I agree that any one whos will to make him fight has a chance. Haye Povetkin Sounds bout right to me both are fearless fighters.
Kevin Johnson looked good in his last fight, but his style is all wrong to beat Klitschko. Wlad feists (spelling) on defensive boxers with low knockout ratios. Let's face it, at 30 punches a round, this guy is not going to outbox Wlad, and with 9 out of 22 KO's against tomato cans mostly, he doesn't have that much chance of scoring a knockout over Wlad. Haye and Arreola have a puncher's chance, though small ones. Of those two, i'd favor Haye who might be a less durable, but has a lot more speed and probably better one-punch power. Povetkin also has a chance but has to wear Wlad down, and we've seen how hard it's become in recent years to close the gap against him. I'd rate Haye's punchers chance as best of these three, with Povetkin's chances second and Arreola third. Arreola won't make it out of the 5th round in the current shape he is in. :-(
It's going to have to be someone who is willing to take a lot of punishment to dish out his own. Right now, I don't see anyone with that ability. Haye is too fragile, Valuev too slow, Povetkin and Arreoloa to unskilled, and all the others with the power, are simply too slow to get inside and reach Wlad. You know, right now the most dangerous fighter Wladimir could face would be Oliver McCall.
The big IF is in shape. A 245+ pound Arreola stands no chance. At 6'4 a 235lb in shape Nightmare does have the traditional "punchers chance".
Only Vitali could beat Vlad and they will never fight each other, esp. now since their father just died. There father was only 64 years old. Klitschkos were at their father's side when he died.................Very sorry to hear such sad news.............
Pfff i dont disagree Scar but how depressing is it that the two most talented fighters at HW outthere not with a surname starting K seem completely uninterested in actually fighting. atsch
which Klitschko? I like this Mike Perez. If he lives up to his potential, he could be the next Tyson. But the only guy that can beat Wlad is Wlad himself when he decides to retire, He will not lose again.
