HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTS IN 2017/2018

I'd rather see Povetkin's name in the place of Haye's.

Haye really needs to actually cough up a win against a top HW before he can be allocated any hypothetical belt winner status IMO.

 

I was thinking about this when i was driving to pick my wife up tonight.

What I'd like to see it Wilder/Povetkin, and I think it might go like Wilder/Szpilka except Wilder gets KO'd when he starts taking risks in later rounds if he knows he's behind.

Then Povetkin/Ortiz if Ortiz beats the Whyte/Chisora winner.

Sets up a cool unification with whoever comes out on top after AJ/Wlad.

 

I don't see Joshua/ Klitchko going the distance. Either one gets k.od by round 8,im guessing 5.

Parker is not favored against Joshua and is a far less danger than Wlad.


Fury may beat Parker ,but wouldn't count out on any aggressive fighter that presses him on Parkers level.Wlad would have k.od fury in the rematch.

 

If Haye gets a fight with wilder or Joshua he will run like a thief and stink the place out .I watched that crap with vlad never again.Povetkin would be more interesting .hopefully some big fights at HW coming in 2017 can't wait.

 

Yeah, I'm of the mind that Haye is a fraud and he found out that top heavies are just too big for him. I don't think there's any viable paths for him.

Also Russian commentary talking about Wilder for at least a minute in the Gassiev/lebedev fight. They must know he's a big threat to their boy Povetkin. Also Russian fans should get used to their heroes falling on Russian soil. I saw the shock and concern on Ryabinksky's face when Troyanovksy got KTFO1'd so he knows what's coming for Povetkin.

 

I don't think Parker beats any of them. No defence at all. Goes back in straight lines, Aj, conman Haye and wilder would all catch him clean.

 

You've been watching too many old fights. While he is no defensive master he has improved heaps in a very short time, he just offensively very well - offensive, and sometimes he takes a "the best defense is a good offense" line when it looks like he's going to get away with it. His track record so far suggests he has judged it well.

 

I agree that Parker's defence could do with some improvement, but it's no way near as bad as that!

 

Heavyweights seemed to be on the rise and now it's just fizzled.
There is not a Wlad level talent on the immediate horizon (sorry Joshua fans) and there isn't much depth at the moment. Wlad and Povetkin are old and inactive now a lot. Fury is a mess. Wilder continues to fight sinfully bad cherry picks.
Hopefully Joshua and Parker if he wins next week in what is a decent match bring some much needed excitement to division

 

Should they meet, I cannot see Hughie Fury beating Joseph Parker.
