is decent, but will never surpass European level. His last 2 fights we're both awful, to compare Joshua knocked Airich out in 3. I've never heard of the Brazilian, but if he's good, he can beat Hammer.
surely his team KNOW the more lucrative and competitive fights are bwo climbing the WBC ladder......a fight with Ortiz/Chagaev would land him his old belt back........BUT......... no way Hrynov puts out 23 mil again for Wlad rematch and only Hate or Fury would be lucrative defenses.....maybe Browne. Smart choice going after the green belt since he's levels above Stiverne and both Wilder and Jennings would be easy wins for him.
Today Bscene wrote that Povetkin turned down an offer to fight Ortiz for the WBA interim-title and prefered to fight Charr for the WBC inernational title. Interesting !
If you don't mind sir, take a look at my new thread over in the Euro forum and see what you think: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=520034
